Nancy Pelosi calls Joe Lieberman 'irresponsible'

[sabra]

SAN FRANCISCO -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized former Democrat Joe Lieberman on Wednesday for campaigning against Sen. Barack Obama, calling the Connecticut senator's characterizations of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee "totally irresponsible."

On a local radio program to promote her new book, Pelosi (D-San Francisco) responded to a caller who had asked what could be done to keep Lieberman from undermining Obama's bid for the White House.

"You are right. Joe Lieberman has said things that are totally irresponsible when it comes to Barack Obama," Pelosi said.

"Here we have a leader for the future, really a great leader for the future and one that comes along only every now and then, and {Republicans} know it, so they have to undermine him. And one of their best weapons, of course, is someone who is considered by some to be a Democrat."

No more street cred. Ignore him and he'll go away.

26. Even better...

... let's get a 2/3 majority in the Senate, and we can *make* him go away. (You need 2/3 to expel, right?)

Says Nancy Pelosi as she looks in a fucking mirror

7. Pelosi is willing to attack the POS Lieberman, but not the criminal in the White House.

She is worthless.

[Enrique]

9. she attacks Bush all the time

more importantly, she passes legislation he opposes, sometimes over his veto.

[driver8]

8. Nancy Pelosi can kiss my ass!

It is time for her to go.

Hey Nancy, there are some who consider YOU to be a Democrat...I just don't happen to be one of them.

[mcollier]

11. There has been enough shame in Washington aleady

Maybe Nancy doesn't want to add to the shame of the bush administration.... Or maybe there is a compelling reason why she has turned an eye to the corruption? Fear of her dirt being aired...

13. As the Whole World Breaks Into Song....

Call me irresponsible
Call me unreliable
Throw in undependable, too

Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Well, I'm not too clever, I
I just adore you

So, call me unpredictable
Tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue

Call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you

Do my foolish alibis bore you?
Girl, I'm not too clever, I
I just adore you

Call me unpredictable
Tell me that I'm so impractical
Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue

Go ahead call me irresponsible
Yes, I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
I'm irresponsibly mad for you

You know it's true
Oh, baby it's true.
