#1 I loved some of the reader comments on this article:

"What a contrast between the Italian and British Prime Ministers. Berlusconi spends his time dreaming up creative ways of screwing teenagers. Cameron does the same to pensioners."

Pelosi feels no responsibility for budget deal

The former ~~gavel~~ Speaker said that no matter what happens she takes no responsibility for the deal that is supposed to cut about $38 billion from last years spending deal.

As is pretty evident House Democrats were not part of that agreement Id rather call it an agreement than a deal. I feel no ownership of that or any responsibility to it, said Pelosi.

When asked if there were enough Democrats to push the deal through if some Republicans voted against it, Pelosi responded, well see.

We have not whipped it. We have not encouraged one way or another. People are just making their own judgment about it, she said.

I dont want the Republicans to think that were not serious about keeping government open. Its very important. Theres a big price to pay for our country not to do that. And I think theyre more likely to vote for it if were having our concerns about it, Pelosi added.

When asked how she would vote personally, Pelosi merely said, Im studying it and I will make an evaluation.

#2 You have to be able to think in order to take responsibility for something. Pelosi's brain is BOTOX saturated.
