Pelosi demands equal Dem/Repub Split for Select Committee
Hot Air ^ | May 6th, 2014 | Ed Morrissey

Good luck with that. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi faces pressure from all sides in regard to the newly-launched select committee to investigate Benghazi. Participating would legitimize the results, while boycotting it might open up Democrats to attacks on their concern for diplomatic personnel abroad, four of whom were killed in the attack on September 11, 2012, and leave administration officials no way to set the narrative through the friendly questioning of Democrats on the panel during public hearings. Pelosi hedged in the direction of participation by demanding an equal number of seats on the committee:

Me thinks the demoRats are caught in a dilemma

....one that maybe 10 percent of the population will be able to fathom; the other 90% will get the NBCABCCBS/MSNBC/Bill Maher spin about evil vindictive politically motivated Republicans.

Let's watch and see how heavily the 'rats target Gowdy in November as retaliation.

Not being present means you don’t have to answer questions.

Next ploy: Accuse Republicans of the Gotcha game.

Gowdy just needs say to her demand...”As President Obama said Nancy, “We won”. Now go sit down as I walk with my gavel up the steps because you have no say in the matter’.

her shoes are pinching - I don’t think they’ve got anything on Gowdy - nothing to blackmail with. And he’s probably the beet prosecutor we’ve seen in a long time - he doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

So she’s in between the proverbial rock/hard space.

She’s used to getting away with blustering and bullying and obfuscation, and blackmailing - and it ain’t working with Gowdy.

If she succeeds in a boycott - it’s going to look worse for them than the pubs - if she doesn’t, we’re to peel the scabs off and she knows what festers underneath.

Her teeth must be about ground to stubs -

(I hope Gowdy drives an old car, pre-electronics, has good backup, accepts no drinks at gatherings, etc., (Remember that Col. North, during the Iran/Contra hearings, had so many death threats against himself and even his kids, that he had to hire bodyguards and put a 6’ chain link fence around his home?)

The last thing Pelosi and all other democrats want is the truth to come out. They’ll throw every monkey wrench they can trying to derail this committee.

Democrats are vile, evil and disgusting.

No but it gives the media a reason to ignore it.

They won't be able to ignore it when Gowdy frog-marches The Won out of the Oral Orifice in an orange jumpsuit and shackles.

Question the empty chairs on camera and mock the hell out of the cowards. Remind the audience before each question that you’d prefer a human was there to answer.

Shen send out the Sgt. at Arms to arrest every dem that does not show up, put them in the cellar jail cell until they talk and run an internet feed 24/7 of all of it. Including their animal in a cage confinement.

These hearings are not - barring something unprecedented - going to end before elections - and THEN. madam peelface, the Senate will be ours too - I wouldn’t be surprised to see her resign.

She still needs to be investigated regarding illegal shenanigans that got O’Bummer on the ballot in many states in 2008. She’s long overdue to be wearing orange.

Well OK, we’ll go with your plan. :)

I agree that Pelosi is looking for a pretext to walk away, but consider this:

By saying, “Give us equal representation,” she’s ALREADY agreed in principle to proceeding.

If she tries to hang the Dems’ walk-away on the GOP’s refusal of her “equality” demand, it won’t work, not even with the lefty media. The GOP has 233 seats to the Dems’ 199. If the GOP offers, for example, a makeup of 12 GOP and 10 (or, generously, 11) Dems, I think Pelosi now HAS to take it or expose herself as the unfair one. She painted herself into a corner.
