This first paragraph says it all!
Nancy Pelosi has decided the next best thing to leaving Iraq is for Democrats to micromanage our forces there. As her broken promises on reforming Congress proved, the speaker cannot be trusted.
So this is a shocker? Not to the Chief, considering the subject, and apparently not to the writer either:
Low chicanery has come to be expected from the new speaker. As Washington’s Politico Web site noted this week, Pelosi’s promises of congressional reform have become a joke less than eight weeks into the 110th Congress. Her much-touted “five-day workweek” has happened once so far, Republicans have only one time been allowed to vote on a measure of their own, and her “100 hours” agenda took two weeks to complete.
Moreover, what Pelosi pledged would be “the most ethical Congress in history” has Rep. William Jefferson, found last year with $90,000 in alleged bribes hidden in his freezer, sitting on the House Homeland Security Committee, courtesy of the speaker.
When Bush solemnly swore to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, little did he know that one of those domestic enemies would be armed with a gavel.
Unfortunately, she’s not just an enemy of the President…we’re all at risk here.
