Madam Speaker's Extraordinary Leadership

[hst2]

“You, Madam speaker — and the leadership — we thank you for the extraordinary leadership which you have given us in bringing us to the point where we are today,” Rep. John Dingell, the Michigan Democrat who's dean of the House, said on the floor Saturday night. He was praising a woman who helped strip him of his chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce Committee less than a year ago and once backed a primary challenger against him in Michigan’s 15th District.

For all the work that went into pulling together the votes for the bill – the president, Cabinet secretaries, legions of White House aides, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s deft touch with conservative Blue Dogs and senior lawmakers, Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and his team of vote-counting lieutenants, progressive grassroots organizations and any number of others who could rightly take credit for a piece of the victory – no one could doubt that it took Pelosi’s leadership to deliver a congressional vote in favor of a national health care system that eluded President Bill Clinton, Sen. Ted Kennedy and Dingell’s father, who first introduced such a bill in 1943.

Does her health insurance bill cover botox, or will she still have to pay out of pocket for that?

As a woman, you must be especially proud of Madame Speaker's accomplishments.

Your right she did in this Bill what the USSR could not do,
Destroy America

[redleg]

So we have a SF Communist that has now rammed a health care destruction bill through the house, by giving away billions to buy the votes, and you are proud of her? No wonder we have a Chicago street thug as President.

She is a historic figure, Kandance, doing historic things. I believe we will see the image of her face engraved on a coin one day.

In Russian, maybe. With Marx or Stalin on the obverse.

Yeah, you keep dreaming. Perhaps you can establish a worship center in your neighborhood.

She certainly is consistent; she is a strange woman, from a strange family with strange ideas, currently living residing in a strange city.

Indeed. She may go down in history as one of the best Speakers, up there with Sam Rayburn.

Or like Ceasar's.

That's equivelant to saying that Charles Manson might go down in history as one of the best mass murderers. Of course, Pelosi might be up there with Stalin, Lenin, and Mao, but she'll have to kill a lot more people first.

A madam runs a whore house. Nice to see that she knows her place.

Good thing she worked her way to the top already. She'd never get there now.

On a coin? All she's missing is snakes for hair!

Now, hst2, tell us how Obama will get the bill put though the Senate before the end of the year like he promised.

She's very thirsty for some reason.
