Speaker Pelosi: "Two Oil Men In The White House" To Blame For Gas Prices

CNN:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday blamed the "two oil men in the White House," President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, and their Republican allies in Congress for gas prices exceeding $4 a gallon.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, said multiple initiatives intended to lower high energy costs have passed the Democratically controlled House only to "run into a brick wall" in the Senate because they did not receive the 60 votes needed to overcome Republican filibusters.

Sorry Nancy Armani-photo-op Pelosi. You have no room to criticize Bush and Cheney. YOU and the Demcratic Congress are complicit in every crime they have committed. Exactly what have you done to excercise your CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY to check and balance the President? Once you proclaimed "Impeachment is off the table", Bush and Cheney shot holes in the Constitution. And cowardly Democrats DID NOTHING.

[wanked]

Exactly what has she done PERIOD beside bring up min wage a measley few cents. I cant WAIT till shes history.

[oneeyedodin]

Huffington in the land of the free and home of the brave has to approve all comments.

Ain't that an effin laugh!

[RTIII]

Nearly none of my posts get held up in purgatory.

You must write some borderline things!

[loki]

I think it depends on who is screening the post. I have had non vulgar post not make it, and Ive even experimented with semi vulgar post, that did make it. I cant make heads or tails of what the rules are. They should post them somewhere for people who want to know. Like me..
So Huffpo, what are your censorship guidelines??

[Cybersquirt]

sometimes it takes a looooooooo­oooooooooo­oong time to post - I had one take 3 hours. the one I posted 2 hours after it (because I thought the first got lost) posted immediately. Next day, two posts. ::) Go figure.

Out of what gumball machine did she get that hideous string of jawbreakers around her neck?

[anastasiabeaverhousen]

She mugged babsbush on her way into the House of Reps.

[Old Writer]

I am so thankful that we have people like you who can point out the obvious flaw in Pelosi's argument. .

[FZliveson]

Got Earplugs?

[ChiMan1]

Has Nancy yet figured out the difference between her Butt and a Hold in the Ground?

[VolvoBirkenstock]

The phrase is "hole in the ground", you semi-literate bu4hbot.

[ErnestineBass]

ROFL!!!

ChiMan1 is obviously NOT a longshorem­an...

[biglover]

It smells like your mouth. You stupid ChiMan1.

You can's stand the truth and that's what she told. Those lying f'cks in the white house (two oil men) are making a fortune off our misery and you continue to support these f;cks.. Typical of you morons who continue to vote against your own self-interests

[ObamAtomic]

Nancy vote for Fisa,what is your point mate?
She is too part of the problem!
She is pandering,­left,right­,middle all over the place!
Get over it,she made a Dictator! a legal One.!

[ErnestineBass]

Oil men, or Roilty?

[brainuser]

Say, is Congress doing anything these days -- except talk, talk, talk, and fund, fund, fund?

[toadicux]

All our comments now go through google-analytic.com whether they are posted or not. Why?

[Trittydi]

Who let that woman go out in public with that thing around her neck? I'm embarrassed for her. How can she expect anyone to take her seriously when she's wearing something like that?

Well - at least she's saying some of the right things. But - the repiglic tricks are working - Americans are being scared into thinking drilling in ANWAR will actually lower their gas prices, and that dems are responsible. They're COMPLICIT - but not responsible.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American public. The repiglics don't.

[racetoinfinity]

No doubt about it.

[losangelian1]

Yes it is. Anybody who voted for Bush/Cheney should have known better. Put oil men in office, and you'll get wars in the middle east, and higher gas prices. Good job!

[totalliberal]

I think she meant two oily b*stards in the White House.

[KeysDan]

Mrs. Pelosi, our thanks to you and Steny Hoyer for the good work on the FISA bill--from the two oil guys.

[gotalife]

dems legacy is weak and spineless.

[totalliberal]

Like winning WW2?

[oneeyedodin]

The Russians did that job.

[theMightyT]

shift change!

[Trittydi]

They simply want to be perceived as being spineless. The status quo suites them fine.

They're just a different branch of the criminality in DC.

[VolvoBirkenstock]

Yet you support Hiil for the nomination?

Isn't she a Dem, PUMA?

"I am PUMA, hear me bore..."

"In numbers smaller than a four."

[mbrownNY]

Don't taunt the PUMAs Volvo. Play nice.

[brighterside]

PUMA are nothing more than republican filth masquerading as democrats. They probably never supported Clinton. Just trying to drive a wedge in among democrats to pretend that were really divided. We may have contending views and opinions. But we know that we all can't afford to have another republican in the Whitehouse for sure.

[MicahD]

Her big mistake was taking impeachment off the table. Agreed. But maybe she has finally had enough and we can get that back on the table.
All that aside....T­his a great sound-bite for the public to hear. I love it.

[springsm]

Nancy seems to be mostly soundbites.
