Pelosi shows some balls!

[burythehatchet]

Debating the sham lobbying reform bill. Frier has been interrupting every DEm speaker. Pelosi is speaking and Drier asks her to yield. She says "I wouldn't even dream of yielding to you". NO YOU DI'INT.

1. PRESIDENT PELOSI 2007!!

[rodeodance]

18. not bad sounding

[madokie]

35. I like the sound of that, at least she can think on her feet so to say

and still looks might healthy at the ripe old age of 72, I read somewhere. The lady truly has our best interest at heart and thats all I want in a President.

[Shilohtd16]

2. pardon me

but it is ABOUT BLOODY TIME SHE DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT

[burythehatchet]

3. I agree

I've never been a big fan of Nancy but this smackdown felt really good. (I can't stand Dreier!)

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. Better late than never, I say!

[MADem]

4. Boxes? Containers? Drawers????

I suspect you mean COJONES...!!!!

[helderheid]

5. Given her sex, I'd say ovaries!

[Shilohtd16]

6. mano'

nitpicking over spelling is really not worth it senor

[MADem]

10. I don't normally, but there's a huge difference between the meaning

of the two words....

[Shilohtd16]

20. I'll give you that

no harm, no foul

[burythehatchet]

7. Changed it to be more accurate

:D

[incapsulated]

9. Did she have a sex change operation?

heh.

Good for her.

[burythehatchet]

11. WOW. I've never seen her get so charged up

Good for her.

[Road Scholar]

12. Ovaries, ya big dummie!!! She's shuckin' the corn!!! nt

[mondo joe]

13. "Lady balls. We call them Thatchers."

[Greybnk48]

27. Colbert's so funny

I was thinking about "Thatchers" too.

[rudy23]

33. For the record, "Huevos" is a Colbert term, as well. n/t

[AndyA]

14. And this is the way Dems need to act from this point forward!

At least, until some of these MAJOR issues are resolved appropriately. With elections coming, the Dems need to be screaming at the top of their lungs. America needs to get the message.

[burythehatchet]

15. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NADS PEOPLE!

Its about standing up to this bullshit reform bill.

[incapsulated]

16. We know

But you asked for it. :)

[helderheid]

17. PRESIDENT PELOSI 2007!! PRESIDENT GORE 2008!!

:)

[burythehatchet]

21. I like how you think!

:thumbsup:

[ronnykmarshall]

28. That's kinda interesting.

Nancy would serve out *'s term and then return to the congress. Al takes over what was stolen from him in 2009.

[rudy23]

19. "Huevos" n/t

[Captain Hilts]

22. Ovaries would work better.

Women don't need 'balls' to show moral strength.

[MIKEFORCONGRESS]

23. Help us defeat Rick Renzi

Please support a true Progressive Democrat who is calling for withdrawal from Iraq, national health care, an increase in the minimum wage and will move to investigate the lies that got us into Iraq in the first place and subsequent impeachment proceedings against George Bush. We need to elect Democrats with backbone! Please go to MikeCforCongress and make as generous a contribution as possible. Renzi has the corrupt Republican money machine behind him and we really need your help.

Many thanks

Mike Caccioppoli

29. Pelosi to Dreier: 'I wouldn't even think of yielding to you'

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Pelosi_to_Dreier_I_wouldnt_even_0427.html

Pelosi: ...As house democratic leader, I would have hoped that we could have worked together and the leadership of this House of Representatives to put forth something that truly threw up the windows, pulled back the shades, let in the fresh air.

Dreier: Will the gentlelady yield?

Pelosi: .. to let in the fresh air.

Dreier: yield?

Pelosi: But that didn't happen.

Dreier: Will the gentlewoman yield on that issue?

Pelosi: I wouldn't even think of yielding to you...

Dreier: Okay.

Pelosi: You have all the time in the world.

31. aww I turned on the Young Turks and missed it...

damn..

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. Pelosi Has Shown Some Balls In The Past Too. I Wish She Had Balls Like

that every day. I'll never forget the refinery bill when she stood up with balls as big as I've seen, and they all chanted "Shame, Shame, Shame..."

Even now it gives me chills. But that line today was good too. I wish her and the other dems would speak out in that ballsy of a fashion far more frequently, and in this election year hope to hell they start ramping it up like that.

I like Pelosi, and love when she shows some balls like that. Reid too. We need both of em to take shit no more.
