Posts about Pelosi as of August 28, 2009

Kim Strassel has a good piece in today’s Wall Street Journal that paints CIA Director Leon Panetta as the fall guy in the Obama administration’s dilemma of trying to appease the blood lust of the nutty Left and the national intelligence requirements demanded of the CIA.President Barack Obama fought hard for the former California congressman during his uncertain February confirmation fight. That’s about the last thing the president has done for his spy chief.

…and the CIA:1. Given that you were aware of the conduct for which CIA interrogators are now being investigated and possibly prosecuted, and you at least tacitly approved of such conduct, will you ask President Obama to pardon the interrogators?2. Since you were aware of what the CIA interrogators were doing yet remained silent, are you at all complicit in their conduct?Speaker Pelosi, assuming that you reject the IG’s report (and Leon Panetta’s assertion that the CIA told congress the truth in 2002) please respond to the following:1.

Are Pelosi’s lies impeachable? By William Tate Nancy Pelosi is a liar. And not just the typical, sniveling, inside-the-Beltway-talking-head prevaricator, either.   Nancy Pelosi is a wide-eyed, stare-you-in-the-face, What-planet-are- you -from? liar.   Proof is provided in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal. Rather than just regurgitating Democrat talking points – -Why is it I always have the feeling that Rahm Emmanuel is barking questions into Chris Matthews IFB? — about recently released documents on the CIA’s use of enhanced interrogation techniques (EITs), the WSJ actually read the reports.

  Nancy Pelosi has managed to become so useless, it isn’t even worth talking about her but!  BUT!  We have to. Gateway Pundit: New Information Proves Pelosi Is Pathetic Liar Nancy Pelosi was reportedly told in February 2003 by her intelligence aide, Michael Sheehy, that waterboarding was used on CIA terror detainee Abu Zubaydah.  She later lied about it and said she did not know that the Al-Qaeda terrorists had been waterboarded.

Kimberley Strassel: In the game of political football that is today national security, spare a thought for CIA Director Leon Panetta. Quarterbacking is hard enough without getting sacked by your own team. President Barack Obama fought hard for the former California congressman during his uncertain February confirmation fight. That’s about the last thing the president has done for his spy chief. Quite the opposite: If the latest flap over CIA interrogations shows anything, it’s that Mr.

This from the leader of a Democratic caucus whose members are now referring to each other as “brain dead” and shills for the insurance industry.Distract, Nancy. Distract like the wind!House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is raising money for Democratic campaigns with an appeal to counter Republicans’ “outrageous smears” on healthcare.In a fundraising appeal sent out Thursday, Pelosi (D-Calif.) set a goal of raising $100,000 by the end of August, saying it would demonstrate public support for President

Between the blogs and MSM one might think that Christ had risen again, and once again been crucified. I’m not one of those people, not by a long shot. I call the shots as I see them when it comes down to the wire, and Ted Kennedy came down to the proverbial wire. Still, I wanted to do so in an honest and forthright manner. While still recognizing the man’s numerous faults. Once again, Mark Alexander beat me to the essay.

Paul Demko on the gang strike force scandal. It takes a biased local media to NOT lead with this story every day and in every newscast. For Minnesota this is much bigger news than Teddy’s passing. Much bigger, and vastly more significant. We’ve been engaged in a war on the underclass, and no one bothered to tell most of us about it, especially the so-called news media. – Freedom of religion? When do we get freedom from religion? And a big surprise : a gun-toting townhall protester turns out to be one of the gay-bashing pastor’s parishioners.

There is a pattern emerging in right wing discourse, but you can only follow along with about a dozen tabs, an eight ball and some of uncle Rush’s oxycontin and pot brownies to soften the rough edges.  First, the Wowie Lowry : Pity Leon Panetta. The CIA director counseled the Obama administration against releasing classified interrogation memos from the Bush years. And got ignored. Then, Nancy Pelosi said his agency lied to her about post-9/11 interrogations, and Democrats rushed to try to back her up.
