Nancy Pelosi Wishes DeMint 'Well;' Like, Don't Let The Door Hit Ya . . .
__________________
WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi won't miss Sen. Jim DeMint when he leaves the Senate next month.
. . . Pelosi isn't gutted by his decision — particularly in light of what happened earlier this week, when a group of conservative Republican senators blocked ratification of a U.N. disabilities treaty.
"I think what we saw the night before last in the U.S. Senate was one of the saddest…of all occasions," Pelosi told reporters.
DeMint was among those senators who opposed the measure.
"Anyone who's a party to that, I wish them well wherever they are going," Pelosi said.
