Nancy is back to her old tricks. This time she falls back on the old lefty tactic, blame it all on Bushitler:
“We all share great respect for the dedicated men and women of the intelligence community who are deeply committed to the safety and security of the American people,” she said in a statement issued by her office. “My criticism of the manner in which the Bush Administration did not appropriately inform Congress is separate from my respect for those in the intelligence community who work to keep our country safe.
“What is important now is to be united in our commitment to ensuring the security of our country; that, and how Congress exercises its oversight responsibilities, will continue to be my focus as we move forward.”
Huh?
So is it the CIA that lied to her or the Bush administration? Or does she now believe the Bush administration ordered the CIA and George Tenet to lie to congress and they complied? You really can’t make this stuff up.
There are plenty of reasons to call this latest excuse completely bonkers but Allah has the best:
according to Pelosi’s logic here, if this is all just another of the Bushitler’s conspiracies, then her failure to mention it until now means she’s been essentially covering for George Bush.
Either way, this is her attempt at damage control because she knows full well that the CIA will win this fight. So bring up Bushitler’s name and the left become mesmerized once again into complete idiocy.

Let’s keep flushing untill this turd goes down!!
Respectfully wrong. Let’s keep the turd swirling in the bowl till 2010, and then, by all means flush their whole party down.
Credibility goes a long way in D.C. As long as Pelosi’s in office, her credibility will be questioned, her party may also not be so quick to run/vote to her marching orders every time she brings legislation to the floor. Caucus’s could fracture. Which is why I say don’t flush just yet.
Nancy is a joke. The real scary part is she is third in line. That should keep people awake at night. As much as I don’t care for BO and JB, I really do wish them good health.
This is just her way of trying to brush it off as in her comments to “move forward”. Basically she’s trying to kiss ass to the CIA while blaming someone else (Bush Admin) and telling everyone else to move on and let it go. I hope to God she gets crucified for this. She’s such an idiot, she makes Biden look smart…. On second thought, not really.
When you have one that won’t go down, just keep flushing … best line all day LOL….
But actually, I think having a Plame around can be handy. Think 2010 commercials.
Pelosi is so stupid, she thinks the CIA will keep HER secrets. Pelosi is so stupid, she thought the CIA doesn’t have HER briefing notes. Saints preserve us. Cardinal Egan was right about Pelosi; mind-boggeling stupid.
I cannot believe that even her own party keeps her around. There is really something seriously wrong with that lady. I mean that too. No one can be that dumb. I know that politicians are as thick as thieves but really! I think that even her own party would want her gone. But there is a good chance now that all of this will backfire on her and her party. That is the good news I guess.
Not only were there notes on the forty times that Peelousy was kept informed of the interrogations, but there were SLIDE SHOWS, showing the techniques as well. It looks like the democraps’ drumbeats for a Truth Commission will have a shorter life span than a promise by Obama. Nancy knew about ‘torture’ and gave her tacit approval to it. Even the Harman letter doesn’t cut it as a concern about the techniques, Rep Harman’s only concern was a CYA concern, that the Bush Administration had duly authorized the techniques. She didn’t want to stick her neck out to give explicit or implicit approval to the CIA, without the WH also going on record as supporting and legally justifying the EITs. Profiles in Courage these are not, but then they are democraps, and it’s about what we expect from them.
Eagle, quite right; also, the senate leadership and committee staffs were informed the same way, so both the house and senate democratic leadership knew and allowed whatever was done throughout the process. Further also, your right that Harmons letter is a CYA and question, not an objection – note Harmon is implicitly admitting that it was committee counsel and staff legal openions, which held the actions were legal, that the democrats used, not the WH opinions now so demonized. Harmon apparently also had the CIA and DOJ opinions as well as her own committee counsel opinions, but is asking for the WH opinions and signature documents to CYA.
Us inquiring dirty minds would really, really like to see what democratic staff and counsel for both committees wrote at the time.
The EPA should regulate and TAX methane emissions and CO2/hot air from ruminant left wing liberals. They spew more CO2/hot air than the rest of Americans combined. Moo, Moo-ve On Nutzy Phewlosi (liberals rules apply to thee, not to me).
I agree and this turd really needs to be flushed I am ready to support anyone against Pelosi,Feinstein,Boxer,Davis,Filner et al!!
