At Pelosi’s weekly press conference this morning, she made the point several times that there was a huge difference between George W. Bush asserting Executive Privilege over the firing of US Attorneys and Obama using it yesterday. When asked what the differences were she deferred to Elijah Cummings on the issue. But then she took a moment to tell the press what this contempt vote was really about, to stop Holder from fighting voter suppression in this country:

Contempt of Congress? Contempt of Congress? To frivolously use that really important vehicle to undermine the person who’s assigned to stop the voter suppression in our country? I’m telling you this is connected. It is no accident. It is a decision and it is as clear as can be – not only to monopolize his time, it’s to undermine his name, to undermine his name, undermine his name as he goes forward to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

time for Nancy Pelosi to retire. People are tired of hearing jibberish. She makes up stories to fit her agenda.

Sems he wasn't interested in fighting voter suppression when it was the New Black Panther Party who was doing the suppressing ... and white folks were the ones suppressed.

What an iDiot, it isn't about Holder suppressing the vote by supporting the New Black Panther Party.

It is just what ISSA said it was about, Gun Running to the Drug Cartel.

Nanny I know what you're thinking, we should do this like 0b0care, when we convict him we will find out what he did. See you read like an open book.

Lay off the Botox, Nancy! It's completely rotted your brain and the only way you can improve your looks is with a bag over your empty head!

Clinton fired all of the U.S. attorneys in order to get rid of the one that was investigating him. Bush fired 8 and the left came unglued.

Pelosi's claim is ridiculous. Someone pump her lips full of Botox so she can't talk any more.

I am tired of watching only segments of Pelosi’s weekly press conference. I think someone should finally film her when she is momentarily released from the mental health center wearing a strait jacket and a duct taped mouth.

Liberals just can't seem to understand that MURDER is a reason for all of this that is happening to Eric Holder. They don't have a conscience to know that somebody has to be held accountable for the death of Brian Terry, and hundreds of Mexican people. NANCY it's about MURDER, and somebody being held ACCOUNTABLE!

FreeManWalking

They see Brian Terry and all the others that were murdered as a small sacrifice if they were able to use this as a stepping stone to further their agenda to disarm the American people.

They don't even care that their economic superstitions killed 150 million innocent people last century. I won't hold my breath for them to shed anything but crocodile tears for an American.

Hey Nancy just like the black panther voting poll issue huh? Does having a black panther showing a baton at a voting booth prove to be lawful? You mam and anybody who voted for you are an embarrassment!

The truly sad thing about Pelosi is that she is really a stupid person. She isn't particularly intelligent, nor does she understand much about normal Americans or what it's like to live a normal life in this country. Over the years, she has stated the most incompetent and silly things, stuff that should make people laugh in her face. Look at her constituency! Not exactly a bastion of high moral caliber and intellectual capacity. She is an old 60's radical - not much going on upstairs, but lots of energy to destroy everything around her without reason.

This woman is dumber than dirt. A recent post on AT is rather astute. Check it out:

"...For decades, Massachusetts has hosted a disproportionately high number of nationally recognized liberal clowns. You could make a case that California has more recognizable loons, but even the unholy trinity of Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstein could scarcely be worse than Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy, and John F. Kerry. If California is worse, it's only because Kennedy is dead and Frank is retiring -- the most patriotic thing he's ever done. Remember also that California has six times more people from which to select its raging moonbats..."- TS Weilder - AT 6/20/2012

Typical Pelosi... Try and sweep a scandal under the rug by deferring and deflecting to a problem that does not exist.

...and the media lap dogs perpetuate the narrative.

WAKE UP, America!

Holder? Fighting voter suppression? Since when? Remember Philly, Nancy?

I thought so. Looks like you need to pick up some bondo to patch up those cracks, before what's left of your brains dribble out.

Ken, that was a non starter (never did quite know what that phrase meant but what the heck) since The Attorney General of the United States of America himself decreed that they did no wrong.

Can citizens ask for mental competency hearings for elected officials? I swear the botox has affected her brain or she's on some kind of drug.

GMTA! I hadn't read the comments and I also said the Botox went to her brain--I'll add "what little she has!"

I've been asking that for years. The Captain of a nuclear submarine must be psychologically cleared for command but not the President. Who controls more destructive power? Go figure.

Well, don't send her to Iowa---we're still trying to recover from Vilsack as governor! And his wife is running against Steve King in our district for a House seat. Heaven forbid if she succeeds!

This is your brain on progressivism...

Seriously - too many years of progressivism/liberalism/socialism/Marxism has taken it's toll on Pelosi's thought process. I truly do not think she is able to see right from wrong or discern what is truth anymore.

"I truly do not think she is able to see right from wrong or discern what is truth anymore."

Maybe this is a Biblical example of a seared conscience.

Protect the Constitution!?! Speaking of undermining, this chief "law" enforcement officer, does more to undermind the Constitution with his lawlessness every day. I would like know one thing he has done to uphold the oath he has taken and in which he has for and demonstated his comtempt.

She is either on drugs or drunk in this video.

I guess this is a good place to put this, but this is the website for the Republican who is running against Pelosi in 2012.

www.johndennis2012.com

He's a Ron Paul clone who opposes bailouts, wants to end the Fed, close the Department of Education, close all foreign military bases, get out of Iraq and Afghanistan ASAP.

While I don't agree with him 100% on everything, he would be a thousand times better than Pelosi and it seems like the anti-America World Police message would suit him well in San Francisco.

Was ol' Nance "signing" when she kept repeating "...to undermine his name." I watched that video several times and she sure does some strange hand gestures. Hahahahaaaaa. Maybe that was for dramatic emphasis because everyone ought to listen when ol' Nance speaks.....NOT!!!!
