>>The Spawn of Pelosi!!!
Sounds like a horror movie. "It came from San Francisco Bay"
Is there one of those socialist programs that gives out new keyboards? One of the things I love about FR. You read something once in awhile that makes you laugh until you almost pee and makes your whole day better. Better still, it can be something different for everyone.
Thanks Phibes for mine.
It was recently reported in a local paper that Rep. Tierney has been appointed to serve on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In his press release, he states:
“I am honored to be appointed by Leader Pelosi to serve on HPSCI, which has principal oversight responsibilities over our intelligence community and confronts the most challenging national security issues currently facing the United States,” said Tierney, who will be the sole New England representative on the Select Committee.
“Congressman Tierney will be a powerful voice for aggressive oversight of all intelligence activities, whether conducted by civilian agencies or the Department of Defense,” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said. “I am proud to name Congressman Tierney to the Intelligence Committee; he will be an outstanding Member.”
The HPSCI is a highly sought after committee assignment. Former Massachusetts Representative Peter Blute stated on his AM 680 Talk Show “Blute and Scotto” last week that he would have loved to serve on this committee.
Members of this committee receive full intelligence clearances. Blute’s co-host, Scott Allen Miller (”Scotto”), pointed out on his blog an interesting side note to this story, thanks to an astute listener of the show. In the Parade Magazine supplement in last week?s Sunday Boston Globe, in the story titled One-on One with Rep. Nancy Pelosi, it was revealed that “[n]ow one of Pelosi’s daughters is chief of staff to Rep. John Tierney (D., Mass)…” The astute reader also points out that Christine Pelosi has a reputation for “romantic liaisons with members of Congress,” particularly, Texas congressman Max Sandlin. (Note: Christine Pelosi has not been linked romanticly with Rep. Tierney, her married boss–at least, not yet.)
…
As President Bush embarks on his second term, many of his cabinet nominees have been criticized, despite being eminently qualified for the positions (case in point, Condoleeza Rice and Alberto Gonzalez). It has always been the position of the President to nominate only qualified individuals. So is this appointment to the HPSCI a reward for cronyism? Pelosi’s daughter has been Tierney’s Chief of Staff for some time, but I’m sure her association with the relatively unknown Congressman didn’t hurt Tierney’s chances for the appointment. Should not an individual appointed by the House Minority Leader to serve on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence be the most qualified individual to serve, not the one who employs the House Minority Leader’s daughter?
It is also worth noting that Nancy Pelosi is no stranger to this type of cronyism, as she is the daughter of former Baltimore mayor Thomas D’Alexandro Jr. and the sister of former Baltimore mayor Thomas D’Alexandro III. It is doubtful she would be where she is today if not for her family’s political history.
I suppose the first counter-argument to this assertion is that President George W. Bush comes from a long political lineage, and perhaps would not be where he is today had that not been the case. Perhaps, however, there is a distinct difference. President George W. Bush was elected president, not appointed. Had Rep. Tierney been elected by his colleagues in Congress to the committee, there would be no argument–but he wasn’t, he was appointed to this committee position by the mother of his chief-of-staff. There is no doubt in my mind that had a Republican Congressman been appointed to such a committee as the HPSCI by the parent of said congressman’s chief-of-staff, the Democratic propaganda machine would be working overtime and in high dudgeon.

If Kerry fathered her child...Whoa Nellie!
Yup, the Republican mantra is "if you can't beat 'em, cheat 'em" </sarc>

Did you see that pic of Christine? Looks like a transsexual to me. After all, how could Marble Eyes spawn anything since her stance on family values is Pro-Death?
A shallow minded crook considers all to have the same mindset as them don't they?
Democratic National Committee seems to running on terrorist rights, they don't want to make terrorists uncomfortable.
Pelosi analyzing anything is like Al Franken trying to be funny.. its all LIES...
is this the Pelosi daughter who did the film about the '00 or '04 election? That one was relatively sane and not nearly as partisan as I'd have expected .. this may be a sister.
Remember, this political thing is in their genes ... Nancy Pelosi's father and brother were Mayor(s) of Baltimore, and totally controlled "Charm City" ... I think it was under the D'Allesandro regimes when Charm left the city
Can I throw up now?
Oh you're bad. LOL!
So is the space between Christine's ears.
Marble Eyes. :)
I always say: "She gets one more face lift and she will have a goatee.
Perhaps that visual will square us on my having to visulize her reproducing!
Here's another pic of the leading contender:
