Well, Nancy, that's okay, because according to you:

• We could create jobs by giving people unemployment checks.
• We'd have to be in a depression to find out what's in it.
• We could simply 'Deem and Pass' the recession as over.
• We could 'investigate' anyone who opposed the depression.

Just when you think she couldn't get any nuttier, she passes you right by with the newest height of insanity.

She cited tax cuts for the wealthy, two wars and a prescription drug bill....

How far down the list is a personal jet for the Speaker of the House and $150,000 of taxpayer funded booze?

[reagan_fanatic]

The economy has spoken, Nancy. You and Urkel have failed - miserably. Unfortunately for the rest of us, you, Urkel and Reid (the infamous Trio of Twits) don't understand that you can't put out a fire by dousing it with gasoline.

If the GOP had won, we would still have big time problems, but much better off. For one thing the business community would not have been demagogued, have much more confidence and therefore more apt to spend some money and hire.

Let’s send PELOSI into a depression on Nov. 2!! Bob

And if “Botox Bimbo” stays one more term as Speaker,you can kiss this country goodbye.

There needs to be a Constitutional Amendment that mandates annual sanity tests - administered by three members of an opposition party - to every politician. Failure to pass will result in immediate hospitalization and a replacement named to fulfill the unexpired portion of the term.

Well Dim Wit the unemployment was 4 1/2% when you the brain dead Skank took control of the house.

“Ms. pelosi...no one’s buying it.”

“How about if we say that flying monkeys would've been released if the GOP had won?”

“..Um no, I don't think.....”

“I could release my own flying monkeys and BLAME it on Bush! Ha! how ‘bout that?!”

This one's an oldie, from back when she was made minority whip. But it's a pretty good indication of character, and of what was coming down the line when she got full power to do what she liked.

[a fool in paradise]

Yes, the Left WOULD be depressed.

I remember when Katie Colonic went on the Today Show dressed in black mourning the election of President Boosh.

She was in tears when his victory was announced.

[a fool in paradise]

Ooops.

Wrong Katie dressed in black pic.

[Bryanw92]

She might be right. We might have been in a depression by now...or to be more correct, we would be ADMITTING that we are in a depression. This current “summer of recovery” is just a house of cards built on credit and government fiat currency. The sooner we admit that we are in trouble and start sacrificing from DC and Wall St down, the sooner we can start a true recovery that includes using our domestic energy and manufacturing our own products again so the people can work and have the money to make the economy move again.

[andy58-in-nh]

In a sense, she is correct: if the GOP had won in 2008, whatever the current state of the economy, the media would be loudly describing it as a "Depression". Why, there'd be special reports about soup kitchens, unemployment lines down every block and sad-faced little tykes shown on MSNBC 24/7/365 with the blame placed squarely on those evil, heartless Republicans - even if we had 6% GDP growth and 5% unemployment.

[Cyber Liberty]

There is a certain amount of truth to that headline. If the GOP had somehow magically won anything in 2008, the press would be in high dudgeon about the Depression we’re in, whether the economic facts support that conclusion or not.

This is a red-letter day! Pelosi said something that veers close to the truth, although not exactly the way she intended.

How ya been, Laz? Miss Slippy says “Howdy!”

[sickoflibs]

RE :”If GOP Won in 2008, We'd Be in Depression: Pelosi,”

If McCain had won he'd be folding to most of your (Pelosi) demands sending Grahamnesty to negotiate with you, on top of suggesting his own progressive policies, and Republicans would be getting the blame for everything bad instead of you. You cant survive without GWB.

We are NOW in a depression if you factor in the national debt with unemployment.

I am SICK TO DEATH over this big lie. The economy was doing JUST FINE under George Bush until December of 2007.. TEN MONTHS AFTER DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER CONGRESS and began spending like there was no tomorrow, and blaming it on Bush. IMHO, they sabotaged the economy ON PURPOSE to blame it on Bush and get a Democrat elected.

[Danae]

Not to mention she was wrong about everything she said.... what is there to make me believe she is right now? Nothing.

Retire Pelosi. Its your only way out now. You are just days away from losing your power. THANK GOD!

[Truth is a Weapon]

No, bitch. Your winning in 2006 led to the recession.
