Neville Nancy promised that in the first one hundred legislative hours of the new Democrat Congress they change the world. What have they done?
Writing in the Huffington Post last year she promised everything from an increase in the minimum wage to funds for stem cell research to America "achieving energy independence."
Neville Nancy's first one hundred hours were up a long time ago. Now that Neville Nancy's first one hundred days as Speaker for Syria have come and gone, how many of these bills have reached the President's desk?
Go on, think carefully. This was vital legislation for Democrats who control both the House and Senate. How many of these critical bills have they sent to President Bush for his signature?
0!
None, zip, nada, zilch.
The masters of excuse and self delusion who defend Pelosi and any other Democrat from criticism no matter what will no doubt trot out another broken record blaming it all on the Republicans in the Senate.
But we might ask them to reflect on what Democrats in the Senate have been doing with their time. Instead of trying to find common legislative ground with their Republican colleagues they have been engaged in some of the harshest partisan witch hunts and fishing expeditions aimed at attacking President Bush and members of his Administration.
And yet, despite hiring rafts of new young lawyers to pore over thousands of subpoenaed documents relating to Attorney General Gonzales's firing of a handful of U.S. Attorneys they've yet to come up with anything but the old perjury trap game of trying to find some minor inconsistency based on accounts of meetings from various busy people which occurred months or years before.
The effort has all the credibility of the politically motivated charges so clearly exposed in the recent Duke Lacrosse Player case. And yet Democrats persist.
Karl Rove is the ultimate target of this transparent frame up and we're perhaps wondering whether he isn't engineering the whole phony scandal just to weaken the Democrats ability to get work done on the other elements of their legislative agenda.
On the one important piece of legislation passed by both houses requiring an end to American combat involvement in Iraq by March 2008 Neville Nancy couldn't even bother to appoint the necessary committee to work with members of the Senate on finalizing the bill which also contains vital funding for our troops. She initially refused to even discuss the matter with President Bush. Apparently she was too busy planning her next surrender tour to one of our enemies.
Swift Boat Neville Nancy
Considering the avalanche of negative press Neville Nancy received from her media allies, it's no surprise that we've seen the first of what I hope is many political ads to bring Neville Nancy's shameful, egotistical and dangerous behavior to light. The woman who daily demands accountability from every member of the Bush Administration should be held to the same standard.
Naturally, Democrats who think that one sided accountability is the natural order of things are outraged and called this first ad the "Swiftboating of Nancy Pelosi" which brings back painful memories (in their eyes only) of what happened to John Kerry who ran for President as a war hero but couldn't answer the criticism of his war conduct coming from some of the men who served with him in Vietnam.
Memories of the Swift Boat Vets for Truth may make Democrats see more red than a May Day Parade in Moscow, but they bring memories of joy to every American spared the national humiliation and defeat which would surely have been the hallmarks of a Kerry presidency.
The headline Associated Press Report on Neville Nancy's first hundred days said "Pelosi Survives 1st 100 Days as Speaker." And as Neville Nancy's approval ratings continue to drop and the illusions of Democrats doing the work of the people are swept away we can only encourage additional efforts to expose Democrats for what they are. If that's swiftboating, then so be it!
