Leader Pelosi does her ownbacking up of her denseness and or subterfuge, with comic book pronouncements. Qataris assure her Hamas is a humanitarian organization, we have to pass the bill to know what is in it. Those are just a couple of the fools hall of fame entries. And we ever want someone of this incapacity to be number three in line to lead this country? Bhhhh!

Nonsense. Judge Leon was more than fair to the NSA. He stayed his order against the NSA pending appeals, a recognition of the national security interests and novel constitutional issues. The judge even warned the Government to prepare to comply with his order if their appeal is rejected, or face sanctions.

Nope, still missing the point. You all are talking about her bad behavior, her

Whether Pelosi or Wilson was right is not the issue. Your selective outrage about bad behavior, because of your own political ideology, is.

Well, jazzarama, Judge Leon has not ruled on the NSA metadata collection action.

Wilson didn't display bad behavior. He addressed the House openly as per the rules. Pelosi went on a rampage without addressing the House. She made a individual attack without being recognized. She didn't address the membership of the House. She made her attack in an unprofessional manner. That is what makes the difference. That is why her behavior is out of line. Had she addressed and received recognition to address the House, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

"The precedents of the House allow a wide latitude in criticism of the President, other executive officials, and the government itself. However, it is not permissible to use language that is personally offensive to the President, such as referring to him as a “hypocrite” or a “liar.”

You think this is the first time? Go back just 6 years and see what was discussed on the floor of the House. Why would the President find such language offensive, when it is based in the truth? Furthermore, it is not the former speakers place to discipline or censor Mr Wilson. It is the current speakers place. By attacking him on the open floor of the house, the former speaker basically took that option out of the hands of the current speaker. She was out of line.

I thought of a great job for Ms. Pelosi after congress, one that would define here career and she could be herself: Now if someone in Hollywood can just do a remake of Sunset Blvd.


Of course, moviegoers would incur substantial therapy expense just form watching her "closeup" at the end.

Lol--but you are ok with Boehner as third in line? What a joke. The guy obviously cannot lead or control his own party, plus someone would have to find the bar he is in and sober him up.

He's just counting days to retire to that new million dollar Fla condo he bought--gotta keep the tan!
