Nancy Pelosi - Yes You Can Be Dumber Than A Box of Rocks

If someone were to say "Stupid Liberal" and "Nancy Pelosi" in the same sentence it would be very redundant.


Some Great Pelosi Quotes:


Pelosi Quote - “It is a decision of the Supreme Court. So this is almost as if God has spoken.”

Pelosi Response on Abortion - "I would say that, as an ardent practicing Catholic, this is an issue that I have studied for a long time, and what I know is, over the centuries, the Doctors of the Church have not been able to make that definition ...The point is, that it shouldn't have an impact on the woman's right to choose,"

Are you kidding me? We can't define it, so it's ok to kill it?

Pelosi Quote On Alternative Fuel - "I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels," she says. Natural gas "is cheap, abundant and clean compared to fossil fuels,"

NATURAL GAS IS A FOSSIL FUEL!!!!

Pelosi Quote On The Trillions spent in so call stimulus money - "Every month we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans will loose their jobs"

How many people live in the US again? Somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 million last I checked ... and thats every man woman and child ... not the work force.


For those that have not kept up. Pelosi is caught in yet another lie. I am posting the Rush Limbaugh segment he did not this mainly because I just don't have the time to write 2 pages on the subject. Thought this was a good read though.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You want to hear a little bit of Nancy Pelosi flailing around today? By the way, Bill Sammon had the greatest take. Bill Sammon is the Washington bureau chief at Fox News, and after Pelosi went out there with version 5.0 of -- Oh, before I get to Sammon, folks, the fireworks have just begun here because she today said that the CIA is lying. She came out and said the CIA is lying. Now, when you do that, when the Speaker of the House says the CIA is lying, well, the fun hasn't even begun yet. I guarantee you, I stand by my theory of yesterday, Obama has her right where he wants her now. I don't think there's any love lost between Steny Hoyer and what's-her-face, nor is there any love lost between Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel.

There's a story in the New York Times today that is a result of Pelosi leaking. I think there's a game going on behind the scenes, Pelosi saying, "Hey, boys, you want to hang me out to dry, look what I can do to you." I will, of course, explain all this as the program unfolds before your very eyes and ears. However, Bill Sammon's take on this, after Pelosi spoke today, after her press conference, Bill Sammon said, (paraphrasing) "The irony of all of this is that the Democrats, particularly specifically the Speaker of the House, the Democrats that are now the ones on the heat, getting the heat, on defensive over torture." Somehow the Democrats, you put a bag of manure in front of them and they'll step in it. And somehow they have taken what was a godsend for them, Bush was responsible for everything, and look who now is on defensive about torture, who knew about it and didn't say anything about it to stop it, a Democrat, and the Speaker of the House, no less. Now, this is why, ladies and gentlemen, I always encourage people never to give up, never to quit, because you never know what's going to happen day to day in politics. Things can change on a dime, and aside from me, it's very difficult to predict what is going to happen. I know liberals like every square inch of my glorious naked body, and they're going to get tripped up by this stuff because this country is not a liberal country, and the truth does not require a majority to win out. Never forget that. This may be a profundity of mine that you will remember for the rest of your life. The truth does not require a majority to prevail. The truth is its own power. The truth will out. That's the reason for the phrase, the truth will out. You just have to be patient. Sometimes you can't force it. Sometimes people on your own side are dunderheads and they're not willing to move the ball along as eagerly as you would like them to. But the truth will out. The truth does not require a majority to prevail.

Now, here's Pelosi. After the press conference, and, by the way, she forgot herself during this thing. She had to consult her written statement, she was nervous, those eyes are blinking left and right. She gets a lot of exercise when she blinks. Do you realize the muscle exertion required for Nancy Pelosi to blink? So if she works out daily she can skip it today because she had it during the press conference. After the press conference, a reporter said, "Regardless of the individual who told you that these techniques were being used, and regardless of the venue in which you learned of this fact, does not the foreknowledge of the use of these techniques make you complicit in their use?"

PELOSI: No. This is a policy that has been -- was conceived and implemented by the Bush administration, that they notified Congress that they had legal opinions, saying that this was legal, but they would let us know if they were planning to use them, is what they briefed us on. It does not make me complicit, no.

RUSH: This is a Drive-By Media question. A whole lot of Republican media don't exist, number one, and two, they didn't get into this thing. If you would have heard the question, it was a New Castrati guy, (impersonating New Castrati) "Does not this make you complicit in the use of these techniques, Mrs. Speaker?" PELOSI:"No, no, it doesn't, it doesn't."

