CNN host asks: Are Democrats just 'complaining'?
Blitzer asked if Pelosi was simply "telling your angry base" that "there's nothing you can do" given Republican obstructionism.

"How could you have ever gotten that impression?" Pelosi lectured Blitzer, adding condescendingly "for those who pay attention" that she said Democrats will "hold this administration accountable, time and time again for the conduct of this war."

The CNN host persisted, "When you hold the president accountable, I want you to to explain, What does that mean besides just complaining and holding hearings?"

Pelosi pivoted to the importance of oversight and reiterated the Democrats' vision of "stability" in Iraq spurred by a troop withdrawal, while accusing Republicans of favoring a "10-year war" and aiming for a "Korea-like presence, in perpetuity."

1. She must think all of us are morons

Unfortunately, her assumption is more right than not.

2. Never thought Wolfie and I would have something in common

"Just complaining and holding hearings"

3. To borrow the name of a website, Pelosi is

"all hat and no cattle."

If she really intends to hold Bushco accountable for their actions, there's no time like the present to start doing it. Because what we've seen so far ain't doin' it.

Impeachment needs to be put on the table, Nancy.

5. I don't think she should be allowed to use the word "accountable"

since in her version there is no consequence.

I feel like Albert Brooks in "Lost in America" - "accountable" is akin to "nest egg".It must be stricken from her vocabulary.

I am more than disillusioned.

7. Was that supposed to be a news article or an editorial?

Reads like an editorial. And that's where it belongs
