Pelosi Statement on Passage of Bipartisan Economic Rescue Legislation (This is a heartbeat away?)
yahoo ^ | Fri Oct 3, 5:30 PM ET | Nancy Pelosi

Posted on 10/04/2008 6:12:11 AM PDT by IbJensen

"Good afternoon. Thank you all for being here. As we observe the passage of the very serious piece of legislation, we must do so with an eye to the future. We were faced with a situation that had terrible ramifications for everyone on Main Street, but all the attention was on Wall Street. We wanted to turn that attention and that was our intention in the legislation.

Many here call him by another name.

I understand that after the passage Congresswoman Pelosi sent the maestro a basket of fruit.

How fitting.

It's getting to the point that no matter what the subject, if it concerns our politicians, my first thought is: We're so screwed.

This article is no exception.

Soviet despot Nikita Khrushchev observed that America’s transition from liberty to serfdom would have to be incremental: “We can’t expect the American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.”

Pelosi is the best explanation for the president and the vice president never to be in the same building or airplane.

That includes, as the New York Post pointed out, millions in tax breaks for corporations operating in American Samoa. (The likely explanation for the latter: StarKist has a large tuna-canning operation in American Samoa. And StarKist’s parent company happens to be located in the district of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.)

Maybe Pelosi should have sent him a basket of starkist tuna instead. Time to let Nancy know we are going to boycott Starkist. That anything she is associated with is going to get boycotted.

It's on our list.

Most of the other brands of tuna are coming from Asia so we have opted for canned Alaskan salmon and now eat salmon salad sandwiches.

The posted link is bad, but here's one from MarketWatch that works.

From the article, emphasis mine:

The eye now is to the future. To shine the bright light of accountability on what is happening in our financial markets so that it doesn't happen again. That accountability will tell us how we got to this place and ferret out the abuses. That accountability will honor our trust to the American people.
So, Nancy, you're planning to point the finger at yourself?

Doubt it!

There needs to be, but of course won't be, a crushing, fast-moving DOJ investigation into this entire episode.

“Mr. Frank will be holding hearings on where we go from here, because we are about the future. Mr. Waxman’s hearings will be instructed as to how we got here — that we know how to avoid this in the future. It will be about accountability, it will be about regulation, regulatory reform, which is essential.”

Dog and Pony Hearings! Nothing new there.

“”Under the leadership of our chairman, Barney Frank, as I called him on the floor, a maestro,...”

Now, that’s just plain creepy.

Well well, Nutjob Nancy! You go girl!

Here let me get you started in the right direction...

Bill Clinton and the Clinton Administration

Roberta Achtenberg, 1993 - 1995

Janet Reno

Community Reinvestment Act

Bear Stearns

Thats how this international crackup got started.

I would say that we have to throw the RINOs and democrats out of office but it’s easy for me to say that because my congressman stood firm and voted no. Even more astounding is that my senator (Stabenow) also voted no.

Don’t foget to thank them. Although, I don’t think the Senate vote was close so she could vote no after clearing it with Dingy Harry.

Steny Hoyer can be seen employing a new technique he learned from speech coach Barney Fwank.

How about continuous massive mail in, dog bones, tea bags, something that they won’t like. Most of us here are working too damm hard to get on a bus and protest in front of the capital for their removal from office.
No more tuna for me. I’m buying Alaskan canned salmon!

I like that mail in idea, although be careful not to mail anything that could get you arrested. I also like the buy Alaska salmon idea, too. No more Pelosi tuna for me!
