Rep. Nancy Pelossi, two heartbeats away from the presidency, avers that the US will lose 500,000,000 jobs per month if we don't pass a stimulus package quickly. Really?

United States — Population: 303,824,640 (July 2008 est.)

Even Dan Quayle, the exemplar of misspeaking, never made a gaffe as egregious as that.

Was she perhaps trying to say 50 thousand jobs? Not 50 million? If so it's just a slip of the tongue. Shameful. None of us would ever make a mistake like that.

In the video you linked, she did NOT say every "month." In another one, she made a correction:

CHRIS WALLACE, HOST: No, 500,000.

PELOSI: What did I say, million?

WALLACE: Yes, 500 million. That would really be a recession.

PELOSI: Oh, no. Excuse me. Thank you for correcting me.

WALLACE: Yes.

PELOSI: It feels like 500 million. Five hundred thousand Americans will lose their jobs each month until we have a recovery package.

Yes, Kat, I knew she didn't mean five hundred million, but I was cutting her the same slack dems give to republicans who misspeak. But I really do think she's about as dumb as a stump!

If Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer and John Murtha were given jobs based on intelligence and merit, they would be things like "mascara sales in a K-Mart" or "bagboy in a Piggly Wiggly".

Pelosi appears to have mid stages of Alzheimers it is nice that she is getting good press coverage with closeup face shots.

Poor Obama so many of his friends are tax cheats or impeached money grubbing extortionists. As they say, "show me your friends and I will show you who YOU ARE."

Perhaps, the new CIA director will be able to provide better background checks before more more egg sucking hounds are let into the Huessein hen house.

"...all you really need is heart" eh?

Perhaps Allan Sherman was right:

Skin

You gotta have skin.
All you really need is skin.
Skin's the thing that if you got it outside,
It helps keep your insides in.

It covers your nose,
And it's wrapped around your toes.
And inside it you put lemon meringue,
And outside ya hang your clothes.

Skin is what ya feel at home in.
And without it, furthermore,
Both your liver and abdomen
Would keep falling on the floor.
    (And you'd be dressed in your intestine)

A Siamese twin
Needs an extra set of skin.
When the doctor knows that you're feeling sick
Where does he stick his needle in?
In the end of your skin.

All your friends and all your kinfolks,
Whether poor or whether rich,
They have all got lots of skin, folks,
It's convenient when they itch.
    (Nothing can match it when ya scratch it)

It fits perfectly.
Yours fits you, and mine fits me.
When you're sitting down, it folds and looks grand.
And then when you stand, it's where it's been.
Ain't ya glad you've got skin!

When you were just a little baby, why your skin fit fine.
And it still is gonna fit you when you're six foot nine.
So whether you're fat, tall, big, small, chubby or thin,
Ain't ya glad you've got skin.

No, Dick. Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, et. al. have lowered the bar considerably as I noted above in my opening post. I do not expect President Obama will be well served by congress any time soon. I certainly don't think Americans will be.

Exactly, Dick!

The intelligence standard is SO high.David Duke is going to save the GOP and make a new one, then they won't have to bitch so much. Regarding the new head of the GOP, an African American:

I am glad these traitorous leaders of the Republican Party appointed this Black racist, affirmative action advocate to the head of the Republican party because this will lead to a huge revolt among the Republican base. As a former Republican official, I can tell you that millions of rank-and-file Republicans are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore! We will either take the Republican Party back over the next four years or we will say, "To Hell With the Republican Party!" And we will take 90 percent of Republicans with us into a New Party that will take its current place!

I think the insanity of nominating "Mr. Amnesty" John McCain and now this Black racist -- will lead to insurgency in the Republican ranks, and a lot of dissidents getting elected in Republican Party primaries around the country. This will result over the next four years in a real move by millions of Republicans to take the party back to the populist issues that are not only right but can win for the Republican Party. We must end affirmative action, protect our gun rights and all our constitutional rights, have a moratorium on immigration, we must have protectionism, yes I said protect American businesses and their workers from NAFTA and GATT and the lie of free trade, and we must have America First, not foreign interventionism. Our boys should be home protecting the American borders and not being murdered on the borders of Iraq or Afghanistan. The time has come for the Republican Party to stand up to Obama and defend American heritage, rights, and freedom!

Why are you calling stumps "dumb", John? What has any stump ever done to you? Has any stump ever been quoted to say "500 million" when it meant "500 thousand"? No. Stumps don't make errors like that. No stump has ever made such an error. I rest my case.

David Duke, Kat? That is sooo years ago, and even then he was marginal. He may think he's a Republican, but no Republican considers him to be a republican, save the few in his immediate coterie...perhaps. Is that really a quote from him? If so, it shows how delusional he is. If not, I congratulate you on a fine piece of creative writing.

Of course, there is no legislation pending, sponsored by Barbara Boxer or anyone else, to reintroduce the Freedom Of Choice Act and, according to the Catholic News Service, it wouldn't have that effect anyway.

Wrong Oh, My ER doctor buddie working for a major hospital in Wisconsin was told if the bill passes the vote in april they will close at the end of April. the Bishop in Chicago said he would close all Catholic hospitals before being forced to comply with abortion. Likewise the view from the other denominations is pretty much the same. It is a serious issue in April. However, the bill was shot down every time for the last 10 year so I doubt it will pass but who knows

Still spouting untruths? Nothing legitimate about these jobs?

He served as President Bill Clinton's White House Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 and was a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1977 to 1993. He is the founder and director of the Panetta Institute, serves as Distinguished Scholar to Chancellor Charles B. Reed of the California State University System and is a professor of public policy at Santa Clara University.

Kat, you left out Director of the Office of Management and Budget. And, while a Member of Congress, he was:
    * Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on the Budget
    * Chairman of the Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic Marketing, Consumer Relations, and Nutrition
    * Chairman of the Administration Committee's Subcommittee on Personnel and Police
    * Chairman of the Task Force on Domestic Hunger created by the U.S. House Select Committee on Hunger

    * Member of the President's Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies.

When putting in a quote it is a good idea to indicate clearly when it begins and ends, to avoid that problem Ebbie just had:

"...please be assured that the body of my last post (I refuse to post those hateful words again) did not come from me."

Change the type face, or put in quote marks, or both, like I did just there.

Illegal Aliens have taken many jobs.

Obama's aunt works in the US.

WHERE is the ICE team?

Obama's aunt is an illegal alien. She has been illegal since 2004.

Obama must either deport his aunt or destroy his own credibility

Obama referred to Onyango as "Auntie Zeituni" when describing the trip to Kenya in his memoir, saying she was "a proud woman."

She is living in public housing in Boston and works nearby.

Auntie Zeituni" made a $260 campaign contribution to her nephew's presidential bid and attended Obama's swearing-in ceremony and an inaugural ball at Washington's Renaissance Mayflower Hotel

WHERE is the ICE team?

"Illegal Aliens have taken many jobs."

True. One of the Tim Horton's donut shops here in Orillia has one of those Greys for a manager now. You know, those thin, hairless, skinny aliens with the huge black almond-shaped eyes? I can't figure where he got his social insurance number and other I.D. to apply for the job, but I will say this, the food is much better there since he has been in charge.
