Ostrich award: Nancy Pelosi joins Charlie Gibson

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 17, 2009 12:26 PM

Huh? What? Duh? The Senate de-funded ACORN?

Nancy Pelosi says she didn’t know:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday she is clueless about an amendment to prohibit government funds for embattled ACORN, although it overwhelmingly passed the Senate Monday and the White House is calling for the group to be held accountable.

“I don’t even know what they passed,” Pelosi told The Post yesterday. “What did they do? They defunded it?”

She must be sharing the same hole in the sand that Charlie Gibson’s head is occupying.

    The majority of news stories today in fishwrap organs begin by citing actions that ACOSRN is now taking to staunch the bad behavior… like “Hey. her’s an organization taking the proper steps to bla bla bla…eg.
    WASHINGTON (CNN) — The community organizing group ACORN on Wednesday announced a hiring freeze, new training programs and an independent review of its programs after the recent release of a series of videotapes embarrassing to the agency.

    Slightly off topic I guess but the Secretary of the Office of Euphemisms, Janet Napolitano, has halted border construction projects over the howling over how high prior projects (those where illegal entry is rampant) are passed over for low priority projects (those that are in the middle of nowhere).

    Misuse of stimulus money by ignoring officially stated priority lists is cited. The program is “under review”. Kind of like ACORN I guess.

    Napolitano defended those decisions in her letter, saying northern border stations could be repaired for a fraction of the cost of busier checkpoints.

    Oh I see! We can’t waste money on projects that actually protect the border because that is more expensive than spending $15 million shoring up a gate at Whitetail Montana that was rusted shut from disuse.

    Here is what the speaker of the house had to say about one of the biggest scandals of the year and the taxpayer funds going to the group ACORN

    “I don’t even know what they passed,” Pelosi told The Post yesterday. “What did they do? They defunded it?”

    Is this the leadership that America needs?

    You get the point. I guess Pelosi cant write a fundraiser letter and pay attention to what is going on in Congress at the same time.

    Wait a minute. Didn’t the Obama administration fire an the IG Walpin for being “so “confused” and “disoriented” that there was reason to question “his capacity to serve.”?

The liars and thieves of Congress are the sensitive types so stop that. Inspector General Walpin told the truth which was confusing TO Obama and CongressCritters.

    I thnk she actually knows quite a bit about it. Two things may be happening.

    1. They have developed a strategy for responding to this whole issue which includes things like, “Oh I didn’t hear about it.” That is codespeak for it must not be that big a deal. Charlie Gipson (supposed non partisan reporter) is on on the strategy. This will be followed by the “Its just a few miscreants and shouldn’t reflect on the whole organization. They are responding appropriately to solve the problem while they continue to do so much good in the world.” Hence no problem.

    2. They have not developed the strategy yet and so everyone just plays it off until they can get their coordinated response together.

    Either one is still lies, blatant lies.

    I don’t believe for one minute that Pelosi or the rest of the Democrats are ignorant of ACORN’s criminal base. The Democrats view such people as the downtrodden of society, the ones damaged by the system.

    I note that Pelosi is now scared of violence. I suspect she knows that 1.7 million people showed up in DC and that this has caused great angst within Democratic Party circles. She knows that the thugs and loonies that have infected ACORN and SEIU will fight for their lives (as they have already done at a number of town meetings), and she also knows that the people who actually pay the bills have had it with her and her big government socialism.

    The next set of rallies must be at the headquarters of ABC, CBS and NBC. The press can no longer be allowed to hide from their responsibility to speak truth to power and to defend the rights of free speech and assembly guaranteed to each citizen. The press is supposed to be the friend of the people and the watchdog of the powerful. They have failed deliberately.

    Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “I have concerns about some of the language that is being used…This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.”

    IMHO it’s criminal that this person is actually the Speaker of the House of the United States of America, and as such, is a mere two heartbeats away from the presidency.
