| Pelosi: 'Wudn't me.' |
| 2010-11-13 |
| House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has the "overwhelming support" of fellow Democrats in her bid to become minority leader in the next Congress, and says she's not to blame for the Democrats' mid-term debacle. "We didn't lose the election because of me," Ms. Pelosi told National Public Radio in an interview that aired Friday morning. "Our members do not accept that." Instead, the California Democrat attributes the loss of at least 60 seats to high unemployment and "$100 million of outside, unidentified funding." "Any party that cannot turn (9.5% unemployment) into political gains should hang up the gloves," she said. |

| #10 I love how this clueless cow just created what is effectively the "Democratic Caucus Black Leader" position, so she wouldn't have a fight over Clyburn getting pushed back into the hoi polloi. Can't have that, you know. So now he gets to sit and twiddle his thumbs or whatever. Great move, Nan. |

| #9 "Our members do not accept that." Good - they don't accept reality and that cost them 65 seats this time. Keep going, and the GOP will be happy to take even more seats. |

| #7 Damn, Madame Lame Duck Speaker, that is not a flattering picture. Look's like the botox is starting to settle into a matronly turkey neck. |

| #6 You keep thinking that, sweet cakes. You staying will cost your party another 40 seats in 2012. |

| #4 So as Zero is now guaranteed a loss, who'll be the Republican President in 2012? |

| #3 and the utterly egregious James Clyburn getting an 'unnamed, undefined' #3 slot. Well they certainly can't forget their NAACP helpers now can they? |

| #2 ...And Fox is saying this morning that she's cut a deal which will leave her as House Minority Leader, with Steny Hoyer as #2, and the utterly egregious James Clyburn getting an 'unnamed, undefined' #3 slot. Pass the popcorn. Mike |

| #1 ...and again, our members understand, they made me a target because I’m effective, politically and policy-wise.” Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me! |
