When host Norah O’Donnell asked him about Newt Gingrich’s call for Pelosi’s resignation, Yglesias reminded her who was ultimately responsible for Bush’s torture policy:

YGLESIAS: You know, Newt Gingrich knows a lot about saying stupid things and being forced out of the job as Speaker. … But one way or the other — I mean, I wasn’t in the room, you weren’t in the room, Newt Gingrich wasn’t in the room. None of us know exactly what happened there. But whatever it is Nancy Pelosi knew about, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John Yoo, Jay Bybee, they knew more. And ultimately, when we have a thorough investigation of what happened, the bulk of the blame has to lie with the architects of the policy, not with a member of the opposition party.

1. Fucking Norah O’Donnell "Pelosi's fate" what fucking "fate" republicans want a victory & want to

force Pelosi to step down...republicans are trying to make Pelosi the issue, not the actual torture by the republicans, another smokescreen, O’Donnel is helping the republicans instigate something, some "fate" that's not there to keep the story going... only republicans want it, as a diversion to take the focus off their sick torturers of the republicans administration & party.

O’Donnell as usual just reading off republican talking points, like the republican robot she's always been.

2. I see Nora O'Donnell is still the Bush Booster she's always been

And that's not a good thing.
