The Speaker Speaks

As the lone person of the female persuasion on this blog, it is my sorrowful duty to report the following: July 22, 2009, CBS News reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says "Democrats have the votes to pass health care legislation in the House." October 21, 2009, The Hill reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says "House Democrats "definitely" have a health reform bill right now that could win 218 votes in the House." And then, just one day before Healthcare is to go to a vote, there is this: November 6, 2009, Gateway Pundit reports that "House Democrats acknowledged they don't yet have the votes to pass a sweeping overhaul of the nation's health care system." Now, I do not favor National Healthcare. The only things that should come between a woman and her doctor are the traditional barriers, like cold hands, clumsy probes, and rumpled suits. But I just cannot abide incompetence, even when it serves to defeat National Healthcare. Especially when incompetence is so publicly exhibited by a woman in the highest seats of power. It's simply an embarrassment. "Speaker," indeed. A perfect title for someone who is all inane talk, and no action. via email
