Via Mike Madden, the Democrats’ House health care proposal on the floor outside Nancy Pelosi’s district office. Message: Kill the bill, tear it up and start over:

Queen Nancy Pelosi reportedly ordered Capitol Hill police to block a GOP staffer from attending the Speaker’s public option announcement on Capitol Hill.
Transparency, schmansparency:

Power to the people!
As always, sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Know your failure, Nancy. And own it:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi counted votes Thursday night and determined she could not pass a “robust public option” — the most aggressive of the three forms of a public option House Democrats have been considering as part of a national overhaul of health care.
Pelosi’s decision—coupled with a significant [...]

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 [...]

Nancy Pelosi just sent out the following fund-raising e-mail through the DCCC:
If this summer proved anything, it showed how urgently we must stand together to restore civility to our politics and help President Obama seize this historic moment for health insurance reform in America.
You have already taken a stand against the Republicans’ attempt to shout [...]

Remember when Nancy Pelosi called private health insurers “villains” and “almost immoral” two months ago?
Well, never mind, eh, Nancy?
The Open Left blog reports exclusively that Pelosi will attend a fund-raiser next week hosted by villainous Steve Elmendorf, a registered lobbyist with almost immoral private health insurer, United Health. He’s throwing the party at his house [...]

Charlie Rangel puts a whole new twist on walking-around money.
He doled it out to Ethics Committee Democrat members walking around on the Hill.
And it’s paying off.
WCBS-TV reports:
CBS 2 HD has learned of more alleged back-door dealings and political power peddling by Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel.
The reigning member of Congress’ top tax committee is apparently “wrangling” [...]

I’ll let these speak for themselves:
Kennedy’s Death Spurs Calls to Pass Health Legislation
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office sent an email to reporters at around 2:30 a.m. today, just hours after his death, calling for the passage of health care overhaul. “Ted Kennedy’s dream of quality health care for all Americans will be made real this [...]

Fast-forward this 2006 left-wing video of Nancy Pelosi at a San Francisco anti-war forum to 3:48, when hard Leftists start shouting and disrupting.
The moderator tries to discourage a shouting match.
Pelosi cuts off the moderator and encourages her hecklers chanting “NO MORE WAR:”
Pelosi: “I appreciate that. I appreciate that you as advocates can say that. [...]

“¿Quien sabe?”

“Ah, but the strawberries! That’s where I had them!”

Scroll for update…
Like Marie Antoinette, Woman of the People Nancy Pelosi doesn’t really care what the hoi polloi think of her.
Let them eat…her Gulfstream exhaust.
Via Politico:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is one of the most despised political figures in the country.
And, frankly, she doesn’t give a damn.
“No, I don’t care,” Pelosi told POLITICO last Thursday, laughing [...]

I rolled my eyes a few weeks ago when GOP Whip Eric Cantor whined that Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t meet with Republicans.
Instead of wasting breath looking desperate, the GOP leadership should have been making sure each and every member fully understood the devastating impact of cap-and-tax and had properly girded their loins against being bought off.
Pelosi [...]

“She is not an honest woman.”

Two items from today’s CYA Congress:
1) House Democrats block Republican call for probe of Pelosi
There was political theater, drama, but no surprise ending on Thursday on a topic involving spies, torture and truth in the Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives.
Republicans again ripped into Speaker Nancy Pelosi for accusing the CIA of misleading Congress — and [...]

The House GOP conference picks the perfect background music for Nancy Pelosi’s stammering, stuttering and verbal pirouettes: the Nutcracker Suite.

Perfect: Dan Collins dubs it “Dance of the Sugarplum Failure.”

The House Republicans are not letting up on Nancy Pelosi. Good.
GOP House Leader Boehner says put up the evidence that the CIA lied or apologize:

And the House GOP Conference is pounding the Democratic culture of corruption: “Tonight, House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter will lead Special Orders live on CSPAN to review where we are [...]

The brilliant Jim Treacher has created a new art form: Pelosi haiku…or Pelosiku.
Check out his inspired poetry collection at The Green Room. Sample:
What’s this trigger do?
Ouch, my right foot really hurts
Let’s try the left one

As I tell my tales
Watch me blink out in Morse Code:
“I’m a lying [bleep]”

I am not lying
Except for what I just [...]

We had dueling press conferences this morning with Nancy Pelosi accusing the Bush CIA of lying to her about waterboarding and House GOP leader John Boehner defending the integrity of the briefers.
Pelosi had a particularly frozen look on her face throughout her presser as she repeated the “Bush lied about Iraq” mantra [...]

After a long runaround, ironically, this could be the only way to finally get to the bottom of this mess and find out once and for all what she knew, and when she knew it.
If it helps thwart just one more attack on our intellects, it’ll be worth it:

But if anybody asks, I was [...]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi knew from September 2, 2002 that enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding, were being used on jihadi detainees.
She knew. From Day One.
That’s what the CIA memo, published at Human Events, shows.
ABC News follows. Pelosi’s spokesperson says his boss has a “recollection” that is “different.”
Nancy Pelosi: Blink, blink.
Allahpundit surveys all the evidence contradicting [...]

“Happy day.”

As I noted yesterday, the next big shamnesty push is underway at the White House. And Nancy Pelosi is performing her own open-borders sideshow in the House circus tent. If her rhetoric trashing federal ICE agents sounds familiar, well, it’s because Barack Obama engaged in the same smearing during the campaign — when he accused [...]

How nauseating to hear the growing chorus of lawmakers on Capitol Hill inveighing about the AIG bonuses and the rewarding of incompetence.
Spare me, Barney Frank:
“These people may have a right to their bonuses, they don’t have a right to their jobs forever,” Mr. Frank said, charging that the bonuses amounted to rewards for incompetence. And [...]

Stripping off the whitewash.

All aboard Air Pelosi…

My syndicated column today takes a close look at the documents obtained by the invaluable Judicial Watch pertaining to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s military travel demands. There were some real gems buried in the FOIA records release. I zeroed in on Pelosi’s diva request in December 2008 to have the military reposition [...]

Judicial Watch has a new trove of FOIA docs on Queen Nancy’s military air travel.
Read ‘em all here.

The Pope’s rebuke of pro-abortion Catholic Nancy Pelosi was diplomatically worded, of course.
But as transparent as Scotch tape.
Wham.
Pelosi’s response?
Blink, blink. Blink.
