If she keeps talking, the American public won't have to remove her from power, the Democrats in Washington will have already done it. She has alienated so many of her own party that I can't see her lasting for two years.

Going to slightly disagree here. Well, not so much as disagree as say it doesn't really matter.

Arrogance and obnoxiousness are traits of politicians as is love of power. We should not be surprised.

An expression of phony humility, to me, is worse than being honest about their obnoxious, power hungry ways.

The comments above apply to politicans regardless of party affiliation.

Faith+1:

Your comment is well taken. However, where as most politicians are smart enough to conceal those traits, Nancy Pelosi is standing on a soap box screaming them to the world. There is a reason that most politicians use the "expression of phony humility" route. It at least keeps them from looking realy stupid. Pelosi's mouth is starting to set her up as thinking she is "Queen of America", and about to disband parliment.

"Pride goeth before a fall, and a haughty spirit before destruction."

Third in line?

So if some one shot HER, Bush would still be President, right?

LJD:

Now thats funny!

In all fairness, it is a major milestone having a female Speaker. Sure, I could do without the muscle-flexing, but as Faith+1 suggested above, I'd prefer that over phony humility any day.

All politicians want power; some are just better at masking it.

Gee, I guess Nancy Pelosi meant it when she said this would be a really "open" congress. She's already "openly" stating that she's a power hungry obsessed woman. That didn't take long.

P.S. It's even more fun to see them fall, stumble and humiliate themselves when they are so openly arrogant. These next two years should be a hoot.

Kim ,
Wow - Everyday , you are obnoxious and arrogant and it seems to be allright with most or your readers.
Between you and Lori , I am not sure who is less informed . If this was a republican woman ( I know that is a stretch ) Where would you find a capable woman in your party, you would be peeing yourself.
Keep electing retards like george and keep crying .
If you want women to lead , you must join the Democratic Party . A women will NEVER lead in your party, EVER. Kind of sad , but true .
Rebublican women are FOLLOWERS - They listen to the man leaders , sad , sad , sad .

Only on this sad deluded web site can "patriots" get on line and suggest that pelosi be shot -thanks LJD

Third in line?

So if some one shot HER, Bush would still be President, right?

or talk about ignorance or arragnace with the comment from Wethal

Unless that moron was talking about war criminal and chief George Bush and his cabal.

Feel the Hate

Ignorance is strength

Well, this is all part of politics as i mentioned in my previous post, politics keep changing everytime ans each time the scenario is completely different.

LJD, USMC Pilot, joking about the assasination of the speaker of the house is never funny. I have forwarded this thread to the FBI, we can let them decide.

marty arrowsmith:

You give us a short rant about "sad deluded web sites" and "ignorance or arragnace", and then you give us:

"Unless that moron was talking about war criminal and chief George Bush and his cabal."

Any chance that you could recognize the hypocricy of your post?

A "drunk" pelosi and old man reid have still got to be better than a "leadership" that inluded moron man DR bill Frist who lamely thought he saw cognition in Schiavo. Even more frightening is that he saw cognition in Bush. What about the pedophile Foley. There is a champion for the working man for you. Ofcourse, these are "men" who support torture, disregard for habeus corpus, the support of an immoral and illegal war that has cost thousands of lives and our children's wealth.

Too bad I just can't remember that hypocrite's name who was the spritual adviser for Bush by day and gay meth addict by night.

And you think Pelosi is a danger to America

Wake Up

Reality:

Thanks. I Have a long list of "moonbat" comments from the left at this site, talking about the posibilty of the death of the president, that I have been wanting to talk with them about.

Keep on "misunderestimating" her just like you did in November.

Tsk tsk USMC. Two wrongs make a right? I'm surprised at a man your age.

And the demacrats want to strat taxing and spending as soon as they can get the grubby mitts on our tax money for every pork project they can dream up

spurwing:

Yup, lust like the trillion dollars soon to be spent policing a civil war in Iraq. Who spent that?

Hugh:

No one is "underestimating" (mis ?) her. The point is, if she continues to make herself the news, and not her agenda, she will not last long. Yes, there is an "old boy" network in the Republican party, but there is one in the Democratic party also, and if she steps on enough toes, it will remove her from the leadership.

Anyone who posts that they are referring someone to the FBI over a obvious joke is beneath contempt. My comment was ment to illustrate just how much I considered it that way.

I did NOT proppose that the Speaker should be shot, nor did I condone it.

I merely asked a question.

You took the bait, so take it for what you will, but it IS damn funny.

BTW I am more offended by the Washington times noting that she is third inline- as if you only have to kill two people to have a female President.

See how this works both ways?

Why is it that when people do not have a cogent argument to make, or a valid criticism, they automatically turn to the "humility card"?

It seems to me that there are two types of humility. There is the equalitarian or leveling humility of those who think that no one should be in a position of power over them; and, so, they try to pull down anyone who has an ounce of confidence or assertiveness in our society. This is the attempt to establish a general false humility so that everyone will feel better.

