When I became Speaker, and this, by the way a very important position: President, Vice President, Speaker of the House. I saw it as my responsibility to try to bring a much-divided country together to the extent that we could. I thought that impeachment would be divisive to the country.
Etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.
I don't ask this question to accuse or insinuate, but to give the Speaker an out. If she's on drugs, everyone will forgive her after a brief stay at the Betty Ford Clinic. If, however, she doesn't have that excuse, she's simply arrogant and utterly stupid. You really have to watch this to believe it.
"President, Vice President, Speaker of the House"--sounds sort of like Bush's gaffe (I know, every time he opens his mouth it's a gaffe) at the G8 summit, "Russia's a big country and you're a big country." I think Speaker Pelosi has been in a few too many secret meetings with Dubya; she's starting to sound just like him.
This would be hysterically funny comedy if it weren't so profoundly serious. How dare she, in her "very important position" (in the fulfillment of which she can't even put a coherent sentence together), deign to declare "I thought that impeachment would be divisive to the country"? "I thought"????!!! Her "very important" opinion takes precedence over the Constitution of the United States?
What very little respect she allowed me to retain for her is rapidly ebbing from my soul (like the life-blood that's oozing from our democracy).
