Pelosi does give me pause based on one of her recent votes though. On the stimulus package, she would not be budged on improving unemployment benefits. This would have had much more of an effect than $600 to people making $75k+, but because she and Bush had already agreed on something different, she wouldn't support it.

I understand, vaguely, her reason why, but I think she was on the wrong side on this.

Then there's her animosity toward Stephen Colbert, but that's a whole other story.

Unfortunately that brings up another error on her part which was to take impeachment off the table.

Nice work, sir, though I'll never be able to fantasize about Linda Carter's Wonder Woman again... thanks for that. Thanks a lot. Jerk.

I can't believe you can so easily forget Pam Grier!

According to this quote, she watches the show all the time, but suggests that house members not go on the show. I never thought to look until you brought it up, but there are all kinds of great Pelosi-Colbert links! [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] Thanks!

[...] "Pelosi took the jokes happily, 'Of all the introductions I have ever received,' she said to the comedian, 'yours is certainly the most ... recent.'"

Übermilf: Indeed! (Wait, is that sexist?)

Dean Wormer: "...Impeachment off the table..." I can certainly uderstand your feelings on the matter, but that's just another overused, out of context Chis Matthews chestnut as well. It's a single quote from an interview before the last election:

"In an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pledged that impeachment of President George W. Bush was off the table should Democrats gain a majority next month.

Pelosi speculated that Republicans would "just love" the 'waste of time' such proceedings would be. 'Making them lame ducks,' she concluded, 'is good enough for me.'" Raw Story

Wanting is not the same as getting.

Westcoast Walker: "Bush/Cheney INC.!" I love it. I wonder what their stock symbol is?

Dguzman: Like Obama, Pelosi spoke out against the war when it was not politically expedient to do so. She has also led at least six attempts to bring the troops home. Not attempting an impeachment when it was impossible to win and potentially damaging to the party may have taken more backbone than actually attempting it. Perhpas saving face was not her first considertion. I can certainly uderstand your feelings on the matter though.

MWB's World: As Scooby Doo said, "Huh?"

Germaine Gregarious: Really, my dear - We were just talking! (Ack! Let go of my ear! All right, all right! I'm coming, I'm coming!)

Liberality: Indeed! Somebody had to.

Jon the Intergalactic Gladiator: Kryptonite, maybe?
At Fri Mar 28, 12:46:00 PM, Swinebread said...: I agree! She's great...
At Fri Mar 28, 12:58:00 PM, Dean Wormer said...: Hmmm...

After reading your comment and your previous posting on the subject and giving it some thought I apologize if I'm still not convinced. I may post a response...

On the other hand I may be distracted by the bottle of scotch on my desk at home this weekend so I may just have to agree to disagree for the scotch's sake.
At Mon Mar 31, 06:28:00 AM, Dr. Zaius said...: Swinebread: Yay! I think that she gets unfair press.

Dean Wormer: Just as I remain unconvinced by what other people write. At least we can agree to disagree. No big deal. :o)
