WSJ = DU THIS: Pelosi, Branded Panderer to Loony Liberals =WIT & RETORT Contest!
Okay, who can sling a huger pile of BS than John Boehner?
Let's have a DU THIS contest. Who can out-lamblast this:

"pandering to the left-wing fever swamps of loony liberal activists"

with both high scores in wit and a real knack for perfection in retort?

Pelosi, Branded Panderer to Loony Liberals, Asks DOJ to Probe Bush Aides
Posted by Dan Slater - February 29, 2008, 9:12 am - http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2008/02/29/pelosi-branded-panderer-to-loony-liberals-asks-doj-to-probe-bush-aides/?mod=googlenews_wsj


Here’s what went down on Capitol Hill yesterday

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked DOJ:

To open a grand jury investigation and pursue misdemeanor charges against Harriet Miers, the former White House counsel, and Joshua Bolten .... gave him one week to respond and said refusal to take the matter to a grand jury would result in the House’s filing of a civil lawsuit against the Bush administration.

The White House Responded: .. Speaker Pelosi’s request ... is “truly contemptible.”

The DOJ Responded: ... noted a “longstanding department precedent” against letting a US attorney refer a Congressional contempt citation to a grand jury or prosecute an executive branch.

John Boehner... “This sort of pandering to the left-wing fever swamps of loony liberal activists does nothing to make America safer.”

2. this isn't very good but may get people started...


Bullying Boehner,
mumbling wingnut phrases and bigoted blather,
sways at the podium tearing up for his NeoCon photo op.

:shrug:

fun idea though! :hi:
