Nancy Pelosi vs. the CIA
At first blush, you might think, Pelosi vs. the CIA: a no-brainer, right? However, the CIA under Obama is not the CIA under Bush. For instance, although CIA Chief Leon Panetta issued a stern denial that the CIA ever misled Congress, as Pelosi claims, at the same time, the CIA rejected a request by former Vice President Dick Cheney to declassify memos that Cheney has said show that the interrogations helped disrupt terror plots.
I'm watching all of this unfold and I'm thinking there is no way she escapes this with her job let alone her speakership intact. Then, its like, what was I thinking? She's a Democrat.
ReplyDeleteIts despicable, Trent Lott lost his speakership just for saying something at Strom Thurmond's birthday party. Unbelievable!!
Like Rush said, I'm a bit concerned that the CIA has the power to bring down a speaker although seriously I don't mind about Pelosi who should be gone. But I'd rather the Democat party go to her and say you're gone. Like the Repubs did with Nixon.
