WooHoo, they own this one.
Good riddin’s I hope the Pope puts you in your place about LIFE! Maybe an Italian will throw shoes at you for helping destroy the US economy
That woman is vile, so foul, there are no words that can truly describe her.
We can only hope it is a 4″ stiletto.
Now that would be entertaining!
Like I said before Pelosi is a twit, but a very dangerous twit. We must work to have every congressman who voted for this hogwash (without reading it) thrown out of office. I guess their excuse when it fails will be as lame as Geitner’s income tax excuses.
I think she’s over-Botoxed. It’s affected what little brain matter she possessed.
Truly, the inmates are running the asylum.
Wish I was leaving on a jet plane, but with what they’re doing to this country, I better get used to walking or riding my bike.
That’s great.
Now lets burn up Arlen Specter’s, Olympia Snowe’s, and Susan Collin’s phones.
Well, as long as the bill was GOING to be passed, this is the best-case scenario. If it doesn’t help – or makes things worse – all the blame falls to the Dems; Republicans can all say they voted no/voted present/didn’t vote at all.
If things get better – which I believe they will and would have with or without this bill – there’s no way of knowing for sure that the bill had anything to do with it, or just “nature”, for lack of a better word, taking its course.
Not a single Congressman even read the bill which should be enough to vote anyone who voted for this out of office.
I e-mailed all three
Planes are magical things. One little plane ride with Obamuhhh and Ellsworth switched his vote to yes.
Words cannot describe the evil that is Pelosi. She is the vilest of the vile….
MrVIBEMAN – True ‘dat!
Well, look at the bright side. She’s not here!
Careful there, vibe. Let’s keep this clean and tidy.
Obama must have stumbled into the chambers and forgot he was no longer a Senator. Voting “present” is no longer an option for him to dodge accountability.
I beg everyone to please stop capitalizing congress and senate. There is nothing capital about them
The bill cannot succeed at any level save the joy it will bring to those who never lifted a damn finger to work, sat on their collective asses to feed off us and the illegals grinning broadly. This bill cannot be paid for except through higher taxes. My son is over in Iraq and this is HIS reward?…. My ass, I’ll let this go……. you liberals are going down, I promise.
San Fran Nan going to meet the Pope, eh?
If Benedict is actually granting an audience with this ditzy broad, I’ll start seriously questioning my faith in the church.
If she’s as LOUSY a Catholic as she is a legislator, she deserves to be publically excommunicated while she’s there.
C’mon geese!
To much BoTox affected her brain? Hell I didn’t know they gave those shots in the hind end, If she has a brain, that’s the only place it would be.
Demoncrats love all porkulus
A few days ago, I received an email titled “Pelosi Needs to Go”. I agreed, “She needs to Go as far away from DC as possible for a very, very long time!”
Unfortunately, she will return! Personally, I am embarrassed that she, an ardent supporter of the Obama “Pro-Death” culture is going to the Vatican to meet with the Pope. What an insult to Catholics and Pro-Life supporters World-wide!
Everytime I am reminded of her remark, “We won. We write the bill,” I would like for her to be reminded that close to 58 million LEGALLY registered American voters did NOT support the Obama/Biden Agenda.
Please continue with me to REFUSE to be marginalized, ignored, disrespected, and possibly even silenced by the “tyrannical” behavior of Pelosi and Reid! Keep fighting! Never give up! jb
If only the senate would show the same courage. Ahh, who am I kidding.
I hope Nancy has a chance to explain to the Pope why partial birth abortion is a good idea to help the Pres in his desire to bring us all together.
Can we make hers a One Way ticket? Tell you what…in the spirit of bipartisanship…I’ll pick up the tag.
Seriously.
First: Mrs. Malkin, thank you for posting that song. I really like that song (except when I hear it while traveling for work), and I liked the fact that the author of the song (John Denver)joined in. I may listen to it again before moving on.
Second: anybody want to give the TSA an anonymous tip that the plane Ms. Pelosi is returning on has a terrorist on board? An older lady with too much botox to allow facial movements, and lies when she talks? Just sayin’–she deserves the intimate, close reception she would get…
Now to thank my reps for voting my future away, along with my son’s and his children’s (that is, if he has any once he grows up).
ACTION ITEMS
First: We must tell all of our liberal friends why this bill is so dangerous. Use this as an opportunity to get them to listen to talk radio or to read our blogs to get information about the bill.
Second: We must tell all of our conservative friends to tell all of their friends why this bill is so dangerous.
Third: We must work hard to support candidates who run against each legislator who voted in favor of this bill.
Think of the poor TSA woman doing the search! I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy!
I have spent the last week faxing, emailing and calling Senators about stopping this. I am told that Snowe, Collins, and Spector will vote for it. I sent a fax and email to Senator McConell asking that if they do to remove them from any committe that they are on. I also sent email and a fax to GOP about how i would not support tham anymore until they show some backbone and remove these three traitors from the party.
