Pelosi: Losing Weiner's Seat Was 'Good Day'--Will Make Democrats 'Buckle Down'
2011-09-16
(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
...and, apparently, heavy crack usage.
(D.-Calif.) said on Wednesday that the Democrats' loss of the special election in New York's 9th Congressional District--which was formerly represented by Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner--was actually a "good day" because it made Democrats realize they needed to intensify their efforts to prevail in next year's elections.

"In terms of New York, yeah, that was a disappointment. We would have preferred to win," said Pelosi.
Since we have won there every year since 1923...
"It was a good day because it was something where other people realize we have to buckle down in order to win this," she said.
Let's hope she sees many more "good days".
"It does not alter our plan for taking back the House," she added.
Since no plan was going to work anyways...
I WANT MY AIRPLANE BACK!!!

#7  Maybe if they "buckle down" hard enough, they can squeeze out some of that shiat they're full of.

I pray they don't wake up to reality.

#4  GETTYSBURG,PA (July 3, 1863) -- General Robert E. Lee said that today was "a good day for the Army of Northern Virginia and the Confederate States of America," despite suffering heavy casualties in an attack across open ground earlier this afternoon. "General Pickett lost his division," Lee said, "and that was a disappointment. We would have preferred that they had not become casualties, but it made our surviving troops realize we have to buckle down in order to win this. It does not alter our plan for secession."
