Arlen Specter Defends Pelosi, Attacks CIA
As if it weren’t already outrageous enough that Nancy Pelosi lied to the entire country and smeared the CIA last week regarding her prior knowledge of waterboarding, today it was taken up a notch.
Incredibly it was newly minted democrat Arlen Specter who chose to carry Nancy’s water. Like any good democrat he viciously attacked the CIA and brought up agency scandals of the 1980’s as proof CIA doesn’t tell the truth.
"The CIA has a very bad record when it comes to — I was about to say ‘candid’; that’s too mild — to honesty," Specter, a former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a lunch address to the American Law Institute. He cited misleading information about the agency’s involvement in mining harbors in Nicaragua and the Iran-Contra affair.
As loathsome as the democrats are when it comes to national security, this is just more than I can stomach.
What a bunch of low-down dirty cowards these democrats are. They don’t even have the balls to stand behind their decisions after 9/11 when everyone was just trying to keep this country safe.
Specter has always been an insufferable prick, but this is the most disgraceful thing he’s ever done.
I hope the CIA goes on a leaking marathon that drives Nancy Pelosi and her despicable cronies right out of Washington.
One of the reasons CIA had such piss poor intel on Iraq before the war is because the agency is deathly afraid of another scandal like ones in the 1980’s. They are the most risk-averse organization in the federal government.
They do anything to avoid a scandal, even if that means not getting critical intelligence. Democrats always strike fear into the hearts of the intelligence community every 10-15 years and make our country less safe.
It’s totally ridiculous to accuse the CIA of not informing Congress. Nancy is a filthy liar who’s not fit to serve anywhere.
Pelosi Adds $30 Million To Stimulus Bill For Protecting Mouse In San Francisco
San Francisco liberal Nancy Pelosi is determined to bring home the bacon. She has made sure to include more than $30 million dollars for wetlands restoration and preserving the habitat of the allegedly endangered salt marsh harvest mouse in San Francisco.
Talk about a pet project. A tiny mouse with the longtime backing of a political giant may soon reap the benefits of the economic-stimulus package.
Lawmakers and administration officials divulged Wednesday that the $789 billion economic stimulus bill being finalized behind closed doors in Congress includes $30 million for wetlands restoration that the Obama administration intends to spend in the San Francisco Bay Area to protect, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi represents the city of San Francisco and has previously championed preserving the mouse’s habitat in the Bay Area.
Congress benefits from the fact that most Americans don’t pay attention to what’s going on in this country. They occasionally tune in to news and hear liberal garbage about the coming apocalypse if we don’t pass a $1 trillion dollar stimulus porkulus bill. It’s incredibly misleading when president Obama tells the public that this abomination of a bill contains “no earmarks.” Basically, the entire f*cking bill is an earmark. It’s a grab bag of every liberal project ever thought up in the last 40 years for states and the federal government.
Restoring wetlands and protecting a mouse that environmental extremists cry about is not stimulus and it’s not gonna help the economy. Everything liberals have ever dreamed of passing, but could never get the votes for has been thrown into this bill and called “stimulus.”
Every single republican should vote against this outrageous bill. Arlen Spector, Susan Collins, and any other republican who votes for this pig should be challenged in the next primary. I’m all in favor of bipartisanship, but this bill is a pig and it’s unthinkable for any republican (any real republican) to support it.
What the f*ck is going on in this country? Has everybody completely lost their f*cking mind?

Pelosi In Favor Of Bringing Back “Fairness Doctrine”
John Gizzi over at Human Events had the opportunity to speak with Nancy Pelosi yesterday. Gizzi asked her what she thought about Rep. Mike Pence’s bill to kill any future “Fairness Doctrine” proposals once and for all. She said his bill would not see the light of day and would not be allowed on the floor for a vote.
Pelosi went on to say that she’s in fact a strong supporter of bringing back the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.” For those who don’t know what the Fairness Doctrine is, let me briefly explain.
The Fairness Doctrine was ended under the Reagan Administration, but liberals have dreamt of bringing it back for decades. What it did was force radio stations to give equal time by law to opposing viewpoints. Meaning that if a radio station allows Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh to have 4 hours of air time, then by law that same radio station would have to allow a 4 hour block of time for a left-wing radio show as well.
The reason that’s completely insane is that it destroys the concept of free markets. Why should a radio audience be forced to listen to something they don’t want to? Right now the free market dictates who’s on the radio. If a liberal can attract listeners he/she is more than welcome to have a radio program.
Liberals want the Fairness Doctrine because they can’t get an audience on their own. So now they want the government to step in and force people to listen to what they have to say.
The irony here is that liberals control every single medium except talk radio, so it should be conservatives who want more “fairness.” But conservatives aren’t interested in the government telling anyone else what they have to listen to.
It’s pretty amazing that left-wingers aren’t content with owning the print media, network news, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, and a large chunk of the blogosphere.

