Nancy Pelosi – Stand Up Comic

While making a trek around the web I ran into a couple well chosen words that I decided to share with you this Sunday. I hope you find them as humorous as I do.

From the Idaho Mt. Express about Nancy Pelosi:

…she’s been a perpetual no-show, scarce as hen’s teeth when President Bush and Vice President Cheney and their acolytes ran roughshod over the Constitution and blew off empty Democratic complaints. Pelosi decided if she played nice with Bush, and promised he need not worry about impeachment, he and the Republican minority would return the favor. Instead, Bush implemented ruthless policies—torture of detainees, illegal wiretaps, corruption of the Justice department—while Pelosi dropped out of sight.

From the Free Press and Time Magazine:

I think the Republicans would like nothing better than for us to focus on impeachment and take our eye off the ball of a progressive economic agenda.

From Town Hall:

Pelosi reacted to GOP presidential candidate John McCain’s calls for Congress to return to session to pass offshore drilling legislation in a separate statement released by her office the same day as her letter to Boehner.

She criticized McCain for being “absent from the Senate during critical votes to cut subsidies for Big Oil” and said Democrats “will continue to demand that the President release oil from our nation’s stockpile to provide immediate relief in 10 days, unlike the McCain-Republican-Big Oil plan that lowers prices at the pump by 2 cents in 10 years.

From Reuters:

When the next U.S. president moves into the White House on Jan. 20, 2009, he shouldn’t be surprised to get a call from Nancy Pelosi on Capitol Hill with a list of legislative demands.

End the (Iraq) war, expand health care, create jobs through innovation, rebuild infrastructure and ensure our energy independence." In that order.

Pelosi says "we need trillions" in new money to invest in rebuilding roads, bridges, sewers and other disintegrating public works. But she is quick to say it should not be financed by the "central treasury" and she is considering a novel idea: creating a public-private "infrastructure development bank.

Although people are desperate and want a reduced price, this (drilling) isn’t going to make this happen, no matter how unpopular it may be to hold that position. Nonetheless it is the right thing to do.

I find it interesting that Nancy made some interesting stock purchases in 2007.

• Clean Energy Fuels Corp 5-25-07 $50,001-$100,000

If you can’t find the humor in the above information I apologize, but I find her actions and words comedic. But perhaps having read “The Peter Principle” by Laurence J. Peter enables me to put any story about Nancy in proper perspective.
