US Congress leader Pelosi calls Bush 'a total failure'
21 minutes ago


WASHINGTON (AFP) - US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday called President George W. Bush "a total failure" who "has no ideas," in an interview with CNN.

Responding to stinging criticism from Bush on the Democratic leadership in both houses of Congress and the slow pace of the legislative agenda, as Congress prepares for its one-month summer recess in August, Pelosi let loose:

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, the president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject."

Pelosi, 68, said the House and Senate were busy "trying to sweep up after (Bush's) mess over and over and over again ... The president knows it. He needs something to talk about. Because he has no ideas."

1. Pot, meet kettle.

[Atman]

2. Takes one to know one, eh, Nancy?

Piss off, you traitor.

.

[Larkspur]

3. And Nancy, can you explain why your poll numbers are lower than Bush's?

Nancy, your failed leadership in Congress has allowed Bush to get away with crimes that our Founders would have immediately prosecuted. You and your cohorts deserver the Profile in Cowardice Award.

[indepat]

7. May I say Amen, second your thesis, and proclaim Madame Speaker should be voted public

enemy #1 unless she can show compelling, incontrovertible reason/proof that her solemn duty was to take impeachment off the table rather than to impeach. :D

[tridim]

13. I understand what you're getting at, but Pelosi's personal approval rating is not lower than Bush.

Last I heard it was above 50%.

Congress as a whole (including the Republicans) is lower than Bush's approval rating.

[Larkspur]

17. Yeah, I was referring to the latest poll numbers on Congress

which had them at around 17%. That poll reflects more on the leadership of Congress than individual Congresscritters.

[madeline_con]

4. Did she mention impeachment?

Thought not.

[NightWatcher]

5. and she does jack shit about it, way to go Nanc

[rucky]

6. Two of the most powerful people in the country...

and all they can do is point fingers at each other. Pathetic.

[LeftishBrit]

8. She is right there!

[rateyes]

9. Nancy, he isn't a total failure...

that will only happen if YOU MOVE TO IMPEACH THE BASTARD!

Trying to clean up his messes? How about making sure he doesn't make any more, instead of allowing shit like telecom immunity and war funding bills through?

:banghead:

[IDemo]

10. "trying to sweep up after (Bush's) mess"

Sweeping up appears to be off the table, from what I've seen.

[leftchick]

11. was she looking in the mirror when she said FAILURE?

what a fucking ego. Yes, SF, keep voting for the war enabler pelosi. :puke:

[Vincardog]

12. Nancy, why is he still in power? Why have you failed to do your duty and remove this cancer?

[Greyhound]

14. and she is an enabler, even a supporter, of these failures.

So which is it? Either he is the utter failure we know, and predicted, him to be, and she is an accomplice, or he is on the right track and is simply misunderstood.

[spanone]

15. did she just realize this? we've known this since the beginning nancy

[tanyev]

16. Here's an idea, Nancy.

A president who is a total failure should be impeached.

[barbtries]

18. so get rid of him

because he does too have ideas, and none of them are good.

[Hannah Bell]

19. Bush succeeded in doing what he wanted. Pelosi failed to stop him.

[JoePhilly]

20. She went out on a real limb there ...

Better use my safe word ... Palomino!!

:scared:

[Kansas Wyatt]

21. When has Pelosi ever stood up to Bush?

And when has she ever told Bush that 'his way' is NO longer acceptable to the American People?

Hey Nancy, stop cleaning up after him (sweeping all his crimes under the rug) and shut him down. It sure is funny that Republicans have no problem with crawling up a Democratic Administration's ass with a microscope, when they control Congress. Yet the Democratic Congress cannot even think about slowing down BushCo, Inc. and is happy to clean up his messes instead. Well, isn't that nice.

[ooglymoogly]

22. And Nancy sweetheart, God bless your heart...

why is impeachment off the table? This dangerous failure who has lied us into a reckless and obscenely expensive war, has his finger on the nuclear button for gods sake? Have you totally taken leave of your senses? Perhaps you too need to be impeached for treason.

[Canuckistanian]

23. That's a pretty half-assed "sweeping job" there, Nancy

Now, go back and do it properly.

Or you're fired.

[Dukkha]

24. takes one to know one.

so no more beers with your pal? the loving man?

[bdamomma]

25. oh Nancy too little too late.

Nancy you are a big disappointment when you held that gavel in your hand (Nov. 2006) and held it high I thought you would of used it on *'s head, but you coiled like a snake.

[BeHereNow]

26. Does she think she is telling America anything new?

While she sits on her ass while raking in OUR tax dollars
for her salary, not to mention making a fortune
off insider investments, as all the congress piggies
eating from the corporate trough have for years,

SHE has the NERVE to call a kettle black?

Fuck her and the broom she rides around on.

BHN

[earth mom]

27. Well, I'm glad she said it because it no doubt pissed the freepers off! ROFLMAO!

C'mon people let's rec this up to piss the freepers off! :evilgrin:
