Pelosi sketches strategy on key issues
SF Chronicle ^ | 1/22/09 | Zachary Coile, Chronicle Washington Bureau

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a post-inauguration interview with Bay Area reporters Wednesday, said she will move far-reaching climate change legislation this year, but opposes - at least for now - the idea of Congress approving another costly bailout for troubled banks.

The San Francisco Democrat, arguably the second most powerful person in Washington, with immense power to shape the legislative agenda, sought to tamp down expectations about how quickly Congress and President Obama will address vexing problems, from a weak economy to an ailing health care system.

"We can't fix it all overnight," she said from her Capitol office overlooking the Mall, "but we have to begin."

Pelosi said one of her favorite moments from Inauguration Day was when Marine One lifted off the Capitol grounds, signifying former President George W. Bush's exit from Washington. "It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head," she said.

"It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head," she said.

Actually, that tingly sensation is all the botox eating its way up into your brain, bitch.

A 10 lb anvil is pretty useless.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about, so here’s a jackass with a 10-pound anvil on her head.”

Wow. A 10 lb anvil is a pretty small anvil. About the size of a stapler.

Glad her burdens are so light.

I will gladly email her. Do any of you know her email or how to get it I suppose I could call the capitol and leave a voice mail for her. But, an email would be good, too.

The only anvil that has been lifted is the one that was being used to HAMMER the Islamic Jihad terrorists. Now we will all pay for it...and you, Nancy, are one of the ones most respobnsible.

Anyone who thinks an anvil weighs 10 pounds has obviously never seen one. But what am I thinking???? Only working stiffs would ever muck around with anvils and such.

Nothing any of us could say about Nancy Pelosi is as damagning to her as this comment.

Pelosi:”It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head” (now that Bush is gone)

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t remember any of the GOP congress saying anything negative about William Jefferson Clinton we he left office in 2001?????

Of course, class is not a trait of the left....
