Nothing pleases the primitives, the ungrateful brutes.
Here, Bela Pelosi and Old Harry are the best the Democrats have to offer, and the primitives aren't happy.

Pelosi acquitted herself quite well tonight on The Daily Show
i've been disappointed lately but i liked hearing her explanations.
also thought Jon Stewart did a decent job pressing her.

1. She could have been a great House Speaker but she disappointed me and a lot of others.

2. I'll look forward to when it's available online.
I find it hard to believe that she had an explanation for any of her actions (or the lack thereof).
Thanks for the note.

6. If it did, I missed it. I'm sorry. She sounded like she was making excuses to me.

5. She has time to do the Daily Show but no time for a town hall here in over two years. Maybe it's just my bias but :wtf:
No, it's called "wise allocation of scarce time" or "prioritizing."
Showing up on a nationally-televised program, or answering stupid questions and "demands" by Doug's ex-wife, the stupidest person on the whole internet? Which is a better use of time?

7. She was promoting her new book on the show.. town halls don't give her national exposure..she has time to write a book but no time for impeachment?
Have our congress critters turned into nothing more than book shills?

8. I've watched her do almost nothing, and do it poorly, for 18 months.
Nothing she says on any talk show will change that. She has failed as a Speaker of the House. She is the worst Democratic speaker of the House in many decades. She's been weak, incompetent, and worst of all - COWARDLY.
And that useless senate limp noodle from Nevada, Harry Reid, is almost as bad. He's got the 60 vote excuse, but Madame Speaker has no excuse.
I dunno.
When it comes to sheer carnality and greed and corruption and decadence, I rather think Tipsy O'Neill was the worst Democrat Speaker of the House in many decades. The guy was slime.

10. Write a book while ignoring her responsibilities to the constitution then sell the ghost written crap on all the news shows for millions. She acts just like a republicon.
Alas! the poor primitives! never happy! the poor primitives! alas!