I know it will do no good. Good bye USA. Sorry that our fore fathers died for no reason but to allow what our Founding Fathers fought and died to allow us to return to what they fought against.
No, no! She isn’t on her own piloting a jet.
And stop voting for Morons like Bush and Mccain in primaries.
Sorry, Mr. Franklin.
Some of us fought hard to keep the Republic.
Like it well help but – done again. Two wenches in Maine and Darling Sphincter are rock solid with the libtards on this.
Come one, Senate GOP! Make sure the Democrats own this Crap Sandwich all by their lonesome!
I guess pigs do fly?
Pelosi departing the country is like having a 10 pound anvil lifted from my head.
Now please tell me she is not planning on returning.
BAAWWAAAHHAAAAAA!!! That.Was.Funny.
I wonder if we could get Queen Nancy on the no fly list?
What’s the point ? They are voting according to the socialist majority of their states.
I hope it’s a one way ticket.
You mean like Rick Warren (and all of the other “pastors” and “ministers” did at the “prayer” breakfast)? Religious leaders have no backbone. Scared they will lose thier tax exempt status. They fit right in with the Republican Party of late – no backbone.
I don’t think I ever agreed with Mookie on anything before…
Point taken very well. I let my anger and disgust for that waste of oxygen it clouded my normally clear judgement.
How to Vote-
After your blindfold is affixed, we will spin you around, next we will put you in the room that says “yes”, now-pin the tail on the donkey!
Isn’t this so much fun!
Ohhhh plaaeeezzeee!!! I am so sick of quilt trips. The day you stand before Christ and take on the sins of others – then you can say this garbarge – worry about your own self!
Why does it take until Monday for the prez to get the bill when the congressmen had to vote on it within hours of being printed? Pelosi needs to be tried for treason along with Reid and the others who voted for this pork.
I think people need to worry about themselves and quit policing others – you are right Mainah – we aren’t like them!
Problem with all the comments on TSA, no-fly lists, etc. SanFranNan gets to fly on an AF jet, a militarized version of the 757-200.
http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=90
She will be in a very nice setting with security etc.
After all, she is only two heartbeats away from the Oval Office — now that is something to be afraid of on Friday the 13th!
Mookie’s right, please refrain from openly wishing the demise upon our political enemies. Yes, Pelosi is an enemy (I’d even say of the state), but we must not become more like the verminous left regularly are in wishing real harm to our nations “leaders.”
That said, I pray the good Lord will mete out condign punishment on her and her evil (and I mean truly evil) allies. She will be a major force of real misery not only for the rich but the poor, and for a long, long time. All of these politicians are nothing short of Satan’s disciples, and the sooner they face our political, legal, and moral wrath, the better.
I have a feeling Christ wouldn’t look kindly on openly rooting for for the death of dozens of people.
There needs to be a way to institute term limits on Senators.
You have no idea what Christ likes or doesn’t like, nor can you judge the hearts of man….take my advise and worry about the things you say and do and leave others to themselves.
undreseige, you simpering little toad. Don’t you have a moveon.org rally to attend? The grown ups are talking here.
Ever notice how these children show up right after school…..
Yesterday:
Today:
And just in time for Darwin’s birthday…..she’s evolved
Their liberal indoctrination camps end too early in the day.
Plain/plane.
Well, she is a corrupt woman bent on turning this country into a godless Marxist state.
Or a perfect representative of her disgusting constituents.
(NSFW, or if you have eaten in the past hour. Link gives you a final chance to back out. But the voters in Nancy’s district, like Nancy, are worthless consumers of oxygen who literally enjoy urinating on people.)
Good grief, I’m already depressed about the tailspin our economy is undergoing. Now I have to read commentary where otherwise seemingly intelligent people are openly wishing for the demise of the Speaker. We can do better, it’s entirely unbecoming of this excellent website.
weak comparison – not EVEN the same thing. Nice try though. Sorry I hurt your itty bitty fweelings, but your distatesful comments still aren’t appreciated.
I wonder if Pelosi will misquote the Bible to the Pope:
She flat out LIED about that being in the Bible. There is nothing like tht in the Bible.
Pelosi is a complete and utter Democratic Socialist Communist FRAUD!
Apology accepted.
Pelosi also claims, from her deep understanding of her Catholic faith, that St. Augustine and many of the early leaders of the Church supported abortion.
A theologian she ain’t. Now, does she know she is blowing chunks out her sphincter, ie, is she a liar or just stupid, or probably a bit of both, well, that is open for discussion.
I wonder what in the world the Pope would have to say to her, given her ideological positions.
If undre, lgm, et al. are so shocked by how we feel about them, they shouldn’t be.