Two things, there were two briefings, a September 2nd briefing where the CIA said that they were going to use enhanced interrogation techniques. Then there was a second briefing five months later. At the second briefing Pelosi is not the Speaker, she is the chairman of the intel committee, and she didn't go, she didn't go. She said she was not briefed in the second meeting. She was told what happened in the second meeting, by Jane Harman, and when Jane Harman wrote a letter objecting to all this, Pelosi said, (paraphrasing) "Well, I didn't have to do anything, Jane Harman," she's the chairman of the committee, "I didn't have to do anything, Jane Harman took care of it. Besides, I was fighting a war in Iraq at the time." Now, my trusted and loyal audience, what the hell does that mean? Does it mean when she was fighting a war in Iraq, does it mean she was opposing the war in Iraq, or that she was engaged in the war in Iraq with the administration trying to prevail over Saddam Hussein? That's open to interpretation. Here's the next question and answer. Unidentified reporter says, "But Mr. Sheehy, you say he did tell you and your staff did tell you.

PELOSI: So, my statement is clear, and let me read it again, let me read it again. I'm sorry, I have to find the --

RUSH: Stop the tape here. Now, recue this. This is something that I know as a highly trained broadcast specialist, renowned public speaker, if it's in your heart, you don't need a statement. If it's in your heart and if you're telling the truth, you don't need to find your statement, you don't need to read anything. The reason you have a statement and the reason you read it is because you've gotta be precise because you're on the edges. You're on the edges. Somebody telling you the truth, somebody telling you what they really believe, they don't need to write it down, don't need a speech. So here it is again, "But Mr. Sheehy, you say he did tell you, your staff did tell you.

PELOSI: So, my statement is clear, and let me read it again, let me read it again. I'm sorry, I have to find the page. I was informed that Department of Justice opinions had concluded that the use of enhanced interrogations was legal. The only mention of waterboarding was that the briefing -- in the briefing was that it was not being employed when my staff person -- (shuffling pages) I'm sorry, I had the pages out of order. (shuffling pages) Five months later, my staff person told me that there had been a briefing, informed me that there had been a briefing and that a letter had been sent. I was not briefed on what was in that briefing; I was just informed that the briefing had taken place.

RUSH: That's just hard to believe. She's chairman of the intel committee at the time. This is the second briefing. The first was September '02. The second was five months later. And Jane Harman went in there, she's chairman of the committee, and all they told her, (paraphrasing) "Hey, by the way, we had a meeting with the CIA, okay, don't worry, don't bother me, I'm fighting a war in Iraq." Nobody told her what was in the meeting; nobody briefed her as to what was said? Uh, sorry. I think not even the libs are going to buy this, not even her buddies are going to buy this. Another unidentified reporter, "Madam Speaker, just to be clear, you're accusing the CIA of lying to you in September of 2002?"

PELOSI: Misleading the Congress of the United States.

REPORTER: And also --

PELOSI: Misleading the Congress of the United States. Yes, I am saying that they are misleading -- that the CIA was misleading the Congress. And at the same time, the administration was misleading the Congress on the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, to which I said this intelligence does not support the imminent threat, to which the press asked the same question you just did now, "Are you accusing them of lying?" I said, "I'm just stating a fact."

RUSH: All right, so here she's trying to skate by on this by saying, hey, the CIA, everybody knows they misled us on weapons of mass destruction. She's just trying to couple that with the fact that she was misled on waterboarding. But this is the one where the fireworks are going to begin. George Tenet is out there somewhere. Don't forget, George Tenet is out there. He got a medal. They gave him a medal when he retired. He's out there somewhere. Porter Goss is out there somewhere. All these CIA people and the people inside, they're out there, and the Speaker of the House has just said directly that they lied to her. Ha, folks, hee-hee-hee. What is this, the 14th of May? By tonight, maybe tomorrow, it's going to be Fourth of July fireworks time all over the Drive-By news cycle. One more before we go to the break. She's splitting hairs here on not being briefed, but being informed. But then in the next sentence you'll hear her say she wasn't informed after saying she was informed, not briefed. Question: "In that press conference, we were all fairly trying to get at the broader question of whether you knew about waterboarding at all. And the idea that we got from you was that you were never told that waterboarding was being used, but now we know that later in February you were told. It wasn't in that briefing, but you were told. You were adamant that you didn't know waterboarding was being used, but you were told."

PELOSI: The point is is that I wasn't briefed, I was told -- informed that someone else had been briefed about it. I'm only speaking from my -- I don't have to stand (unintelligible) this. I'm only speaking from my own experience, and we were told that it was not being used. Subsequently, the other members of the committee were informed.

