Pelosi To Bush: Calm Down With The Threats.... Huffington Post

[catgirl]

At a press conference today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded to President Bush's threat to veto legislation that included a timetable to withdraw troops from Iraq in 2008. Pelosi urged the President to "Calm down with the threats, there's a new Congress in town." She went on to say, "we respect your constitutional role, we want you to respect ours."

1. Really, suppose the new Congress simply does not appropriate anything else?

Bush can veto this, but he cannot force Congress to give him anything else instead.

[grannylib]

24. And if he vetoes it, THEN who's denying funding for the troops? Not

Congress. Arrogant little pusbag.

2. Elections have consequences

and the repukes are slow to learn this lesson.

3. Bush has been behaving like a dervish. Pelosi is absolutely in her

place to say what she said.

I like the way she put it -- a lot -- and think her voice will prevail, not his.

6. Not like a dervish

a dervish must take responsibility for his actions, and all the consequences coming from those actions. Bush is anything but a dervish.

[saltpoint]

7. Refers to the spinning and spinning and spinning...

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. Ah,

then you mean a Semazin. That is the correct term for the dervishes of the Mevlevi Order who perform the Turn, or whirling ceremony. "Dervish" refers to a member of one of various Sufi orders, not just the Mevlevis. It is really difficult to be a dervish because it is true that they must be aware of the consequences of their actions--and the consequences of those consequences!

17. Actually, I just mean 'dervish,' as in spin.

[DrDan]

4. this was an EXCELLENT response

it just highlights junior's petuance

[mzmolly]

16. It sure was!

:toast:

[dweller]

5. spoken as she would to a child

as well she should.

i listened to part of the *moron's speech today, and he sounded like a child throwing a tantrum.

8. It is soooooo nice to hear someone speaking plain english...

and not engaging in reckless hyperbole all of the time.

[AndyA]

9. Everybody remember this when saying something you want Bush to understand:

Use small words.

Speak slowly.

Speak distinctly.

Go back over, and repeat what you say.

Give him back his pacifier when you're through.

Oh, and make sure his diapers are dry before you start, or he'll just be sittin' there in his urine wonderin' why somebody hasn't changed him...and he won't hear anything you've said.

:eyes:

[grannylib]

25. Wonder if anyone ever removed the silver spoon that was wedged up his

ass when he was born...maybe that's why he's so cranky.

[Golden Raisin]

10. It actually might be good if Bush

lost it and threw a fit or had an explosive temper tantrum on live TV.

[Cabcere]

22. You know what's pathetic, though?

Those 30% who still support him would probably consider a temper tantrum from the spoiled-brat-in-chief an awesome display of badass-ness. :eyes:

[grasswire]

12. Grandma's got a rolling pin, sonny

She knows how to deal with brats and their tantrums.

[Learn2Swim]

13. I love it. n/t

[indepat]

14. Who could ever question that W respects the constitutional role of this Congress and respects and

will work with its leadership for the good of this nation? Well, come to think of it, I for one, but we'll see for the proof will be in his pudding.

[Control-Z]

15. Perfect!

Nancy is amazing!

[AshevilleGuy]

18. I am more and more impressed by her.

And I should hope the public is as well!

[Cameron27]

19. His mother never told him not to be offensive

now Nancy's trying. ROFL

[icnorth]

20. Moma bear will not be pleased

that Nancy took Lil George out to the woodshed.:evilgrin:

[sutz12]

21. Gee, where's that shrill liberal bitch all the fundies were so afraid of?

:sarcasm: Or maybe not. :shrug:

[Cabcere]

23. Good for Speaker Pelosi!

It's about time somebody spoke to that out-of-control two-year-old who calls himself the president in a way even he can understand. Let's hope he listens...and that if he doesn't, then let's hope that Madame Speaker and Congress will (figuratively speaking) give him a good spanking and put him in time-out for a while. :D

[grannylib]

26. That's exactly how people need to speak to the little imbecile, and ALL

the unqualified, unelected scum that surround him.
But particularly the petulant, whiny little spoiled frat boy. That's how he acts: that's how he should be treated. He needs to be brought down more than a few pegs. He's too arrogant by half, but it's a child's arrogance - he's such a little, little man.
