Democrats Say C.I.A. Deceived Congress

So, where's the investigation?

7/9/2009 6:19:45 PM

how about, at the least, an apology or acknowledgement that Pelosi (as much as most people don't like her, including democrats) may have been onto something a couple months ago when she claimed that the CIA wasn't exactly honest with Congress.

^ Fuck no.

Quote :

"During the second half of the Bush administration, CIA officials did not consult with the administration about the program or take orders from Cheney to keep it secret, according to former agency officials who held senior posts at the time. 'We never briefed the vice president, the president or the Cabinet,' said a former senior intelligence official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the program remains highly secret. He said the program remained in the planning stages and never crossed the agency's threshold for reporting to the administration and congressional overseers."

We can't have one of our clandestine services keeping an inactive secret program. . .um. . .secret? Really?! Well, goddammit!

And do any of you remember--of course you don't, how silly of me--when this douche. . .

Pelosi: We Have The Votes To Pass Health Care Reform

http://talkradionews.com/2009/07/pelosi-we-have-the-votes-to-pass-health-care-reform/

Deadline push dropped after health momentum fizzles

Quote :

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) dropped her position that the public wants lawmakers to work into the August recess to finish the bill, and brushed off the concerns of many Democrats that leaving town would give the bill's opponents more time to rally opposition. 'I'm not afraid of August,' Pelosi said. 'It's a month.'"

Pelosi falls to the back of the pack of speakers

Quote :

"On Sunday, Pelosi made a pledge to pass health care legislation before the August recess that begins this week. On Monday she changed that deadline to 'whenever.' When told by Politico that she had sunk to a 25 percent approval rating, Pelosi said, 'I don’t care.' But that seems rather unlikely for a person who seeks so much attention. Plus, she knows her unpopularity in the districts of moderate Democrats reduces her power as speaker."

Quote :

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains America’s best-known – and least-liked - congressional leader, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of U.S. voters have an unfavorable view of the Democratic congresswoman from San Francisco, and 35% view her favorably. But those who have a very unfavorable opinion of Pelosi overwhelm those who regard her very favorably - by a five-to-one margin - 45% to nine percent (9%)."

Nancy and Charlie: A Love Story
Sep 2nd, 2009

Quote :

"Now we have the answer to yesterday's question. What does Nancy Pelosi plan to do about Charlie Rangel and his curiously poor memory when it comes to matters of finance? Not a whole lot. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will let Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) keep his chairmanship despite his failing to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets on federal disclosure forms, according to Democratic aides. 'The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee's latest misstep has received strong media scrutiny and prompted good-government watchdog groups to call for a special counsel investigation. Pelosi's main complaint is that she doesn't want to convict the man before he's had a chance for a full investigation, based only on media reports, and there is certainly some merit to that sentiment. Anyone can make accusations against a public official. But we're not talking about a couple of anonymous bloggers calling Rangel a skank here. There certainly seems to be more than enough information to cast a cloud on credibility. Rangel doesn't have to resign, but much like the case of Dollar Bill Jefferson, Pelosi could have at least applied pressure to have him step aside from Ways and Means. Most Ethical Congress Evah!"

Approval of U.S. Congress Falls to 21%, Driven by Democrats
Lowest rating for Congress since January

Quote :

"Of note is the steep decline in approval among Democrats, who appear to be souring on the job Congress is doing despite the fact that their party controls both the House and the Senate. For the first time since February, Democrats' approval of the job Congress is doing is below 50% -- with only slightly more than a third of Democrats now approving."

Speaker Pelosi to shield vulnerable members from controversial votes
By Jared Allen - 12/16/09

Quote :

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has privately told her politically vulnerable Democratic members that they will not vote on controversial bills in 2010 unless the Senate acts first. After a year of bruising legislative victories that some political analysts believe have done more to jeopardize her majority than to entrench it, Pelosi is shifting gears for the 2010 election."

Quote :

"'The Speaker has told members in meetings that we've done our jobs,' a Democratic leadership aide said. 'And that next year the Senate's going to have to prove what it can accomplish before we go sticking our necks out any further.'"

Quote :

"'There's not going to be a ton of stuff legislatively next year either way,' a House leadership aide said. 'But on EFCA — even though the House has demonstrated its ability to pass it — and on Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the Senate is definitely going to have to act first.'"

Quote :

"Some liberals are concerned that there will be fewer Democrats after the 2010 elections and that the White House should ramp up, not slow down, its agenda. They have also made the case that President Barack Obama and congressional leaders must move left to ensure that the Democrats' base will show up next November, and argument immigration reform proponents have been making with increased intensity in recent weeks."

Quote :

"Obama and Reid have vowed to pursue immigration reform in 2010."

Pelosi jabs Gibbs again
July 15, 2010

Quote :

" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took another jab at White House press secretary Robert Gibbs on Thursday in a fundraising e-mail sent to Democratic supporters. Pelosi and Gibbs are at odds over the White House spokesman's comment on 'Meet the Press' that Republicans would likely take back control of the House this fall."

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/39800.html

Perhaps Pelosi and I can find common ground here. She probably wouldn't go as far as me, but I believe that Gibbs could be the worst WH press secretary in history.
