Ever since the DC DEMs regained numerical "control" of the House after November 2006 elections Nancy Pelosi has demonstrated well and often that whatever her motivations for wanting to be in WashingtonDC are they have little to do with wanting to do the right thing,to be a profile in courage or to actually display any integrity of character and leadership.
I believe she was just re-elected as Speaker again with no opposition votes. Evidently the DC DEMs are quite pleased with Nancy Pelosi and her "leadership" team.
I am prepared to give PEBO the benefit of six to nine months of time to establish a record of viewable positions taken/not taken and actions done/not done. If he takes to Pelosi styled WashingtonDC conduct it will truly be a disappointment.
Pelosi? I think Nancy Pelosi should have resigned sometime last year as it is/was and surely Nancy Pelosi should have done so here in Jan.2009 prior to Jan.20,2009. She seems to have not been forthcoming about Bush/Cheney regime conduct she was in on and then used her position to shield from the light of day. Evidently she thinks this is A-OK conduct.Really?
Nancy Pelosi should resign--as a matter of character/integrity for her "politics" of past two years. Evidently Nancy Pelosi sees her record otherwise. No evident shame or sense of personal accountability for or over what she has been doing or not doing during past two years.
I can understand being duped but then making corrections once aware of having been duped. I am not getting any sense of this being so with Nancy. She was in on this stuff. Knowingly so. Did not stop it. Has repeatedly cloaked Bush/Cheney regime conduct with her power to cloak as Speaker.
It fails basic smell tests. I have little respect for Nancy Pelosi anymore.
With the above story GG only underlines why even a little respect is likely too much.
