Democratic Housel leaders are calling out President Bush for a speech in Israel in which he seemed to suggest that Sen. Barack Obama wants the United States to "negotiate with terrorists."

<snip>

Referring to Sen. John McCain, Pelosi said: "I would hope that any serious person that aspires to lead the country, would disassociate themselves from those comments.”

As Pelosi was speaking, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel issued a statement in which he said: "The tradition has always been that when a U.S. president is overseas, partisan politics stops at the water's edge. President Bush has now taken that principle and turned it on its head: for this White House, partisan politics now begins at the water’s edge, no matter the seriousness and gravity of the occasion. Does the president have no shame?”

1. to answer rahm, no this idiot of a fucking president has NO SHAME.

[malaise]

6. LOL and

ditto.

I hope KO is typing his Special Commentary for tonight.
add.

[Bob3]

2. "Does the president have no shame?"

Nope - not an ounce of shame anywhere in his body - look at the golf nonsense. anyone with a working sense of shame would have torn their own head off rather than say something that inane.

any other questions you need help on Rahm?

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Nice reference to Joseph Welch's cutting rebuttal to Joseph McCarthy.

4. You know what's beneath the dignity of his office? Having a war criminal in it.

You know what's beneath the dignity of Nancy Pelosi's office?

Taking impeachment off the table.

[npincus]

7. Damn straight!

[malaise]

8. Ding Ding

etc.

[NewJeffCT]

14. great reply - wish I could recommend it

and, the freepers will get upset at Pelosi and say that getting a blowjob in office was beneath the dignity of the president as well - because, of course, no other president ever had an affair while in office.

[Ian David]

18. I'd say the blowjob was pretty much an unspoken perk of being President.

However, the cigar thing...

We really need to only elect non-smoking presidents.

[madokie]

17. You got that right

[acmavm]

22. Yep yep yep. She's a fucking big reason we're still having to

be embarrassed and shamed by this fuckwit.

[yardwork]

5. Then impeach him already!

[rateyes]

9. Nancy and Rohm, with all due respect...

had you done your fucking jobs, this war criminal idiot of a president would have already been impeached and removed from office.

[npincus]

10. Amen. This is what happens when a radical lunatic is left in power.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. How?

Which republican senators would vote to remove him?

[pink-o]

19. Look, the House had enough evidence to start impeachment HEARINGS

...in 74 that was enough for Nixon to resign cuz he didn't want all that stuff coming out in Congress. The HEARINGS were well within House power and I thought Conyers would be the first one to jump on it. You wouldn't have needed Repig senators at that point.

Gawd knows what deal Pelosi made with the devil--but I for one will never forgive her for it. I can't vote for her, I'm in the southern part of SF, and we have a GREAT new rep in Jackie Speier. But you better believe Pelosi's SF constituents are bitterly disappointed and will show it in the voting booths!

[MonkeyFunk]

21. And Nixon would've been removed.

Nobody has ever shown me any evidence whatsoever that makes me think there are 17 Republicans who would vote to remove Bush.

Just saying it or wishing for it doesn't make it true.

[rateyes]

23. The ones who want to get re-elected. The country would have

screamed for Bush's head once all the evidence was aired for all to see.

[liberal N proud]

11. She could have impeach the criminal

But it was off the table

[eridani]

12. Well, better late than never

FINALLY some solidarity among Dem officeholders!

[frickaline]

13. I love it when she fights the good fight (nt)

[The Stranger]

15. The Democrats are in Unison -- they must have known this was coming.

[Vidar]

20. She can talk the talk, but refuses to walk the walk, cf her stand on impeachment.

[samsingh]

24. bush is a shame but he has no shame

[Riddler]

25. Hey Nancy, if you had been doing your job worth a damn, the POS wouldn't BE in office.

[Art_from_Ark]

26. Nancy, where have you been for the last 7+ years?

It's not just bu$h's comments that are beneath the dignity of the office!

[Solly Mack]

27. Seriously? snort....

To speak in terms of Bush as simply a bad president who made a partisan remark denies the reality of what Bush is...and what Bush is is a war criminal, whose criminal actions have endangered the country.

Using language that in any way denies that fact is beneath contempt....

Asking if Bush has no shame is laughable. The man implemented a torture policy and brags about it....the use of language that denies this does a disservice to the truth by framing the situation as Bush being partisan and taking cheap shots when the problem is ever so much bigger...ever so much worse...ever so much dangerous.

Course, it all began the day Bush was treated as a legitimate president...someone who could be judged by the expectations of what a president should be....and that delusion continues still

[Wizard777]

28. Oh shut the hell up and impeach him already!
