Hastert: Pelosi won't hold on as speaker even if Dems keep majority
2010-10-24
Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi (D-Calif.) is unlikely to remain Speaker of the House even if Democrats hold onto their majority, her predecessor said Friday evening.

Former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) said it would be difficult for Pelosi to hang onto her gavel come next January.

"I think even if the Democrats win, which I don't think they'll win, I don't think Nancy Pelosi will be speaker," Hastert said during an appearance on Fox News.

#4  I don't believe this for a minute. They are cowardly curs, and if they retained the majority, it would provoke a nasty fight, so they would just roll over and keep her.

However, as minority leader, if the Dems lose, it would be a whole new ball of wax.

They would blame their electoral failings on her as a person, instead of their damned stupid ideas. And this, conservatives should not let them get away with again.

The millstone has to be put squarely on their stupid ideas, enough so that in future, if anyone so much as proposes them, they will be met with groans and cat calls of "you suck!"

#2  I am hoping that, after her soon-to-be demise, her name and image are expunged from all records and it be made illegal to mention her name on pain of death (or an extended visit by former Congressman Bawney Fwank). I'm sure there's room in the commerce clause for that somewhere ....