REPORTER: And so were you.

PELOSI: No, I wasn't informed. I was informed that a -- a briefing had taken place. Now, you have to look at what they briefed those members. I was not briefed that. I was only informed that they were briefed, but I did not get the briefing.

RUSH: Okay, so she was informed before she wasn't informed, after everybody else was briefed. Remember all these past occasions where we've played audio sound bites from the Speaker of the House and with great compassion we have asked, "Is this woman bright or is this pure political calculation?" Nancy Pelosi is so clumsy at this. Liberals lie, by definition liberalism has to obscure what it really believes. Obama and Bill Clinton make this look easy. It's like I've always asked you people, don't try what I do at home. The great make it look easy. Pelosi thinks that she can pull off Obama and Clinton, but it's obvious that she can't. It's a real talent to be able to lie. It's a real talent to be able to throw blame elsewhere and have people love you and believe you. This just didn't work today. It didn't work for the Speaker of the House.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: One more audio sound bite visa Nancy Pelosi. This is last night on Hannity's show on Fox. He had Karl Rove on. Question: "Steny Hoyer yesterday was reportedly saying, 'Yes, we're going to have to this truth commission, what did they know, when did they know it,' Pelosi and torture so forth, and everybody interpreted that to mean what did Nancy Pelosi know and when did she know it. Is there a little infighting for power in the Democrat House?"ROVE: Are these Democrats now willing to say, you know, Nancy Pelosi knew about these techniques, she was complicit in them, she remained silent, she in fact encouraged their use, are they now willing to say she was an accomplice and has to be investigated and prosecuted? If not, then we can all conclude that this is nothing but political showmanship and an attempt to smear the previous administration. If they can't be consistent with Nancy Pelosi's lies then we can dismiss them as being serious questions.RUSH: And that is an excellent point. If we're going to go after and try to destroy Bush and Cheney on this whole torture business, and Pelosi knew about it and didn't say anything and didn't stop it, and they don't go after Pelosi, then they're finished. Dick Cheney gets results. To the phones we go. We're going to start where? San Francisco. This is Dave. You're up first. It's great to have you here. Hello.

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I appreciate you taking the call first and, like I told Snerdley, there are still a few of us left out here in the western leftist coast. But my comment is pretty straightforward. I want to draw a parallel between Nancy Pelosi basically saying I didn't get the briefing. I can't believe that some staffer then didn't take a recorded, you know, written down -- they gotta have a report on these briefings. She should have read that. And the parallel is they're saying they passed the stimulus bill, but they never did. They didn't read that. And now she's saying I did this other thing, and I agreed to all this and let it go by my desk --

RUSH: Well, the stimulus bill, she wrote that, so she didn't need to read it.

CALLER: That's so true, exactly my point. It is a bold-faced lie or she did in fact read it.RUSH: Well, nobody's believing that she did not know what was briefed. Jane Harman sent a letter. Now, Jane Harman and Pelosi don't get along, and they haven't for a long time. It's Queen Bee Syndrome. It's the Queen Bee Syndrome. And, by the way, I want to warn all of you, lurking in the background invisible in all of this is Mrs. Clinton. Keep in mind Mrs. Clinton is there and Pelosi may be in the process of self-destructing, and Obama, who knows in four years what his fate is going to be. Pelosi whacked Harman. She was supposed to chair the intel committee and Harman didn't get it, Queen Bee Syndrome. But you're right, common sense. She's the chairman of the committee. She is a control freak. She knows everything going on in her committee and in her caucus. And on this one instance, well, there was a briefing but I wasn't told, I didn't know, I was busy, I was fighting the Iraq war at the time. But don't confuse it with the stimulus, because she wrote that, she knows every syllable in the stimulus.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Nancy Pelosi fighting for her career today in Washington. She is being waterboarded, finding out what it's like. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip.


BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Dave, thanks for calling and thanks for waiting. Welcome to the program.

CALLER: Well, it's a pleasure to talk to you. With Nancy Pelosi and her little speech this morning, she said that she wants the records released. Well, I think she's banking on that she doesn't want those records released because of national security -- and if President Obama does release those records, I think he's going to have a tough time passing any of his agendas for the rest of this year. What's your opinion?RUSH: Well, the records will get released. CIA will take care of that.

CALLER: Okay. But I just got a feeling --

RUSH: You'll read about it in the newspaper. You'll see about it on Chris Matthews at night. You'll see it on MSNBC or in the New York Times, Washington Post. The records will get released one way or the other. Maybe not officially, but they will.

