I have to laugh about Nancy Pelosi's upcoming "conversation" here in New York

[closeupready]

Aside from hawking her new book, I'm not sure what she hopes to accomplish or what her agenda is. With Congressional approval ratings beneath even Bush's, will she take responsibility for Congress' poor performance? Probably not. :rofl:

1. Presumably she's going to talk about why she should continue

to be Speaker of the House.

I have some sympathy for Reid - Lieberman puts him in a very uncomfortable spot. Pelosi, on the other hand, is more problematic - she has a clear majority.

2. the ego of a congress critter must be hard to fit in a stretch limousine

3. Good one.

:D It's just so hard to take her seriously when she is so complicit with the GOP.

4. She has time to write a book?

So THAT'S why so much is off the table; she's protecting her self-promotion time.

5. I know, right? It just seems so ridiculous.

Even Hillary saved her memoirs for after she'd left the White House. Who takes time to write their memoirs while serving as a public official? And then has the AUDACITY TO SELF-PROMOTE, while we have all these disastrous things going on in the country? :mad:

6. We're certainly agreed on that. nt

7. she's got 15 minutes of great excuses that should effectively shut out negative comments

she's good...

8. She has time for a book tour but not a town hall in our district.

Nice.
