If there's still room under the bus where Barack Obama throws his discards-his white granny, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, William Ayres, Bernadine Dohrn and even Hillary Clinton-that's the right place for Nancy Pelosi.
The congressional bailout of Wall Street, as unpopular as it is, was nevertheless headed for grudging acceptance Monday until Mzz Pelosi, the dowager queen of the San Francisco Democrats (where there are many queens), killed it with a particularly mean-spirited attack on the Republicans whom the Democrats were counting on to join them for just this one bipartisan vote.
"$700 billion is a staggering number," she told her caucus just before the vote was taken, "but only a part of the cost of the failed Bush economic policies to our country." If only she had waited until the vote was safely taken before she began biting the ankles of the Republicans she needed, there might have been a successful vote, and no record 700-point tanking of the market on Wall Street.
This morning, millions of Americans could have taken a half-breath as everyone moved a half-step back from the edge of the abyss.
Rep. John A. Boehner of Ohio, whose state is perhaps the most crucial of the must-win states for both John McCain and Barack Obama, was disbelieving after the vote: "I do believe that we could have gotten there today, had it not been for this partisan speech that the speaker gave on the floor of the House." Mzz Pelosi "poisoned the debate," the House Republican leader said.
Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, the chief Republican whip, said many of his colleagues were ready to find a clothespin to hold their noses while voting "aye," but not after Mzz Pelosi's bizarre remarks.

Only one problem with that theory, Vet—Nancy Pelosi ain’t that smart.
As if she is actually running the show ... C’mon, she is merely a puppet of somebody behind the curtain. I’m starting to think that if Cindy Sheehan somehow beats her in November, it will increase the IQ quotient in Congress.
THAT’S for sure. Nancy is the standard bearer for her party: verbal diarrhea/foot-in-mouth disease. And I can’t wait to see Biden follow her lead.
Maybe Obama should suspend his campaign and head back to D.C. so we can address this thing in the Politics of HIS CHANGE. Isnt that what he is running on. Isn’t it he thats says America is tired of the politics as usual. Tired of the same old thing, producing the same old result.
Or is Obama actually the most divisive and Partisan Far Left Poltician that Change means Saul Alinsky type Change, If that is the case America really needs to know more About Bill Ayers and Rev Wright because that is the Change Obama is talking about.