CALLER: Okay. Okay. Then she should have nothing to worry about then, should she?RUSH: She has everything in the world to worry about. That's why the records are gonna get released. If she's telling the truth, the records... Again, she's fighting for her career. That's what this is about. She knows full well that she's fighting for her career, and so she's going, "Okay, boys. It's big time here. You want to come after me? Fine. Go ahead," and she's out there saying, "They lied. CIA misled Congress, misled me, just like Bush misled me! Bush misled me on weapons of mass destruction. Bush misled all of us." Remember that line? Well, they got all the congressional briefings on weapons of mass destruction, too. Bush didn't get anything more than they got, especially the select committees on intelligence in the House and the Senate.

Star Trek - Going Boldly Where We Probably Should Not Go

People keep asking me for my thoughts on the new Star Trek movie ... so here you go.





Going to see this movie I tried to remind myself "hold your judgment, give it a chance" - and I did to the bitter end. And while the film certainly had its enjoyable moments, seeing it was a a little bittersweet, sometimes more bitter than sweet. After all I have been watching Star Trek about as far back as I can remember. From the original to Voyager "with the exception of Enterprise" to every movie I have been a fan. Now I am not one of these dress up like an idiot to go see the movie fans, but if you take a look back at all Star Trek has contributed over the years you have to be impressed. The first punk kid that defies this I will snatch their little flip cell phone out of their hand and say "any idea where this little concept came from". Can you say beam me up Scotty!


Anyway ....



The opening scene left me wanting a little more. The attempt to rush George Kirk's (Jim's father) death, the happiness of Jim's birth, and baby naming into a minute long conversation during a joyride into the center of the badass Romulan ship was a good foreshadow into what the movie would be ... rushed, as action always took priority over good drama. I think far to much was rushed in this movie and given a little more time and overall respect it could have been great.



This was a film that seemed to be ashamed of what Star Trek has built, and determined to replace it with a more "current" action packed story that missed the boat on creating something really special.



It was not enough to see Kirk run into the bridge to save the life of the Enterprise Crew, he had to have hands swelled up like the biscuits and McCoy constantly giving him painful hyposprays for comedic effect. It wasn't enough for Kirk to be chased by one ferocious snow creature when he was marooned. Instead that creature had to be eaten up ***Star Wars style*** by a far more ridiculous creature that would have fit right in Stephen King's "The Mist". It wasn't enough just to get Mr. Scott to the Enterprise, we had to have him fly through a bunch of water tubing just for fun. This was probably the low point of the movie that reminded me a little of an old Charlie & The Chocolate Factory scene.



I think this movie seemed to ignore what Star Trek has established in over 40 years, despite the promises from the filmmakers that it would not. You can see this with the head villain "Nero" that completely screwed up the timeline so now we can do ANYTHING we want with your beloved Star Trek. The most important alien planet in Star Trek "aside from Earth" is quickly destroyed and this is quickly passed over, excepted, and the movie moves on. Engineering was turned into something resembling the basement of a 20th century waste water facility. The phasers (both hand and ship ones) were changed from the straight beams to "pew-pew-pew" shooters much more suited for Han Solo's than Star Trek. Not to mention a lot of other changes and holes that did not really seem to fit.



I think I am just more pissed by the big-middle-finger given to fans to establish the alternate timeline deal. Star Trek has always been praised for both spurring new scientific advances, and at least somewhat representing current science. This movie left a lot unexplained for the viewer to just accept and move on.



The acting was not what made this film fall short ... it was the writing and production. I will say this with the exception of turning Ohura "the only black actress I ever really respected" into a teenage hormone driven girl that would have been better suited for another teenage high school movie. The whole relationship thing with Spock really struck a nerve with me as Spock was never some emoution driven relationship having character. It was worth the price of admission to see Leonard Nimoy as Spock again, despite the whole "oops I let Romulus get blown up" with no real effort on his part to stop anything.



The cheap laughs from the lines you expect our dear characters to say were delivered, if just to fill a requirement. This might be the funniest of all the Star Trek films, but Star Trek isn't comedy. I can laugh with everyone else, but at the end of the day, I didn't feel like I was laughing with the movie, I felt like I was laughing at it.


All in all it was action packed and a decent ride. The movie will draw in a whole new crowd of fans as it had little to do with what Star Trek is, and more to do with new special effects, flashing lights and action to draw more money in.

Terrorists Captured By US To Get Welfare ... I can't make this stuff up!

Terrorists Captured By US To Get Welfare

http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2009/03/welfare_for_freed_gitmo_detain_1.asp



Just reading the headline should get anyones blood boiling. Yes thats right ladies and gentlemen. The Obama administration has found a wonderful way to spend our money yet again. Thats right ... prisoners captured by US forces as recruits for terrorist actions, held at Guantanamo Bay are no eligible for Welfare.

