A dark, evil place.
If congress is taking over foreign policy, does that mean Bush now gets to advise and consent on his own nominations?

Pelosi isn't going to Iran. Lantos suggested he's interested in going. Not Pelosi.


“The Speaker has no intention of going to Iran.
“She has great respect for Mr. Lantos, who is the only Holocaust survivor in the Congress and a staunch supporter of Israel, and who would like to go to begin a dialogue there, as the bipartisan Iraq Study Group recommended.”

Bush shouldn't even get to use the remote control on the TV in his bedroom anymore.

The man should have no authority in any matter of importance.

It’s a brave new world! The glass/marble/concrete ceiling has been broached by Nancy Pelosi (forget what other women did) and the sky’s the limit.

Can I safely assume you don’t like Bush?

You stole that from Dennis Miller. Well, maybe you were just inspired.

Pelosi is an absolute mess so far IMO. And the rest of the country is catching on. As I predicted.

Under withering assault from Republicans, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has seen her approval rating suffer its first significant drop in her brief tenure wielding the gavel, according to a new independent poll.

While she still remains more popular than President Bush, Pelosi's job approval rating dropped to 46 percent, according to an AP-Ipsos poll conducted in the middle of last week. Her disapproval rating climbed up to 44 percent, which is a sizeable shift from mid-January when the same poll had Pelosi's approval-disapproval rating at 51-35.

She's a train wreck.

In way over her head.

The more I hear her speak, the more she reminds me of a train wreck in way over her head.

Hillary has a sense of power and resolve.

Condi does.

Feinstein.

Pelosi reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore.

This is the moment I knew we had big problems with this woman separate from her political views.

“This is a direct statement.” From a politician, boy I can take that to the bank!


But seeing as how the original story came from her not disagreeing with Lantos's assertion that she might want to go -- and there's no detail on whether a reporter even asked her a follow-up question -- you're left with A) a direct statement saying she's not going vs. B) speculation that was not denied or clarified until she was asked, in which case she gave you A.

Therefore, you'd have to come back around to A - that she has no intention to go. Otherwise, why not just make up whatever shit you want?
