Liberal math: 500 million jobs lost a month!
Just say it: She’s a moron. “Know Your Power?” Know Your Numbers, Nan.
Best reax to the vid: Allahpundit. “Which of the 57 states will be hit hardest by the downturn?”
Snorty-snort.
Flashback: “JOBS is a three-letter-word.”

Pelosi is an idiot. She has removed all doubt. Now, will her constituents remove her?
Innumeracy…It’s what’s for dinner!
500,000,000 JOBS! 57 STATES!
Where are chap and lgm to give an honest defense of these clueless morons we have
runningruining our countryDon’t worry. All we need is a few more tornados to kill off 10,000 a pop and those unemployment numbers will drop.
it says the video is no longer available whats up!!!
got it that was weird
She just proved that statistical data, botox and zanax do not mix well together.
This must be the same math Dems use to come up with 3,000,000 homeless people in the USA, at least when Republicans are in the White House
I suppose back when I heard Pelosi calling Bush names similar to idiot, I should have thought it took one to know one…boy, she’s baaad!
Ohhh Myyy!
Run for your lives!
500 billion, million, gazillion jobs lost!
Do save us Nancy, boo hooooo! For the love of God save us. You are our only hope and change.
Is she counting the illegals?
Er, Nancy, remind me again the population number of the USA? Maybe she thinks we all have two jobs, though that might be a necessity pretty soon.
Beat me to it.
Please remember it is not the results that count, it is how you “feel” about your answer!
Nancy is the poster child for birth control.
A machine operator in my plant came to me last month and said “Man, things are bad. There are fifteen hundred million people out of work!” The good news is little Ricky is not running our government. The bad news is that Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank are.
For the safety of the nation, is it possible for the American people to have members of Congress committed to a mental institution? Do we have any alternatives here? The lunatics really are running the asylum.
Isn’t Nanny Rictus Botox the same genius who said that natural gas wasn’t a fossil fuel?
Ol’ Bug Eyes is counting the jobs of women out there. You know how single mothers have to do a thousand jobs a day to take care of their children or simply SURVIVE. Or, minorities who have to work twice as hard as everyone else (two jobs right there). Or, maybe if her doctor injects Botox and collagen, and he takes fat from your butt and puts it in your cheek, he actually did three jobs. If you start adding up all the jobs like this….
Truly, the recession has spread to all 57 states.
chap and lgm would not even attempt to defend this idiot.
Again, the more I think about it the more I like the idea of a public petition to have Nancy and the other congressional loon/thieves committed under a federal Baker Act. They are in the danger zone now. No time to waste.
Remember there are three kinds of people in this world; those who can count and those who can’t.
That’s our girl!
What bothers me??? This ROYAL SCREW UP was done in front of a room full of “JOURNALISTS”… Not one challenge, not one question… Not even a madam speaker, are you sure of what you just stated??? SAAAAAAAAAAD… I believe our 57 or so states are in deep DOO DOO…
Wait a second….I bet Nancy was looking at how many people Acorn signed up this year to vote Democrat.
Why should they? They probably believed every word she said. She’s a Democrat and thus in their eyes infallible.
Why should they? They probably believed every word she said. She’s a Democrat and thus in their eyes infallible.
We have plenty of alternatives, but stubbornly refuse to use them. Instead we re-elect these nimrods term after term after term.
In America, more than anywhere else in the world, we get the government we deserve.
The recession has hit South Virginia?!
Dammit.
East Dakota still OK? I’m originally from Georgia II, so my prayers are with them.
Oh, say it ain’t so!
500,000,000 Americans??? LOL
Anyone know what the current population of the US as of right… now?
Bueller? Bueller?… Answer: 305,748,xxx
She’s such an idiot missed the actual population of the country by over 50%. If it weren’t so scary, it would almost be funny.
A further challenge to the already-intellectually-challenged Ms. Pelosi:
What is the current total in the US workforce at present (I’ll even accept an answer to within 10 million)?
Possibly, but how many of them actually had a job to lose?
This is exactly the sort of math that gives you a 1 trillion dollar spending bill.
Yes, I said 1 trilion.
If you divide 500 million by 57 states that would be…, uh, let’s see, I think I have it: 1.2 trillion for birth control!
LGM – pelosi needs you. DESPERATELY. Start with the number of zeros in a million vs a thousand.
This is all cute and fun. Mock away. But how many of you honestly believe for one second that this was anything other than a simple transposition of “millions” rather than “thousands”?
Much like, if you are being honest, you all know that Obama 1) knows we have 50 states and meant “forty” and 2) know he was not sending some super secret message about Islam.
Ask if your feelings for Pelosi are getting the better of your good judgment, and also ask if you have ever done the same thing.
But, if you are just making fun of an obvious misstatement, feel free to have at it.
