What was keeping them from acting in a bi-partisan fashion when the Republicans were in power?

It seems to me that is makes far mire sense for her to make that statement when they were not in power. In order for her to guarantee that the Dems are going to work in a bi-partisan fashion, they are going to either have to create legislation that is not Liberal in nature and goes more towards what a Republican would make, or will have to sign on to what the Republicans are writing. It will not work if they are going to write their usual Tax and Spend Liberal tripe and then bully and threaten and have a tantrum and force the Republicans into signing and then whine and cry that it is the Republicans that are not playing nice. That is not being bi-partisan, which is, of course, what they ended up doing. That, also of course, ended up breaking her promise, one that was destined for being broken the minute it left her mouth.

Then again, if it is stated by a Liberal, it is a lie to begin with.

“Cure For Insomnia”

Shortly after that speech she was seen tossing it out the window of her limo and laughing like a hysterical mad woman.

Now that is something I can visualize. Probably the most accurate description of an action taken by the ‘speaker’ to date.

That’s some kind of leadership we got, huh. I wouldn’t trust Pelosi and her ‘followers’ to run the local paper boys route.
As for the document of her speech LIES? (this is way beyond broken promises)
We’ve got plenty of wonderful speeches thru the centuries…this is not one of them.
Shall we call it…
The “Magnum Part-er”..
the “Declaration of Incompetence”
the “Thrill of Fights”

Of course the donkeys assumed that once they got their hands on power, everything would just work out wonderfully. Much more than Republicans, donkeys are prone to see their possession of authority as an a priori good in and of itself. Remember how smugly and arrogantly they did their little “Macarena” dance during their nominating convention in 1992, in the intervals when the tune “Don’t Stop Thinkin’ About Tomorrow” wasn’t blaring over the PA system? That combination was the perfect encapsulation of their attitude toward what it means to gain, hold and exercise authority: unthinking, undisciplined, self-absorbed and absolutely convinced of their own sense of entitlement.

None of that changed in November of 2006.

With limited exceptions (e.g., the Vietnam War, pre-Civil Rights Act white racism, back-alley abortions and “McCarthyism”) for donkeys “history” begins when they wake up in the morning. Similarly, having absolutely no sense of shame, donkeys are quite comfortable living by two sets of rules: one for themselves, notable for its situational ethics, amorality and do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do basis of authority, and a much more stringent one for everyone else, which can be summed up as, “When you understand what I want, then we’ll have a ‘mutual understanding.’” [Hey guys, wanna spice up things with your wives/girlfriends? Try that line on them. Trust me, you'll see that ol' fire in her eyes...]

Roll the two themes above together, and much of the petulance, infantilism and rage that donkeys display when they don’t get what they want is readily understandable; for the idea of reaping the whirlwind is utterly alien to them. Hence the sense of bewilderment and the disgusting cries of, “Mommy! He hit me back!” when Republicans reciprocate donkey tactics like the filibuster and the de facto requirement of a 60-vote majority to get anything done in the senate.

“Hey, we won, the Republicans were supposed to just roll over and play dead! Whose fault it this?!?”

Delightful.

When asked what she plans to do about the inability of the Democrat controlled congress to pass significant legislation Speaker Pelosi said “its all the fault of the bigoted racist homophobic Republicans.”……………

Uh, maybe this isn’t so faux after all.

Smokin’ some of the good stuff, eh Steny?
