On Sunday's This Week, George Stephanopoulos not once but twice, referred to Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi as “Speaker,” a title she would presumably get if Democrats win back the House this fall.
So, a Freudian slip by Stephanopoulos, a one-time staff member for the Democratic House leadership himself when they were in the majority?
Before signing aboard the Clinton campaign in 1991, Stephanopoulos was a floor assistant to then-House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt.
Interviewing Congressman Tom DeLay, the former House Majority Leader who suggested that if Democrats win control of the House they will pursue impeachment, Stephanopoulos countered:
“Democrats are also coming forward with another agenda, Speaker, ah perhaps Speaker Pelosi , she's certainly not the Speaker right now, the Democratic leader Pelosi says...”
Then with DNC Chairman Howard Dean, Stephanopoulos asserted to Dean's delight: "You talked about an ethics legislation coming forward in the first hundred days, that was not one of the top four pieces of legislation that Speaker Pelo -- uh, excuse me, I don't know why I've got that stuck in my head today-"
Dean chortled: "I'm glad.
I like the sound of that George, I like the sound of that!"

Pelosi should ask Zoe Baird, Lani Guinere, and Janet Reno just how much support women get from the DNC.
The same with Black Americans.
JC was a Republican leader and would be one now if he wanted it.
The DUmmies lie to black America and to the Black Caucus.
Was there ever a Black Democratic House leader ? Or black Secretary of State...or...
Why do they continue to believe the DUmmies lies ?
So what's the big deal about that? After all, a large majority of polled FReepers say that's what they want to see next year.
I'm sure Pelosi and Dingy Harry will use all their power as Speaker and Majority Leader next term to stop the illegal immigration tsunami that has almost everyone on the board except me cussing themselves for voting for Bush last time.(sarcasm tag)
if Democrats win the House... John Conyers will take over the Judiciary Committee and he has promised to launch impeachment hearings.
There was a black Congressman (Ford, I think) that was next in line for the minority leadership position, yet was passed over so that Pelosi could have it. Go figure.
That is my point.
The Democrats make lots of promises but do not deliver.
The voters are to blame because they do not change their votes.
The House chairs should alone force conserv Pubs and Libertarians to come back to the fold to keep this nation safe internationally and domestically. Dems are downright Quislings. And have been for nearly 50 years.
Yikes, she looks like Michael Jackson on an extremely bad day.
tooo funny...
That pic is too much. Did you know she has 100 million in the bank? Yet on a daily level she blabs about the GOP millionaires, tax cuts for the rich, and how business is really bad for the nation.
Nancy Pelosi, her commitment to organized labor essentially ends when it comes to her own businesses. Nancy Pelosi and her husband own a Napa Valley vineyard...
They grow very expensive grapes for very expensive wines, and they don’t use members of the United Farm Workers to pick their grapes.
This winner of the Cesar Chavez award hires only non-union contractors.
Nancy Pelosi and her husband also own a chain of restaurants and a hotel in Napa Valley, California. Despite her public commitment to the Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees Union, you better not join that union and work for the Pelosi's, because you will end up getting fired.
Another big issue is the environment. She always makes statements that, with us, the environment is not an issue, it’s an ethic, it’s a value. Which is a nice way of saying, “I love the environment, but not when it comes to our own businesses.”
in 1996, Nancy Pelosi and her husband and fewer than 10 other partners wanted to build a golf course and country club outside of San Jose, California, called the CordeValle Country Club.
They never followed the environmental regulations. The ponds were never built for these endangered species. For seven years, they also failed to file any of the environmental reports required by the California Fish and Wildlife Commission.
A 2004 County Environmental Compliance Report found all kinds of environmental problems on the Pelosi's golf course.
What does that actually mean in practical terms? Did they turn around and build this habitat and comply?
No, they solved the problem the old-fashioned way: they hired lobbyists and they got the environmental regulations changed.