And why? Because we now understand they have been openly contemptuous of us for a very long time.
Their opinions of us really don’t substitute for having something intelligent to say on any given matter.
And, since their ideas are completely insane and unAmerican, I have no compunction expressing my naked contempt for such individuals.
If that’s too hurtful for them to read, I’ll be magnanimous enough to toss them a hankie.
If some people here want to express their desire for Madame Botox to expire, that’s their prerogative. I’m not their nanny. They’re adults and can say what they want to say.
Just as all the “adults” on liberal sites have done for over eight years.
Wouldn’t it be awful if Nancy’s plane ran into a few Canadian Geese?
Go Canada!!

Oh, Jeez! Here we go again…
It’s incredibly refreshing to hear conservatives suddenly caring about government spending again, after an 8 year vacation. Welcome back! You were missed!
It’s really unfortunate you wasted all your credibility defending Bush — the most recklessly wasteful president in recent memory — rather than your alleged principles. Your cynicism could not be any more transparent.
You could be 100% right about this “crap sandwich,” but now all the shouting in the world won’t make a lick of difference. Nobody trusts you, nobody’s listening, nobody cares what you think. Bummer, huh?
huggybear, you certainly showed us.
The three turncoat Senators REALLy do not realize what they are in for if they vote yes for it.
I hope she has a good time rereading “The Prison Notebooks” while on her way to visit Gramsci’s tomb.
Dexter, if you can’t handle sarcasm on a day like this than I feel sorry for you. After all Pelosi has done to hurt our country on purpose I can at least make a joke about her and some geese.
No not really. Politics bring out the worse in people. This thread is just like the Kos, but the shoes are on the other foot.
Agreed. Adults can take the criticism also. If you think this type of crap makes Malkin’s blog look good, your a nutjob. If you don’t care, well that’s another story.
You obviously do not pay attantion. We were just as vocal about the passage of TARP. Where do you think crap sandwich 2 came from? Oh yeah, there was a crap sandwich 1, so named here.
Also, many were very critical of how President Bush handled the start of the war in Iraq.
We haven’t changed our views, you just are now starting to listen since it is your scared little boy in charge.
JohnS: What I was expressing was exasperation because it is obvious you haven’t read the earlier posts regarding that same sentiment. I get the sarcasm. You were just re-opening a can of worms that was distracting from the topic.
I second Hunter re: Huggybear. Conservatives have been hammering at Bush on spending and immigration for years. Huggy’s been on vacation, I guess.
Oh…and I forgot to post this
if you haven’t visited them already, NewsBusters is a great site.
Surveyor, now that I could live with
Not that I wish for it. Much.
Mainah I”m sorry if I offended you. I know that should not be an excuse, but I’m just mad as hell watching my Constitution being torn to shreds today.
Dexter: Yes it is obvious I haven’t read all the other posts, but I don’t have time too! But it doesn’t mean I can’t post something that someone else already may have posted just because I didn’t read through all of the previous posts.
Speaking of the Senate, I received a reply in the mail today from my State’s back stabbing senator, Mel Martinez. Naturally, the content of my letter wasn’t even acknowledged. He stated that he was completely FOR the “Stimulus Package”, and would vote for a SECOND package if another ever came around!
FamilyMan, imagine how *I* feel? Good grief, I am close enough to smell these rats.
With some of these comments, I thought I was reading the Daily Kos.
Get a grip, guys.
The fact is that we need term limits. We also need to keep spreading the facts.
undre, I don’t care about the comments of others here. There are more important things for me to care about, i.e., how to rid ourselves of the Liberal-Socialists in office. As soon as possible.
In in it’s “ugliest day,” this site doesn’t come near to the cesspool that is KOS.
Bear ,, Nobody’s listening?? whats all that about when this vote is close? Bush wasn’t exactly a conservative anyway and that would be a lousy comparison. I’ve never seen that much bush was conservative about except if you call his stand on abortion conservative. To prolifers abortion is a sin and no matter what your argument is we won’t change our mind. On another note maybe the pope will show where in the bible that abortion is a sin because obviously she is not aware of her sin.
What President Ronald Reagan rightly called the “Evil Empire” is not just about the Soviet Union/Russia. It’s about Socialism/Communism in any country where it operates.
The “Evil Empire” (the Democratic Socialist Communists) are in control of our government. And while they completely own the Democratic party, they also have a significant presence in the Republican Party.
As an American/Californian I despise and am ashamed of people of Pelosi’s ilk, but wish no violence to her.
While I am ecstatic that the vote went our way, I can find no reason for the gruesome posts, sarcasm or not. They give the Kos/Huffington/ types ammunition for their pitifully redundant quotes about conservatives.
