The Politico: [1]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says a swipe that Vice President Cheney took at Democratic House leaders is “beneath the dignity of his office.”
Capitol Hill was abuzz Thursday with discussion of the vice president’s assertion in an interview with Politico that House Democratic leaders had been surprisingly supine: “They are not carrying the big sticks I would have expected.”
Cheney added that when he served in the House, “We would not have had a Speaker who, from my perspective, is that far out of the sort of mainstream — she is a San Francisco Democrat, certainly entitled to her views, but able to dictate policy as effectively as she apparently does to the rest of the caucus.”
It’s amazing to me, just what will set these morons off. Tell me what’s untrue about what Cheney said. The fact of the matter is that the house speaker is dramatically out of step with mainstream America, and her “leadership” has been an abysmal failure since the day after her coronation. To swipe a phrase; Com’on, Democrats, Even you can do better.
Memeorandum has some reax.

Dignity, Mrs Pelosi?