Clinton Backers Warn Pelosi
From Reuters:
A group of prominent Hillary Clinton donors sent a letter to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday asking her to retract her comments on superdelegates and stay out of the Democratic fight over their role in the presidential race.
The 20 prominent Clinton supporters told Pelosi she should “clarify” recent statements to make it clear superdelegates — nearly 800 party insiders and elected officials who are free to back any candidate — could support the candidate they think would be the best nominee.
Pelosi Turns Congressional Cafeteria Into Gourmet Experience
A revolution is afoot at the deli counters, grills and salad bars of the U.S. House of Representatives.
According to Politico, the cafeteria in The U.S. House of Representatives is now a very different place.
The processed cheese has been replaced with brie. The Jell-O has made way for raspberry kiwi tarts and mini-lemon blueberry trifles. Meatloaf has moved over for mahi mahi and buns have been shunted aside in favor of baguettes.
The menu transformation is part of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “Greening the Capitol” plan to make the House campus more environmentally friendly and “socially progressive.”
Some employees are complaining that this new “socially progressive” campus is also becoming progressively more expensive.
“It’s a big jump from high school cafeteria to fancy-pants gourmet. I just wish my pay improved,” said Caryn Schenewerk, a staffer for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.).
House officials counter that the fresher and more varied foods were indeed more expensive but that they had tried to preserve low-cost alternatives such as pizza, sandwiches and prepared salads, which remain around the same price.
When you actually read what some of the new meal choices are you really can’t help but laugh. The food sounds good, but it just seems out of place in the congressional cafeteria.
You can now get pan-roasted Chesapeake rockfish with sweet potato fennel hash and yellow pepper relish. Or something a bit lighter like Pears with Stilton cheese and watercress.
Staffers who find themselves emotional and weary after a long day fighting for a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq might wish to dine on Cumin-scented leg of lamb with almond couscous.
There are also vegetables with funny names, like bok choy, arugula and jicama. There are baked goods with Italian names, like biscotti, focaccia and frittati.
With the immigration debate raging it only made sense to put something besides “Juan Valdez” in the vending machine that sells coffee.
Employees can now enjoy more politically neutral coffee from famed chef Wolfgang Puck, in flavors like “Vive la Crème Caramel” and “Tropic of Chocolate.”
Even the things that haven’t changed seem odd because their names are in foreign languages. The taco bar is the “Taqueria.” The grill is “A la Plancha.” The salad bar has expanded to “Salad/Antipasti.”
A person eating in the cafeteria is also afforded the opportunity to save the earth in a variety of new ways.
Regular trash bins have been replaced with recycling stations. Each station has four differently shaped slots to sort garbage and lengthy directions on proper sorting. Soup containers go into the square-shaped “compostable” slot, but soup lids end up in the rounded “landfill waste” slot.
Other environmental touches include Energy-efficient vending machines that sport a 6-foot-tall illuminated image of trees.
A poster trumpets the existence of a “pulper,” a big machine that mashes up waste into little cubes that go to compost centers, where, eventually, they biodegrade into dirt.
Nearly everything in the new cafeterias is biodegradable, from plates to utensils to straws. The biodegradable straws have caused considerable outcry, because when placed in hot liquids they allegedly disintegrate.
House officials contend that employees need to quit crying about the straws and sip their coffee like normal human beings, because “we’re trying to save the planet here.”
There is absolutely nothing wrong with making the cafeteria more environmentally friendly and the food a bit better quality.
The hilarious part of all this is the menu. Those menu choices certainly validate the stereotype of “liberal elites” and “limousine liberals” being so out of touch with ordinary Americans.
It is certainly a bit presumptuous on Nancy Pelosi’s part to assume that most people would want expensive gourmet cuisine.
I also suspect PETA may take issue with the idea that being “socially progressive” is munching on lamb legs.

Pelosi: Republicans “like” Iraq War
It took a while, but I think Nancy Pelosi is finally starting to understand the Iraq war debate.
“They like this war. They want this war to continue,” Pelosi, D- Calif., told reporters. She expressed frustration over Republicans’ ability to force majority Democrats to yield ground on taxes, spending, energy, war spending and other matters.
“We thought that they shared the view of so many people in our country that we needed a new direction in Iraq,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference in the Capitol. “But the Republicans have made it very clear that this is not just George Bush’s war. This is the war of the Republicans in Congress.”
Yes, Nancy that’s what we’ve been trying to tell you all this time! Republican’s DO NOT share your view that we need a new direction in Iraq, because we already have one.
