Gag Alert! CBS News: Pelosi One of the Most Effective Speakers in History!

Read no further if you have a weak stomach. This is truly nausea inducing. I’m really wishing I didn’t eat those Peanut M&Ms before reading this.

NewsBusters:

On CBS’s Sunday Morning, correspondent Rita Braver conducted a fawning interview with Nancy Pelosi, portraying the widely unpopular Speaker of the House as a strong leader taking on her opponents: “Nancy Pelosi is considered one of the most effective speakers in congressional history….Believe it or not, Republicans are out to fire Pelosi and Madam Speaker is firing back.”

Braver began the segment by declaring: “Speaker Nancy Pelosi is all business. Whether it’s on her morning walk along the Potomac….Or showing off the private balcony outside her Capitol office.” She then lobbed this softball to the “all business” Speaker: “Do you ever let yourself relax and just do nothing? Loaf a little?” Pelosi replied: “I think I may take that up, but not until after the election.”

That's about all I could take. There’s plenty more, including a complete transcript if you can stand it. Thankfully, there’s no video. Had I watched and listened I probably would have lost my M&Ms and my lunch. Sheesh!

Update: If you must see video you can find it at Story Balloon. Brace yourself first.

    Depends on your definition of “effective”

    All of a sudden, the fish I just eat doesn’t taste so good. :(

    Honestly, how can they say she is one of the most effective speakers in history? She has shown herself to be nothing short of a bully. Did I mention i hate bullies?

    Odd considering at least one democract is campaiging on the fact that he will vote against her for Speaker next year. Let’s face it even if the Dems retain control of the House she’s gone as Speaker.

    Tums needs to launch a special run of their tablets in red, white and blue for the nauseated patriot during the regime’s rule.

      I wish I took some Tums before watching this weird NY Governor debate. There are seven candidates, I believe. At least half are commies. It’s comical and strange and somewhat sickening all at once. At least they’re making Carl Paladino look calm and collect.

        This may be a plus for Carl. Cuomo is thin skinned and has a short fuse. Maybe Carl can light it early on for some fireworks.

          I’ll see if I can find a link to the video. It was an hour and a half long. It was soooo very bizarre. The hooker. The “Rent is Too Damn High!” Party guy. Weird, weird, weird.