I am sure their intent was not what it seemed, but remember–we’re not liberals
No, I’m not a pacifist or froo-froo. I spent most of my life in the United States Air Force and have learned to respect all life, even the worthless ones.
In the meantime, don’t forget to call the dems that voted with us. That took a massive titanium set.
NEVER FORGET

I have my rep and Cornyn’s phone numbers on my speed dial. Cornyn’s phone was busy ALL day. My Rep. Lamar Smith was one of the GOP (all of them) who stood up. The good news is that Michael Steele has put Snowe, Collins and Specter on notice. Let donks take over their offices, and put more REAL conservatives into office where they will make a difference! That even 3 RINOs finger prints are on this travesty of a bill just totally pisses me off!! Good on ya, GOP House and those in the Senate who stood up for my great grandchildren!
I manned GOP phones this year, just prior to the election. My list one day was Aroostook County Democrats. I was to call and ask how they planed to vote. Some hung up on me the minute I said where I was calling from. Most answered the questions, which were simple: for whom will you vote for Pres? For whom will you vote for Senate? EVERY one of them said Obama, and made a point of bashing Republicans in general.
But probably 95% of the ones I called voted for COLLINS for Senate. Democrats! I thought at the time that it was because she is a County girl. Now I know better.
I will never vote for her again, in fact I will campaign against her if given the chance. I will hold my nose and vote Dem if need be, just to get her out of here.
I think some of you people that are so quick to condemn peoples remarks need to stop and try to take into consideration why they say what they say. Politics it’s self is a very emotional subject, not to mention if your a conservative you just saw your country yanked out from under you today. Obviously that raise ones temper and rightfully so. Have you never had deadly thoughts of others in a moment of anger?
Personally I could care less what happens to any of these socialist, anti-Americans that are dismantling my country, piece by piece. I’m not advocating “death’ on any of them, but in the same turn I could care less if they dropped dead any minute now.
As far over stating ones self in their posts the final word comes from MM, she has the off switch for any of us. You that keep saying this is being like kos or huffington post, I seriously doubt it from all I heard over the years, myself I won’t go on those sites. They offer me nothing, in fact all they do offer is hate, irrational hate.
A final note, taking the high road hasn’t got us any where either. When we get back in control, after these socialists bankrupt this country completely, we need to fight and fight hard, just as hard as the dems have been doing for decades.
I apologize for the lengthy bs, I’m just upset by what happened today to our country and for generations to come. The American public is now made up of nothing more than indentured slaves, all of us tax payers.
I’ve been delighted to see MM making numerous appearances on Fox again…. This is her very own website, with her very own name attached. If she chose to maintain a site without her name, I think we’d still have found her, because of the sincerity of her writing. But, out of respect for her time, investment, and honor – keeping our bantor to within civil bounds would be our greatest compliment to her…at any time, someone can pull a comment and link it to this website and make it appear she condons every single off the wall statement.
That said, I cannot remember a day when I was more concerned for this country and her people. We have taken a giant leap off a cliff where no one knows how far down to the bottom it is. And, I do think, with this pre-schoolers plan, we’ll hit bottom. We need grown-ups, but I don’t see any in sight.
FYI – if we are ever allowed to vote again, please do not consider anyone with a law degree – we need people in office from industry, small business, and agriculture.
Anyone who voted for this without even reading it needs to be out off office and banned from ever holding a position again.
Let me see if I get this straight…
A lot of people lost their homes because they failed to read and understand documents containing all sorts of toxic surprises and we get a global economic collapse.
Now Congress has signed off on the largest mortgage in galactic history WITHOUT READING THE DOCUMENTS.
Gee, I wonder how this will turn out.
Time for some old time religion.

I do live and work here in the bay area, but believe me, I would never vote for pelosi/boxer/feinstein or even that RINO swartzenkennedy.
I realize you were upset and I forgive you for throwing us all in the pot together. Obviously, CA isn’t the only state who has problems with their reps & senators.
My kids live in IL. Look what those people have had to deal with. The big cities keep electing those crooks while the rest of the state suffers and pays taxes to support all those community organizers [ACORN]. blago will be the 3rd governor in my lifetime, headed off to the big house. The voting maps show where all the major problems are, the big cities.
Things look pretty grim but I’m not ready to lie down and let them kick me. Here in the bay area, KSFO talk radio helps me keep my sanity. I’m only one person, but with the help of my good conservative friends, we’ve boycotted code pink in berzerkley when they tried kicking the Marines out, we boycotted the jerk billie ayers when he spoke at st. mary’s university. We all have to pick and choose our battles but I think we all better pick this one. Every phone call, every fax or email, I believe it does matter. I don’t have to be vulgar to remind everyone what “pay backs are”!!!
Uncle Joe Stalin had a name for people like Nancy…”Useful Idiots”. It works for me.
