Drudge's full-on assault of Nancy Pelosi continues
The RW modus operandi is now to attack Nancy Pelosi at every turn. She is the new "female boogeyman" for the GOP (think Hillary in the early 90's). Makes me sick. To me, it smacks of misogyny. The GOP has a real problem with women in general I think.

HURRY, FELLAS, LET'S VOTE, I AM OFF TO ROME!
Fri Feb 13 2009 09:18:52 ET

Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!

Culberson made the charge on Houston's KSEV radio.

Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there's a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.

Calls to Pelosi's spokesman went unreturned.

In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted that none of his Senate colleagues would 'have the chance' to read the entire final version of the 1,071-page bill before it comes up for a final vote.

4. Agreed. We shouldn't help the "Taliban party" villify her.

She made some realy great remarks about President Obama following the house vote. Steny did too. It was really nice, and a big fuck you to the Taliban party.

12. Pelosi-bashing is another Repug plot -- I agree
They have been at her from the first minute she got in power.

Just remember, she only has had real power since Obama became president -- before that, Bush would trump and de-gut anything she could guide through the House with his "signing statements" ...

And now you are seeing what she can finally start to accomplish.

I do hate to see Dems not give her an opportunity to see what she can do.

10. Drudge & his fellow Republicans have a hatred of Pelosi that far exceeds her influence on the Hill
It's kind of disturbing.
