Ha! Nancy Pelosi: ‘There has never been a more open process’ – Updated With Video

Oh. My. Goodness. I saw a clip of this earlier and nearly choked.

Once the video is available I’ll update this post.

For now, The Hill reported:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) defended Congress’ work on a healthcare bill Tuesday saying the process has displayed historic transparency, just as C-SPAN mounts an effort to open the negotiations.

C-SPAN wrote a letter to congressional leaders Tuesday asking that TV cameras be allowed to film negotiations to reconcile the House and Senate versions of healthcare reform legislation.

But Pelosi said Congress has already been transparent throughout the process.

“There has never been a more open process for any legislation,” Pelosi said at a press conference.

Pelosi also hinted that holding informal negotiations–likely without TV cameras–might be the most practical way to push the legislation through. ….

“We will do what is necessary to pass the bill,” Pelosi said.

This is proof that Nancy Pelosi and the democrats think we’re all a bunch of complete idiots who have no idea what they’re up to. How disgusting!

Thanks to Lew for sending the link to The Hill.

Update: More at memeorandum. Allahpundit has a link to video of Nancy Pelosi laughing at how Obama said a lot of things to get elected, and video of Obama promising there would never be negotiations behind closed doors, and that negotiations would be on C-Span. (Via Michelle Malkin)

Here’s the clip of Pelosi’s big lie that Cavuto aired earlier today.

And here’s video from the 2008 campaign of more projection by Obama. (25 second mark)
