What did Pelosi say yesterday to get GO-Panties all in a wad?
I hear everybody on the tee-vee complaining about what she said, but nobody's saying what she said that got them so offended. Not like that matters, because it didn't sway any votes either way, but SOME facts would be nice.

3. I think they were hoping she would figuratively fellate them for their
tepid support. When that didn't happen they took their ball and went home...

5. She called them poopyheads
She didn't really bash anyone but the Bush administration's failed policies.

She told the truth.

I don't believe Bonerhead had the votes anyway and this was their excuse.

At any rate, they came out looking like cry babies.

economic policies aren't working.


This stunning truth hurt their fee-weeings. So the big, brave Republicans took their marbles and went home to play.

"When was the last time someone asked you for $700 billion?

It is a number that is staggering, but tells us only the costs of the Bush Administration's failed economic policies--policies built on budgetary recklessness, on an anything goes mentality, with no regulation, no supervision, and no discipline in the system."

8. She said the American People don't want to throw a blank check at the Republicans who made this mess
Oh, golly gee whiz! One or two dems voted for that crap too, therefore the Dems should go to jail in an equal number to the many, many criminal Republicans.

They will do and say ANYTHING to avoid taking responsibility and showing accountability.

15. Pelosi told the truth
They (GOP) couldn't take it. Seems they like to believe in fairy tales too much. I think you already read her speech by now with links left by other posters.
