#1 Said the woman presiding over a Congress with approval ratings hovering around dead.

#2 I say whoever has the higher approval rating gets to do the criticizing. But that's just my opinion.

Word.

#3 she will block any vote to allow lifting the ban

Just let her keep talking. November is just a couple months away. I hope to god she holds out at least that long.

#5 And this total failure has let you, San Fran Nan, around by the nose on war funding, FISA, etc.

So where does that put you and your "We will get this done" do-nothing congress?

#6 But Pelosi's comments come as a new Gallup poll registers the lowest level of congressional approval among Americans in the polling organization's 30-year history of conducting that survey.

The House speaker said she doesn't consider those numbers a negative referendum on the Democrats in charge, saying she thinks they stem largely from Congress' failure to end the war in Iraq.

Sure, honey. You keep telling yourself that.
But it appears that not even CNN is buying your bullshit.

#7 Out of deference to the ladies that read and post here at RB, I'll not write the epithet that sprang to mind when I read the headline of this posting. Chalk it up to a rare instance of civility on my part.

#8 Pelosi has converted my lifelong Democratic mother to a registered Republican, wanting to know how we can impeach her! She gets so upset over her arrogant blather and the impact on poor Americans impeding viable legislation has that she can't sleep at night. Can I sue her if she has a heart attack?

#9 ... she's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living...

#10 US People: "Congress A Total Failure"

#11 Maybe you were busy stretching your face out like a NY times editorial page, but I believe you forgot something in this hunt for failure, YOU are IT Pelosi. The only reason this President has to deal with your partys screwups is because we like to switch parties constantly - not that you are better, just that you represent the ignorance of the populace and intellectual bulwark of this here roman empire.

It is only done to ensure history repeats itself. If there were no manual in how to treat talking monkeys like yourself, you would be cutting peoples heads off like the Mayans.

I have a simple warning for you miss hotel bride, forget your ideology, fix problems, and shut your damn mouth. You work for ME.
I have at my disposal too much power to listen to your nonsense at this time. OUR country is in trouble and you are sitting there with your oil investments up your ass. As well as $59 million capitol you plan to flee with after you screw the nation out of it's life blood.

I marked you miles away.
You are not a failure, you are an abomination to America. A total Abomination.
