On Fox News Sunday today, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that she had not been briefed on secret Justice Department memos from 2005 that expanded the interrogation techniques that the CIA can use.

1. The last two videos I've seen of Pelosi she just seems so defensive and timid.

Where's the strength she showed before?

Can you imagine Helen Thomas or Madeline Albright responding to that question? Chris Wallace - DOA

6. Of course, it's hard to compare Madaline Albright or Helen Thomas to Pelosi-

... At least Helen Thomas is an honorable woman in a profession filled with dishonor.

Pelosi seems like she giving a salute to CFR Sundays with king of the dip shits, Chris Wallace. She's pretty tight and calculated.

I wish there was something I could find respectable about the game they're playing, but I don't find a Godamned thing.

2. Still trying to figure out how she became Speaker. nt

3. Head slapping?????

WTF?!?!?

NO, Mr. Son-Of-Mike Wallace! The memo said they could do anything they wanted to these prisoners AS LONG AS THEY DIDN'T DIE!!!

Head slapping? :argh:

like this? :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

4. WHAT???!!!

They just didn't HAND over the torture memos to Nancy? NO ONE could have predicted THAT!

Nancy: Here's a clue: You're supposed to be leading... something, somehwere. You're still waiting for them to volunteer things and then trying to use this lame excuse, again?

Good God, woman.

5. screw you pelosi you scumbag

7. Why is it so hard for her to simply say "NO!"?

Either she was briefed about waterboarding being approved or she wasn't. This doesn't take a lot of memory searching.

The fact she can't give a straight answer tells me she WAS briefed about it and didn't do anything.

[bjobotts]

8. She truly does not know how to answer questions.

Wallace virtually had to talk her answer out of her. Briefed about the secret memos or not..."Well I'd have to see.."
Which means no. how she ever got to be Speaker is beyond me. She has accomplished so little and is more of an obstructionist than anything else, refusing to do what is necessary to bring a halt to the Bush regime. Just as in her other videos she seems flakey and distracted, aloof in never-never land. Why is she on Faux News anyway? Isn't that where the kool aid is batched up?

9. MS. PELOSI, I'm begging you

stay the hell off talk shows. :thumbsdown:

[King Coal]

10. She has been threatened.

[bdamomma]

12. I wouldn't put it pass these thugs to do it either, her whole

demeanor has changed.

[petepillow]

13. No doubt about it.

Just like everyone else who does an about-face in Congress lately. It's so damn obvious that all these people are selling their souls to avoid personal catastrophe. Imagine what they had on Lieberman or McCain, pictures of them with cocaine and hookers? Who knows, but definitely something to make them blanche, regroup, get down and tow "the line".

Perhaps the admin could call it their WPD (Weapons of Personal Destruction) program...

[bdamomma]

11. I don't know but I have a feeling that she is being "leaned" on.

something is definitely going on with her.

14. Stammering and swallowing hard.

From the start, when she said impeachment was off the table, did not understand how serious this situation was. She's been real disappointment - what she says and how she votes.
