take heart i explained it to speaker pelosi
Published Sep. 29, 2008Bi-partisan: of, relating to, or involving members of two parties ; specifically : marked by or involving cooperation, agreement, and compromise between two major political parties.
I took the time today to send Speaker Pelosi this definition just on the off chance she did not know what bi-partisan is supposed to be. She is a rep for CA, so perhaps the BI part is throwing her off.
I told her that perhaps holding a news conference where she spent all her time insulting the Republicans, and then had several other House Democrats take their turn insulting the Republicans, might not be the best way to create a genial working atmosphere.
I also asked her if indeed the nefarious Republicans that voted against the bill were such a bunch of low-life rotten people, what was her opinion of the Democrats that voted against the bill. Where they also low-life rotten people? I am still waiting for an answer.
I was especially heartened during the conference to learn that despite this horrible urgent emergency, Congressman Franks would be on holiday. Apparently, it is not all that urgent, although Franks does say it is urgent.
Personally, I am glad this bill went down in flames, and I am grateful to the members of the house that voted against it, regardless of the reasons for their vote.
Assuming Democrats hold the house after this November, I wonder if someone will challenge Pelosi for the Speaker position. She really is not the right person to hold that job.
