Now this is just too rich.
Via the Politico:
The National Republican Congressional Committee is urging Gen. Stanley McChrystal to put House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “in her place” for weighing in on Afghanistan — prompting one female Pelosi ally to blast the House GOP as “80 percent male,” “100 percent white” — and completely out of touch.
On Monday night, Pelosi told Charlie Rose “should go up the line of command” instead of publicly opining on strategy — prompting a swift, sneering reaction from the GOP committee.
Mocking the first female speaker as “General Pelosi,” an NRCC spokesman wrote, “If Nancy Pelosi’s failed economic policies are any indicator of the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope McChrystal is able to put her in her place.”
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who is close to Pelosi, could barely contain her anger.
“I think the place for a woman is at the top of the House of Representatives,” said Wasserman Schultz.
“It’s evidence they long for the days when a woman’s place was in the kitchen. Now a woman is third in line for the presidency… But it’s not surprising, coming from a party that’s 80 percent male and 100 percent white,” she added, referring to the composition of the House GOP conference.
NRCC Spokesman Ken Spain was unrepentant, telling POLITICO that Pelosi is “playing out of her league,” and questioned the reluctance of Democrats to call for McChrystal to testify in a hearing on the war.
Spain: “Spare us the lectures and mock-outrage. The Speaker of the House is taking on a highly decorated general who has outlined a strategy in Afghanistan that she once claimed to advocate… [S]he’s playing out of her league and she knows it.”
Quite a-typical for a Party that thrives on the gender, and race card. Good on the G.O.P for not sitting there and allowing the Socialist twits to suck them into that little game. This is a perfect example of why I will never vote for that Party, ever again. I mean, they may like to do things to help the middle class; sometimes. But at what cost? At the cost of having to kowtow down to fat broads that never get any? I think not. Of course, if they pass that Cap & Trade Bill or should I call it Cap & Tax? Anyhow, that will result in the majority of Americans; getting royally screwed in the pocketbook. So, that whole middle class line gets a wee bit over played by the Democrats. For the record, I am poor class myself; according to the Democrat Party way of looking at things. What have they done for me? Not my Parents; but me. Truthfully? Jack shit, that is what they have done for me, and they know it. They are too damn busy playing the protectionist role; too busy supporting those corrupt unions, like SEIU and Organizations like ACORN. They are too busy for white people like me; they have support the people that get them votes, IYKWIMAITYD!
As to the Story; Yes, Nancy Pelosi is way in over her head, and yes, she knows it. That Botox wearing fat bitch ought not even be in politics. She is a damn disgrace to America and hopefully will be voted out come 2010. Hopefully, she will be, because it is quite obvious that she is not cut out for her position in politics. Never was, only got the job; because she was damn female; and because she was well connected in the, shall we say, Hollywood world. IYKWIMAITYD.
