Pelosi turns down offer to sit with Cantor at speech
Washington Examiner ^ | 01/25/11 1:02 PM | Susan Ferrechio

It's bipartisan date night on the floor of the House and invitations are flying. But not all are being accepted.

House Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has rejected an invitation from Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., to sit together at the President's State of the Union Address.

Pelosi moments ago announced that she had already extended an invitation to Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, of Maryland, who also happens to be a Republican.

Cantor was shot down in a tweet from the former speaker.

"I thank @GOPLeader for his #SOTU offer, but I invited my friend Rep. Bartlett from MD yesterday & am pleased he accepted."

Good thing it wasn’t Boehner she turned down. He might have cried.

Although I’m not sure Cantor won’t.

What is with all the sit together BS? It is sickening, makes me want to throw up. The GOP is the dumbest party ever, bar done, freaking idiots just about every damn one of them is a complete and total fool.

They're not called the Stupid Party for nothing!

Rofl. This whole sitting together reminds me of elementary school when the other class got to visit in our room and we had make room for them.

I’ve been away. When did the SOTU become Date Night?

“Sitting WITH....” Coburn has to cross the aisle.... How many DEMOCRATS are actually relocating to the Republican side?

Publicity stunt!

Have any of us ever seen such a widely promoted and hyped SOTU speech ever? This is beyond ridiculous. The pre established conclusion from the MSM is that it is and will be the greatest speech in history, even more “dynamic” than the “Gettysburg Address”!

So she got an offer from a different Republican. It is like 7th Grade getting up the nerve to ask someone to go to the dance. Question is, would you really want to ask Pelosi to be your date to the dance? She’d immediately get up and go talk to her girlfriends all night.

Seriously, how completely childish is this whole "kumbaya" crap? It is further evidence that we don't have serious people guiding this country. There is a lot more work to do in 2012.

***Like all hookers, maybe he didn’t offer her enough money.***

Yeah, it was a low blow to bipartisanship. By the way, what is she charging now?

Speaker Boehner should have put the kabash on this from the beginning. Once again they are snookering the RINOs.

After seeing her at the last SOTUS jumping up and down like a cheerleader, it is easy to see why Dennis Miller called her Obama’s “Hack in the box”.

***What the heck is this a Sadie Hawkin’s Dance?****

Showin’ your young whipper snapper age arent you?

All us older ones remember the Sadie Hawkins days at school, from Al Capp’s comic strip Li’l Abner.

That is where a girl catches a boy to take her to the dance.
