Whatever, Nancy.

22. She's worried about the Governor.
With our federalist system, the governor is given most of the responsibilities during disasters like this.

The governor calls up the national guard among other things.

She waited until Wednesday to do that. :(

and she said the NG was not available....they can't blame the Governor and the Mayor - what is their freaking excuse in MS - I understand there is no food and water there either - did Hailey fuck up in MS....this is the Bush administrations fault period

2. Well, she is saying if people think this is a success, we've lowered our

standards.

She should be saying "THIS ADMIN. IS INCOMPETENCE"

Pelosi says things aren't as bad as they look on television in NOLA.

I'm going back to bed. Where is our FUCKING Democratic leadership?

25. Dodging their duty like our military planners who said "yessir" to oil war
Politicing now is CRUCIAL for the sake of the nation. We have a one party government.

4. You have got to be kidding me--this was her moment on camera
on the floor? Are we doomed, or what? The only use of that time would be to call for impeachment and indictment. NOW! We have the country behind us today.

5. What would you call it, appeaser?
"Fine display of strong, steadfast leadership and a shining example of pro-active preparedness?"

Fuck off too, Nancy. Go up to Napa Valley and get drunk of few times. Then go up to Mendocino County and get stoned.

Stupid Bush appeasing Flag (yes, most democrats are flags, going in the direction of the wind).

NOW IS THE TIME TO ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. Failure of leadership sounds good to me.
So does incompetence, arrogance, careless, arrogance, and ignorance. I personally would throw in racism as well since if the citizens that were left behind were white they would have had help on Monday.

Step down right now if you are afraid to speak the truth. Step down. We don't need you. Step down and shut up.

15. Absolutely!
Please, p-l-e-a-s-e wake me up!! Is this a bad dream or what? I am really surprised. Is forgive and forget next? Or is this when we're supposed to turn the other cheek? BIG mistake Nancy.

11. Pelosi, please go back to whatever it is you were doing
You know not what you speak of.

Other people have been following this 24/7 since LAST WEEKEND and if the Mayor of New Orleans says the response is fucked up, then I am with him.

19. Turn in your resignation NOW, Ms. Pelosi
Used to like you, but all bets are off now, all contracts voided. It is a failure of leadership, and it's becoming clear that you're part of the leadership that's failing.

Just go away. Give the job to ANYONE who is willing to step up.

24. But what's the point in calling Dumbya a failed leader?
By tonight, the right wing spin meisters like Hannity and Ingram and the handmaidens like Tweety would have had the Demcratic party painted as "politicizing a tragedy", "undermining our leader in a time of disaster" and "a hinderance to progress".

Folks, you can't win with these assholes.

31. What we really need is for Democrats to STEP UP.....
....and start taking matters into their own hands. Let's REALLY embarass this failed president even more by having our congressional and senate leaders start doing something instead of just making speeches that will be twisted and/or dismissed by the media whores anyway.

27. Well, what would it take, Nancy?
Bush personally blowing up the levees? Parachuting the twins into the city to loot and shoot at rescue helicopters? If this isn't a failure of leadership, what would be?

With "leaders" like this, it's no wonder the other side can lie, cheat and steal so easily!

EDITED to add, this statement is an example of a failure of leadership from Nancy herself.
