Pelosi "mesmerized" by Kennedy / Obama endorsement event.

The buzz in the speaker's office Monday was not about Bush's address, but about Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy's fiery speech earlier endorsing Democrat Barack Obama.

"Did you ever see anything like that?" asked Pelosi. "Transferring the mantle from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama. It was the most stunning thing. I mean, I couldn't take my eyes off it. And I didn't have any time to sit there and watch TV, you know - we had a whole schedule. I just was mesmerized by it."

Pelosi is staying neutral in the presidential race, citing her role chairing the party's national convention. But she couldn't help being affected watching the endorsement because she grew up idolizing President Kennedy. "That's my era," she said.

She was mesmerized? :puke: She is just as bad as the Rethugs with Ray-gun. :puke:

She's too mesmerized to do her job. :thumbsdown:

16. too bad she wasn't moved enough to know that her job was removing

the carbuncle from our collective butts and saving the country. she is the biggest dipshit out there.

3. Endorsements are on the table, eh, Nance? n/t

[MadBadger]

4. wow...that quite frankly is a stunning quote

"Transferring the mantle from John F. Kennedy To Barack Obama" That is some powerful stuff coming from Pelosi.

[Perky]

13. Tantamount to an endorsement.... that is the second time she has sent the signal

The first was the George Miller endorement of Obama.


She is very clearly concerned about coattails and peerserving a Democratic Majority.

5. Pelosi do your job

your job is to impeach these fucking bastards and deny funding for the war. You have failed and should be impeached yourself.

Stop acting like a school girl, for Chrits sake.

7. She obviously is too busy watching teevee to even think about Impeachment. n/t

11. Now if only Nancy would be inspired to fight the Right Wing obstructionists

she could get something done in Congress.

12. I expect a little more objectivity

From the house speaker.

14. Pelosi is staying "neutral"

Uh huh. She might have to work on her "neutrality" skills. Lol.

Anyhow, I'm still glad that Obama has her "neutrality" on his side. ;)

17. LOL!

15. It really was mesmerizing and

did give me some hope...I am an Edwards supporter and will stay there but if he get the nomination I'm not going to be disappointed..I love Edward Kennedy and think it is terrible how some on here are saying crappy things about him...before he gave Obama his endorsement they loved him and had he given his endorsement to hillary they would still love him...

18. just tell me something...

who would Mary Jo support? I notice she's keeping quiet on this.

19. Are you a troll....who are you voting for Huckelberry....
