Nancy Pelosi's Pants Are On Fire!

Due to the fact that I have been in an undisclosed location for the past 10+ days, I have a lot to say... but I will make it short and sweet for all of my ADHD readers. First things first: I do not have the swine flu...sweet! Now that I don't have to worry about my untimely demise due to the H1-N1 virus, I can focus on more future house queenie things. What has me up in arms these days you ask? My answer... Lots. However, nothing has enraged me more in the past 1/3 month than Speaker Pelosi. Typical and predictable I know.

I assume that she (Ms. Pelosi) spent some time recently in Santa Barbara (perhaps she took her private jet) and somehow her polyester suit pants became a little too close to the blazing wildfires. This woman is a liar. She adamantly stated that she did not ever hear of water boarding in any briefing by the Bush administration. Whoops, Ms. Nancy! Apparently the CIA has different attendance sheets. Madam Speaker, you were briefed. Perhaps, instead of lying to your constituents and the American public you should keep things simple... tell the truth. I don't know, maybe that is too much to ask of our elected officials. I know they think this is the case... an inconvenient truth can easily be "handled" by bold faced lies. This sort of behavior is not tolerated in any kindergarten classroom, and should not be acceptable in congress.

Pelosi's fabrications in their own right are enraging. However, the most maddening part of the entire snafu is the very way she has handled the much deserved "heat" for her statements. Ms. Pelosi, if you cannot stand the heat, you had better get out of the kitchen. Her careful twisting of words, telling of half-truths, and overall smug attitude is disheartening at best. In fact, it falls far closer to disgusting. Clearly she assumes the American people are dim-witted and well, rather dumb. She has under estimated those who have given her the privilege to be the current queen of the house. Perhaps she should be a little less contrite, and a whole lot more conciliatory. Her job is on the line... and in the end, we the people hold the cards to her political future in our sweaty palms.

I hope that she resigns. We the people deserve better. At the very least, we deserve honesty. We should demand it. Without the burden of truth, our republic is in danger. Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson were adamant about truth. Lincoln was too. Pelosi, apparently not so much! Alas, much like my childhood dreams of living in a home constructed of sweet confections, or having 100 pet dogs who are of course all toilet trained, or being gifted all the royal gems by the queen of England for being the most queen-like person in the world, I presume that her resignation is just another one of my pipe dreams. But, a girl can still dream can't she?!?!
