Dear Nancy Pelosi...

[hondo]

Nice start Grandma. John Murtha as majority leader? It's only been a few days and just by going to Google, people have found more baggage on him than a Delta carousel. I googled it, and found an article about a decidedly left-wing think tank aghast that you're even thinking about letting Murtha anywhere near the majority leader's job.

Steny Hoyer is the safe bet. He's never been caught up in a corruption scandal. By the way, I don't want to hear about Republicans and Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff. You got control of both houses because you ran against that kind of sleaze, and now you're going to turn around and push for a guy who steered millions of dollars worth of defense contracts to his brother? Jeez, it only took you a week to **** that victory up.

By the way, gotta love Murtha complain that he's being "swift-boated." Yo, John ... it's other Democrats doing it to you this time. You think Republicans care if you're the majority leader or not?

Nancy, baby, you're also forcing Dems to fight each other, which they're very good at. You people shoot yourselves in the foot so often it's a miracle you're all not in wheelchairs.

Have fun. The new Congress won't be in session until Jan. 3 and your leadership skills are already proving to be as dismal at Donald Rumsfeld.

hondo,

That's gotta hurt to be blasting the Dems by saying they are as bad as the Republicans.

You think she is going with Murtha because he is the best choice? He's probably got pictures of her or something. That's politics, man.

If he's got naked pictures of her, who's going to want to see them?

 

[hondo]

By the way, why does John Murtha always have to look like he's bit into a **** sandwich? I've never, never seen a picture of him smiling.

John, two words: prune juice.

Not Mark Foley. That's for sure.

Like I said on the mile high club thread: you're too funny to be a lib.

I was a conservative before I was a lib.

I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. As Winston Churchill said: "If you're 20 years old and not liberal, you don't have a heart. If you 40 and not conservative, you don't have a brain."

 

[cranberry]

Hey, easy on Nancy. Based on SportsJournalists.com's "exuberance" for Arianna Huffington and Barbara Walters the past couple days, Pelosi might be a favorite here, too.

 

[hondo]

She's their Katherine Harris.

I think what he really meant that if you are 40 and not conservative, you don't have any money.

 

[sportschick]

She's their Katherine Harris.

Only with real boobs.

 

[D-Backs Hack]

Pelosi's publicly backing Murtha was boneheaded, and I cringed when she promised "the most ethical Congress in history" on election night. Those words always come back to bite you in the ass, and favoring Murtha, Mr. Abscam, was as big of a mistake right off the bat. And if Pelosi pushes Jane Harman aside for Alcee Hastings to lead the House Intelligence Committee, she'll compound the problem.

If Murtha and Hastings were to be kept on a short leash and avoid repeats of their past shenanigans, things will be OK. But I don't have that much faith in the virtue of today's Capitol Hill inhabitants, regardless of their political persuasion.

You're right on this one, hondo, but please, spare us the lectures on governing from the side of the aisle that made a mockery of the process for the last six years.

And while we're on the subject of leadership appointments . . .

To be fair to Katherine Harris, it's not like fake boobs are gonna get you elected in San Francisco.

Too DAMN funny.

The rats are already stinking up the ship.

Two more years! Two more years!

In the words of John Kerry:

"Help is on the way"

Right, Johnny boy. Liberals invented gridlock.

Carry on.

You said that with confidence. Care to tell us how you know?

No comment ;)

OK. "Mr Abscam"?
Shouldn't somebody who actually took the money and went to prison for it get that title?
Murtha, whatever his Google results, was right, early, on the only damn issue that decided the election. Nancy Pelosi, whatever happens, is not going to have a K Street project demanding that people fire their Republican lobbyists, or Jack Abramoff writing energy policy.
Clues should be purchased quickly.

 

[Point of Order]

Dear Hondo,
Americans made me Speaker of the House because the administration you support and the congress you supported engineered the most corrupt, grossly inept, do-nothing government in the history of this great nation. And that's before we even mention the failed policy in Iraq.
Forgive me for thinking you might not have my best interests at heart in conveying your advice. Under my leadership we will provide oversight to this president, who has been sorely lacking it over the past six years. Thanks for your interest in the make-up of the Democratic Party.

Yours Truly,


Nancy Pelosi
