1. She sort of did when she put on the record the accomplishments of her term.

2. Because Nancy is a classy lady.
But I know how you feel! :)
She has to play the game. She would look like a fool if she did otherwise.

5. Yes. She is a very nice lady in the face of the classless rhetoric she faces from Republicans.

7. Yes, it's a game and she couldn't have done otherwise. She's very aware of the rules.

14. I guess you missed it when we won the House in 2006 & her first business was to pardon Bush
by taking impeachment off the table. Since this thread is about her gushing over Boehner with praise, my post is relevant. She did the same thing with Bush, only much worse.

Like I said, Nancy Pelosi was in bed with him and it was sickening, especially the last few months. She's one of the main reasons why we never tried for an impeachment. It's not that we could have gotten a conviction, but at least we could have tried to to impeach, considering we had just won the House, and it's the House that votes to impeach or not. We'll never know what could have happened if only we had tried.

15. She didn't "pardon" anyone by not doing something
she knew had no chance of succeeding. Nancy Pelosi wasn't "in bed" with anyone, and frankly, this team jersey politics crap I see spewed from every corner of DU makes me nauseous. If she had chosen to just mindlessly stonewall Bush she'd have been no better than Boehner will be with a Republican House.

16. Pardon, leave him alone, let him run along, whatever.
It's all the same thing.

Her involvement in knowing about Bush's torture, and never saying a word about it, had more than a little bit to do with her being in bed with the madman and keeping hush.

6. Why would we expect shrill, crass behavior ...
... from the 60th and 62nd Speaker of the House?