Kinda gives me a warm fuzzy…
Knowing that Auntie Nan is in charge of the House which appropriates money. Why, I bet she introduces a bill for eleventry brazillion dollars to help the 500 million who just lost their jobs in January.
You forgot to allow for minority abortions, lets see 1.2 trillin divided by 25% = 2 trillion for planned peranthood.
Hope that helped.
She got her numbers from the same guy who counted the attendees at the Million-Man March!
Maybe she confused jobs with the taxes Obama nominees have not paid
My corn flakes super decoder ring says otherwise. Methinks you are an alqueada plant???
Being perfect in everyway, I have not. You may now bask in my obama like glow…. You are welcome.
CHAP Aren’t you the people tellilng us how stupid Bush was because he couldn’t speak.
Sow/Reap, Repeat.
Chap, I think most are having fun, but why did she not correct herself? Surely she heard what she said.
Chap: I seem to recall the mockery of Bush 43 when he sometimes mangled the English language.
My response then was, “I would rather have a President that mangles the language than his predecessor who mangled the truth!”
Now we have someone mangling numbers to scare the daylights out of the sheeple so the ‘stimulus’ will get passed.
I are not that people.
I believe Obama said he’d been in 57 states and had one more to go, so we have 58 states!
My office is already feeling warmer.
Well, even though too sissy enough to challenge…somebody in that room caught it and was able to send it along to someone who edited it and posted it on YouTube….
You got 8 years of calendars, shirts, nightly broadcasts and comedians pointing out every misstatement by President Bush. Fine. But when those same people who made fun of Bush open their mouths and confirm they’re bigger idiots its all an honest mistake, a “glitch.” Sorry, karma’s a bitch (see Biden’s flubbing of Hillary’s swearing in after making fun of Justice Roberts).
I think someone high up in the administration wants Pelosi out.
What scares me the most is knowing there are idiots out there thinking, “Oh my, 500 million a month, they need to do something!” And those people are serious.
Hey Chap,
Might as well yield to the abuse. Since we cannot lock these political morons in stocks and throw rotten fruit and vegetables at them, this is our way of getting back. We sure have seen the nastiest of it over the last eight years. Could get worse…
Send your shoe to Pelosi……figuratively of course
Virginia Patriot
My thoughts, exactly. It’s easier to come up with a number like 500K people when you add those other seven or eight states. lol
You are correct in both cases — Pelosi here and Obama on states.
But you should lighten up. You know that nobody on this site believes that Pelosi (as stupid as she is) really meant to say millions or that Obama doesn’t know there are 50 states, so your statement comes off as patronizing.
What people here are reacting to by commenting is that these goofs get no mention in the MSM, but based on history, had former Pres. Bush or any other prominent Republican made a similar misstatement that it would be fodder for every newspaper and broadcast news show as to how idiotic Republicans / conservatives are.
Your team (not always you personally; I’ve actually seen posts here where you poke fun of yourself) is great at dishing the “diss”, but when it comes to conservatives having some fun at the expense of liberals, well, you just joined the likes of the real trolls on this site and got your panties in a twist.
Leave the histrionics to lgm, Ilovemycountry, eaglehaslanded, Omu, and RedStateSkeptic. We expect better from you.
Coming from Nancy Pelosi that question is not the slam dunk it would normally be.
I have a question for you: did you ever, EVER, for even one moment apply that standard to President Bush?
No, you didn’t. None of you did. The “Bush is an idiot” meme was so common that an entire industry of books, bumperstickers and tv shows was build on it. Even though it is objectively, provably untrue.
Ignore that Bush attended our elite universities, because theoritically it’s possible for someone to skate by based on family connections. What you cannot ignore is that Bush was a fighter pilot. It is impossible to be an idiot and fly supersonic jet fighters. Utterly impossibe.
But to this day that doesn’t stop you and yours from telling the world how stupid he is.
So please, take that finger you’re so hypocritically wagging at us and stick it somewhere unmentionable.
Methinks Chap doth defend the lady too much. Is there a little crush going on for our Nancy perhaps?
Really? No one?
I will watch Olbermann and Maddow tonight to see if this comes up, but in general, I probably agree.
Odd you would think that, considering on this very thread I made fun of Obama’s “tornado” quote.
If each of those 500 million folks would send me a dollar I’d help them find a job.
Thats right, You have all been looking int he wrong place I am the cause of global warming.
I only wish this were true. If it were, Congress would be gone in the 1st month and they’d all be forced to find something else to do with their time besides screwing things up for everybody else.
Our government defines a person as employeed if they work one hour per week. So who knows what the real job creation and loss numbers are? Maybe people are having their cars washed only twice a month now instead of four times a month?
Sounds like the ‘Porkulous” bill could use some additional funding for Beltway area, Adult-based Continuing Education courses in Civics, U.S. Government, Tax Preparation, Remedial Math and Public Speaking.
