Does Nancy Pelosi deserve an apology ?

[SuperTrouper]

It looks like that nancy Pelosi was actually correct in saying that the CIA was misleading Congress regarding the torture methods. Perhaps we jumped the gun in attacking Pelosi (myself included) and that was evidenced by her approval rating worse than Darth Cheney's. She may not be the most likable Congress person but in this one she was right. Are apologies in order?

[Puzzler]

1. Yes.

[JitterbugPerfume]

2. yes

3. Newt first?????????

4. What? DU Support Nancy Pelosi? Where Do You Think You Are?

I know the bitching has subsided as of late, but I still see those here who believe Pelosi can do no right...even going as far as saying she was complicit with the booosh regime crimes. Most of the noise died down when the Speaker finally stood up and has been pushing a Progressive agenda in the House. But still it's not good enough.

Expect an apology to Pelosi? And ruin a good punching bag? Heresy!

8. People *here* attacked her for saying that about the CIA misleading us?

I either missed or forgot about that.

12. Just Look Back...

There were those...and no I'm not wasting the time to name names...a simple search here will turn up plenty of posts where Pelosi was accused of enabling the boooosh regime...willing to accept the bullshit that she knew about the torture and did nothing to stop it despite the fact she was neither Speaker of the House at the time and sworn to secrecy.

[redqueen]

13. Oh yes...

true, there is a contingent of people here for whom nothing will ever be good enough.

10. +1 (Nothing Pelosi can do will ever be good enough for most of DU.) n/t

5. Let me be the first.

I didn't join in the Pelosi bashing sessions here or elsewhere, but didn't exactly believe her side of the story, either.

6. WWSD?

What would Sarah do? Resign in triumph?

9. Betcherass she does!! Starting with Boehner.

[Doctor_J]

11. yes, but she won't get any

people like Boner and all the GOP minions in Big Media should be sued or prosecuted for their terrorism

[noamnety]

14. Well, let me ask you this:

Has she taken any action to hold the people who lied to congress accountable for perjury?

If she opts not to prosecute, then I am absolutely fine with transferring that accountability to her.

[Saturday]

15. Yes, and it will happen right after they apologize to Hillary...

for saying she wasn't a team player. So in other words, on the 12th of never.

[bananas]

16. Yes. nt

[Orsino]

17. Pelosi owes us many, many apologies for policies that have done permanent damage.

I think there is much more important work for us than an apology for her being temporarily inconvenienced.

Nor am I yet convinced that she was "right" in this case, whatever that means.

[Vidar]

18. On this issue,yes; in general, no.

[BlooInBloo]

19. For that? Yah. For not supporting lots of stuff she should have? No.

[Duer 157099]

20. Just as soon as she apologizes for "clearing the table"

I lost all respect for her back then, and I cannot imagine ever regaining it. Ever. EVER.

[Cha]

21. Yes, of course, she does..I

remember that whole Brouhaha and I was definetly giving her the benefit over the freakin' bush CIA.