Of course, respect and civility are different than humility. I personally think most people deserve respect and civility--that is until they lose it through their own actions. This is not, however, humility.

The second type of humility, which is true humility, is the kind that recognizes that there are others who are better at certain things than we are, or more worthy of respect and admiration than we are.

If you believe in God, then you should of necessity be humble before God since he/she is after all the all-knowing, all-powerful being of the universe. That does not mean that you owe humility to your fellow man--at least not until he/she has earned it.

So, let's stop all this talk of humility and instead demand that Pelosi and her party live up to the promises they have made. When they fail, as all politicians do when they abandon negotiation and compromise, there will be plenty of humble pie for everyone.

This is not a big deal, not only for the reasons previously mentioned, but also because the MSM has her back. I suspect that in next two years, there will be a number of stories like this, and the more conservatives huff and puff and get red in the face over them, the more they will be ignored by the MSM.

Of course, if this were Newt Gingrich or any other Republican Speaker, stories like this would be getting above-the-fold coverage all day, every day, 24/7.

The only remedy is defeating the Democrats electorally, but it remains to be seen whether the GOP will get its act together enough to make this happen. Personally, I'm not hopeful.

Nancy Pelosi's stint as House Speaker will (mercifully) be a brief one. First of all, she reckons without the U.S. Senate at her peril. She and her arrogant minions can blather all they want, but the bottom line is that anything they pass then has to go to the Senate where the majority is only 1 and Senator Joe Lieberman is definitely the wild card in THAT equation. So they can waste their first 100 hours passing whateverinhell they want - the chances of it getting by the Senate are slender at best. And the failure of their feverish agenda will make them look as ridiculous as their behavior already does.

Second, should Speaker Pelosi show signs of harming La Clinton's presidential campaign, she will be summarily dealt with as only Hillary Rodham Clinton and her cabal can do!

Third - by the end of the 2 year Democratic House majority - the American people will be so disgusted with the Dems if they continue their present behavior that they will reverse the majority in record time. Do they honestly think that permitting that humbug Charlie Rangel to evict the Vice President of the United States from his office is calculated to endear them to any but the most deranged among them?

""All right, let's hear it for the power", shouted Pelosi.

Anyone else note a little irony that a former 'child of the 60's' (aka hippie) is shouting this ? I guess tyranny is only bad when it's not her brand.

USMC

I don't for a minute think you underestimate her. That comment was addressed to those who like to just mock her and have nothing substantive to say.

The other comment was just to prod you about your age. i got your point in your post.

I know there are legions of NY Times haters here, but there is a really good op-ed by David Brooks which is about wealth and power. He's a good conservative columnist whom I respect and like to read. Check it out. It's also a little humorous.

H

As the masterful Speaker Pelosi (dem/San Francisco) assumes her role as most powerful woman in history, evil-doers the world over quake in their boots.

What hath the voters wrought?

Hugh: Please post a link to that piece by David Brooks; sounds interesting.

Hugh,

Good to see you're still hanging with us...Who's really suprised by Speaker Pelosi's actions or attitudes...She really believes that America voted for her as speaker of the house...I'd like to point out that we don't hate the NYT...Okay not all of us do...Conservatives aren't monolithic (please forgive spelling)...That's a liberal fallacy my friend (or is it fantasy)...And we don't consider David Brooks a "really good conservative op-ed columnist"...He's okay and most likely a bit right of center, but calling the man conservative is a stretch...Happy New Year!

To quote the esteemed Chairman of the Democratic Party, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHH!" I hope the public reaction to her comments is the same as the reaction to Howard Dean.

Yo, Adrienne! You don't despise the NYT, but I certainly do. I wouldn't wrap fish guts with that rag. Not because I'm a Republican, but because it's a biased, dishonest and overbearing newspaper. I'll bet there might even be a few Democrats who feel the same way, somewhere...

Lying, cheating, stealing, illegal immigrant hiring, botox dependent Socialist C---!

San Fran Nan: Because nothing, and I mean NOTHING says good ol' All American Values like San Francisco. Those voters out there really know what makes the rest of America tick. Our local elementary school has weekly gay, bi, lesbian and transgender awareness parades--doen't everybody's?

Way to ingratitate yourself with the masses, Nancy.

But what's really funny is that for all the Dem kavetching about Bush's "power grabs" or him being power hungry or drunk on power, Nancy flatout says she's "the most powerful woman in America".

Final thought: I bet Oprah takes issue with Nancy's claim! LOL

We all need to remember one thing.... the voters gave the majority power to the Democrats. That means that the neocon bloggers on Wizbang did not agree with the majority of voters in this past election

That's right, the voters did that. They said no more Republican control of the houses. And in 2008 they will speak again.

I suggest you keep putting McCain out in front. That ought to seal your fate.

Go Nancy, you go girl........

Respectfully disagree. I've seen no great evidence that politicians of any sort keep themselves from looking really stupid. I think they succeed in looking really stupid a good bit of the time.