The inmates are truly running the asylum!
Hey Chap, At least we are having fun in a sporting way, and not spewing anything like the vitrioloic hate as was directed toward GW by your counterparts on the left.
“lgm.. lgm… anyone?” as the crickets chirp…
vitrioloic = vitriolic.
Dang fat fingers!
Don’t forget Jon Stewart.
As always, though, thanks for the candor and willingness to concede a point.
This is the kind of ignoramus we end up with when we don’t press for strong candidates in the primaries to win the House and Senate back from the dems and incumbent RINO’s. We’ve got to have candidates who can get the conservative base back to the poll booth. Michael Steele, are you listening?
No wonder the dems think they need a huge stimulus package!
I don’t think one can have a “counterpart” on the same side, can one? And as for a counterpart on the right, who wants to claim the mantle of dashing, incredibly astute and witty attorney/warrior-poet?
She must be including the 200 million new illegals that will be here when she passes her amnesty bill and opens the floodgates.
So Pelosi walks into a bar…and says “Bartender, I just got my botox, I need a beer.”
And the bartender replies: “Okay, but why the straight face?”
Would that truly make him the opposite of you in every way?
SSSHHH still basking in my obama like glow… uuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm
Pretty much. Except for the poet part. Perhaps you are familiar with my work?
I think Pelosi needs to be shipped off to Iceland where she will feel more at home. I believe they are currently losing 600,000,000 jobs per month, so they need her more than we do.
Chap…Did you really write that? It is really good!
I was feeling punchy election night. I had another about Geithner that I can’t find.
Yes, even the ones not born yet and the ones still in Guatemala/Mexico/el Salvador/Bolivia/Ecuador, etc.
strike that…inauguration night.
that and $100 steaks at taxpayer expense
I prefer haiku to limericks.
Nancy Pelosi
Five hundred million jobs gone
Doesn’t have a clue
Chappy
As a lawyer you know how important word precision is. Everyone here understands that number she used was a mental malfunction, but you must admit she is becoming a little scary with her lapses.
I’m waving my hand in the air, but sitting too far back I guess…
Didn’t she get the gas price wrong by about 100% or so? This lady is ummm, “out of touch” I guess I’ll say.
Fixed it Aloha.
She’s right give or take a couple of zeros.
Pelosi Math = divide everything by 1000.
According to Pelosi Math, the stimulus bill should be 800 million dollars. Sounds about right to me.
Hey Senate Republicans, show your House colleagues your conviction: 177-0
Everyone relax, she was just doing her Carl Sagan impersonation!
I hate hyperbole. There must be a billion people in San Francisco alone that grossly exaggerate! Geez!
She knows what she is doing: the 500M number is fear mongering disguised as an attention getter, with the purpose of drawing people to consider the actual unemployment numbers and to worry that it will continue to increase w/o government intervention, a.k.a., the Pelosi & the Democrats’ stimulus plan.
500,000,000(per mon.) jobs lost but I’m not sure anyone in the Zero’s administration knows how many states there are. He said, paraphrasing…”been to 57 states, has 1 more to go, my campaign won’t let me go to Hawaii and Alaska.” Harvard grade huh…well, Teddy the Swimmer went there too, soo, just saying. Don’t forget the erudite B. O’Really with expanded vocabulary of “things and stuff” went there also.
To finish: Why else would Pelosi use the 500M number on three separate occasions to describe unemployment – she’s knows the actual number and is manipulating it to her benefit.
Chap,
Very good limericks…I can’t seem to get past “There was a man from Nantucket…”
Wonder if maybe during one of her botox treatments the doc slipped, she was given an accidental lobotomy. hmmmm…can’t think of another good reason for a stupid comment like that…oh wait, she’s a liberal politician, never mind.
Very good chap, you sure your a liberal?
Auntie Nan,
Didn’t you just pledge to Wolf Blitzer that there would be no earmarks or pork in the stimulus package?
I guess your words ring as hollow as your head.
Sorry the link is:

I only know of one way of getting close to this number. Let’s deport 20 million illegals. That would be a great stimulus to the economy.
Who needs sitcoms with the Obama administration supplying all the laughs?
Dumber than Soap???
HEY!!!
Okay, that is pretty dumb…
chapoutier, for what it’s worth, you’re one of my favorite posters on this site. It’s not that I always agree with you, but you have a pleasant and witty way of making your point. Too bad there isn’t more of that in this world.
Hey Mulligan Man!, I agree. Chap is normally pleasant and witty. Although he did go off on me once for somebody else’s posting.
I wondered if one of us was off his meds until he realized he had mis-ID’d the original posting and then he apologized.
Actually, it’s Mulligan Lady, nail49. Good joke though.