I swear ... only a stupid liberal democrat could think this up. I can see Obama behind the oval office desk talking to Pelosi and Biden ..........


Obama: Here is what were going to do guys ... I am going to close down Guantanamo Bay

Biden: Thats a great idea. I was behind closing Guantanamo Bay back in the 70's

Obama: Guantanamo Bay has only been open since 1987 ... will someone please get me a gag for Biden!

Pelosi: I think thats a great idea, but how can we tie this into our new socialist government.

Obama: Good question. First I need a place to send the terrorist were holding at Gitmo. No other country on the place of the planet wants them, and no states are willing to except them into prisons ... hey wait a sec. Pelosi, your the congresswoman from CA right?

Pelosi: Don't even think about it!

Biden: Think about what?

Obama: Shut up Biden. Pelosi, you have Alcatraz right in your back yard.

Pelosi: Don't even think about it!

Biden: Think about what?

Obama: SHUT UP BIDEN. - Pelosi, this would be perfect! Not only that but you would be backing your great liberal leader!

Pelosi: I said ... Don't even think about it!

Biden: I still don't get it ... think about what?

Obama & Pelosi: SHUT UP BIDEN!!

Obama: Ok, so you don't want the terrorist either. Just great. No what am I gonna do with them. Wait, I've got it. Will take the terrorist that are "not so bad" and just make them free men here in the US. Never mind that they have been brain washed to hate the US and all it stands for. But just to be on the safe side we will give them a Welfare check since no one in there right minds would hire these guys.

Secret Service Guy In The Corner: But would they not just use the money were handing them to continue terrorist activities. I mean this is just ludicrous! You going to set these guys free and give them money. What the hell are you thinking by ....

Obama: - ::: Snaps fingers and looks at a much higher paid secret service guy:::

BANG

Secret Service Guy In The Corner: - ::: Falls to the floor:::

Obama: now that were agreed, I will go notify the AP, CNN, NBC, and the papers. Never mind that they probably won't report it, but if they do it will sound much better coming from them.

Pelosi: I will go to work on getting these guys voting rights for the 2012 election!

Biden: Where am I?

-------------------------------

Ok, so this didn't really happen. But you got to wonder how this brilliant idea came about. I mean really, this is simple math people ... and math was my wost subject.


Trained Terrorist + US Funding = Bad Idea

Obama Ignores National Day of Prayer, Instead Goes To Hell ... Literally

I felt this post was best suited falling on National Day of Prayer eve.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/06/obamas-decision-observe-prayer-day-privately-draws-public-criticism/

Ok, so it should be no secret by now that Obama has decided to shrug off the National Day of Prayer. You know ... the day that every other living president since the founding in 1952 has honored.

For the past 8 years the White House has honored this day with a service in the East Room. From Truman to Bush Jr ... with the exception of Bill Clinton (as much of a mockery would have been anyway) has held services or some form of event marking this day.

This year ... nothing. When asked why, the response was, "well, Obama prays everyday". This from the guy that has not been to 1 church service since he was elected president, has been behind abortion in all forms, gay rights, and the list goes on. I no more believe this man prays every day than I believe the moon is made of cheese. Oh ... I 100% believe he "preys" everyday. Maybe they should have got the White House to write that one down to get the spelling on that statement.

HOWEVER ... Obama did make time to go to Hell.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-05-05-burger_N.htm

Thats right ... the day before the National Day of Prayer Obama and Biden go to Ray's Hell Burger. Of course all of the presidents leg humpers were there (USA Today, CNN, NBC, etc). I guess with all going on in the world there was no bigger story to make headlines with.

Now I know what you thinking ... day of prayer ... hell burger ... bit of a stretch even for me. But you have to admit the timing is pretty ironic. It just made me sit back and take a look at the 2 idiots people elected.

You know ... my grandparents used to always ask me what I was going to be when I grew up. They would tell me I could be a doctor, lawyer, astronaut, or whatever I sat my eyes on. They even said that anyone could be president ... now I believe them.

So apparently I'm a bloging now.

I feel with everything going on in the country ... or what is left of it ... there is a lot people are missing. Lets face it, if it's not pro Obama or something to do with humping his leg the media is sure not going to show it. If anyone opposes Obama you are now labeled terrorist and a threat to the US. While I am sure there are many blogs that show different points of view ... these are mine.

... and I am sure there will be other fun stuff along the way.

Comments and opinions are always welcome as this is an open forum and it is of course your 1st amendment right.
