House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sat down with The Daily Show host Jon Stewart on Thursday for a contentious interview. The interview became tense when Stewart attempted to get Pelosi to explain why government appears to function so poorly to the outside observer. When Pelosi attempted to explain why this was the case, Stewart became even more agitated.

“Right now, we have a school of thought in the House Republican caucus that is anti-government, anti-science, anti-Obama,” Pelosi said when asked about the nature of governance in Washington. “They have a trifecta that just enables them to vote against everything.”

Stewart said that Democrats are then required to make a stronger case. He said that Democratic governance now appears “chaotic” and their execution of legislation appears to “lack efficiency.” When Pelosi again blamed Republicans for this condition, Stewart became even more agitated.

When he asked why it was so difficult to get a company to execute the Affordable Care Act’s insurance exchange website “competently,” Pelosi replied, “I don’t know.”

“What do you mean you don’t know? How do you not know?” Stewart asked laughing.

Pelosi called the failed website “shameful,” but noted that it is improving....

“Right now, we have a school of thought in the House Republican caucus that is anti-government, anti-science, anti-Obama,” Pelosi said when asked about the nature of governance in Washington. “They have a trifecta that just enables them to vote against everything.”

let's break down the liberal speak:

anti-govt: lawless barbarians
anti-science: uneducated neanderthals
anti-0bama: racists

culture of death continues calling names instead of addressing the issues.

she needs to be in prison

a website is trivial to implement... tho the convoluted rules might cause some issues, they shouldn’t have such obvious security and performance problems.

ESPECIALLY for $460 MILLION dollars ... ffs

[Bullish]

Pelosi has nothing to say if she’s not blaming someone else for the things she, and her party are guilty of.

He wasn’t laughing *at* her, he was laughing *with* her. Count on it. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

The reason Pelosi doesn’t know is because she has avoied reading it, that way she can still claim “ignorance” while the rest of already knew that.

‘Science’ is a magic word among libs/progressives these days. It’s used to end a discussion.

Video removed from YouTube. So much for transparency.

You mean the science that proves that when an egg and a sperm come together in the womb, if you let it grow, it will become a human being? Or is it the Dem's science that says it is a blob of tissue, no human resemblance whatsoever?

BTW, I was told that exactly by Planned Parenthood when I was 17 years old, 43 years ago!

Actually, she is permeated body and soul with dogma.

Her method of action is to put the dogma to work via legislation.

Incapable of reason, she recites the dogma 1. 2. 3. 4. 5......by the numbers precisely as recorded with no variation.

If NBC had two brain cells to rub together, they would hire Jon Stewart to do “Meet the Press’.

Lots of conservatives would watch just for the weirdness of watching an intelligent liberal ... Jon Stewart, Jonathan Turley, and Nat Hentoff are the last ones of a kind...
