Queen of the Dimmitude
While the Left has another fit over Sarah Palin's new-found popularity, let's have a review of inane quotes by their beloved House Speaker:
Nancy Pelosi, Queen of the Dimmitude and 3rd in line to the Presidency:
"We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'."
Uh, Madam Speaker, last time I checked, according to that "living, breathing document" called 'TheConstitution', ILLEGAL ALIENS AREN'T AMERICANS... but you want to tax 401k plans to support them, anyway.
Natural gas IS a fossil fuel. DOH!
Boy, our country is more densely populated than I thought!
"First Bush cut taxes for the rich and the economy has rebounded with new record low unemployment rates, which only means wealthy employers are getting even wealthier at the expense of the underpaid working class."
In other words, stimulating the economy and creating NON-gubmint jobs is a BAD thing, right Madam Speaker?
"It is a decision of the Supreme Court. So this is almost as if God has spoken."
Only better, right Madam Speaker?
"The war on terror is the war in Afghanistan"
Then why is it called the Afghanistan War?
"Congressman Murtha has enjoys an excellent reputation in the Congress on both sides of the aisle."
And I just saw pigs flying in formation.
On Abortion:
An "ardent, practicing Catholic" and she isn't even familiar with the Church's staunch pro-life stand?
On Universal Healthcare
"I think it is pretty clear that we want a strong public option in the legislation. Insurance companies full force carpet-bombing and shock and awe against the public option -- so much so that the American people doubt the plan or are uncertain about it, until you tell them what is in it."
You're right, Madam Speaker, when the American FINALLY learned what's in the bill, there was no more doubt... 80% of them now HATE it.
"I think they’re Astroturf… You be the judge. "They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare."
BULL... there weren't any people carrying swastikas. It was a bald-faced lie.
"The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, To minister to the needs of Gods creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us. On this Earth Day, and every day, let us pledge to our children, and our childrens children, that they will have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature."
THERE IS NO SUCH QUOTE in the Bible. The "ardent, practicing Catholic" needs to go back to Sunday School.
"The gavel of the speaker of the House is in the hands of special interests, and now it will be in the hands of America’s children."
Spoiled, stupid, elitist children, I might add.
"I don’t know about ‘trust’ — I think I’m trusted," she said. "I certainly want to be trusted. I’m not particularly concerned if I’m liked."
NEWS FLASH, Madam Speaker... people generally don't trust people they hate. Derrrrr.....
