Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today after President Bush spoke at the White House this morning on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act:

“The President is misrepresenting the facts on our nation’s electronic surveillance capabilities. Last August, he insisted that Congress pass the Protect America Act; but this week, he refused to support an extension, which can only mean he knows our intelligence agencies will be able to do all the wiretapping they need to do to protect the nation. That surveillance can be undertaken under broad orders authorized under the PAA or under orders that can be obtained through the FISA court.

“The President knows the facts; if he did not want the PAA to expire this weekend, he should have supported an extension of it, as the overwhelming majority of House Democrats did on Wednesday. Having guaranteed the lapse of the August law, the President should now work in a cooperative way with Congress to pass a strong FISA modernization bill that protects our nation’s security and the Constitution.”

1. STP to Speaker Pelosi: just be blunt about it

Just tell the American people Bush is scaring the living shit out of the American people and Congress to intimidate us into signing away our Constitutional rights.

2. "The President is lying."

This is the truth that no one in Congress seems to be able to even whisper.

5. Wow. What a revelation...

After groveling, enabling and caving for years, first as a member of the house minority and then as (it's hard to write this word) speaker, Pelosi suddenly discovers that the Liar in Chief does, in fact, occasionally "misrepresent the facts." What's next? Despite nearly a decade of denial, Ms. Nancy is shown proof that Cheney gorges himself on live babies on the steps of the National Archive?

She has no shame. She should have resigned over a year ago.
