I would rather eat splinters than put a single dollar in Nancy Pelosi's pocket

[hisownpetard]

by buying her book.

Anyone else with me on this?

[DS1]

This is the first I've heard of a book from her

so no, I'm definitely not interested. I find her rather repulsive in the first place, let alone profiting from it.

[hisownpetard]

5. Ya mean, you don't think it's cute the way she cocks her head and smiles at Bush

:puke:
like they're at a frat party?

[truebrit71]

1. I'm with you...a book about what? Her great accomplishments as Speaker?

...it'll be a pretty quick read then...

[hisownpetard]

3. As a sequel, she can write a book about the *real* reasons she's bent over backwards

to give Bush every single thing on his neo-con wish list, and then some.

[fascisthunter]

2. she actually makes me ill

[Kolesar]

4. Because your lips move when you talk?

[hisownpetard]

7. Huh?

[Kolesar]

10. Because your lips move when you read?

Kind of funny/ironic. I made a joke about you being stupid and I made a stupid mistake. Ha ha. The joke's on me.

[hisownpetard]

14. I still don't get it, but maybe it's me.

:shrug: :hi:

[AndyA]

6. I won't buy the book, nor will I read it.

She spent time writing a book instead of investigating the crimes of the Bush Administration. She is no better than Bushco. Birds of a feather...

[hisownpetard]

8. She's a total Bush-enabler. A huge disappointment, imo.

[ixion]

9. I won't be buying her ghost-written tripe

so you can put me on that list.

[flyingfysh]

11. I didn't know we had termites posting on DU

[RainDog]

19. the op is no termite. who the fuck are you?

the amt. of censorship on this site is amazing lately. you and others should know that there are many liberals who are pissed off at Pelosi and who see her as a major disappointment b/c of her refusal to pursue the desires of the 2006 electorate that put dems in power to check Bush AND his minions in the legislative branch.

petard has been here for a while. she can have an opinion that's diff. than yours. and so can I.

[Runcible Spoon]

22. what's your fucking problem?

:shrug:

[hisownpetard]

12. Delete/wrong place

[TexasObserver]

13. I am unhappy with her as Speaker, but it's up to her district to elect her.

I doubt there is any risk of her losing the election, but even if there were, why would I want her to lose?!

I won't give her money, but that's because I expect incumbent House members to get reelected on their own.

[RainDog]

15. hey gf! I'm with you. Pelosi makes me sick - impeachment is on the table, Nance.

What a fucking disappointment. Hope she's making enough money off her refusal to uphold the constitution.

[hisownpetard]

16. Raindog!

[mmonk]

17. I was more interested in my thoughts of protesting it.

[madrchsod]

18. buy her book or buy something to eat?

dam what a hard decision to make.......

[Greyhound]

20. Politician's books are, almost without exception, just a cover for a large bribe

or payment for services rendered. As usual, follow the money, who published it and who owns the publisher. Do you think it is some bizarre coincidence that she is sucking up to the Mellon, Murdock, Moon gang?

[hisownpetard]

21. There are no coincidences.

[TornadoTN]

23. I don't support Enablers nor do I wish to read their words

Her actions have spoken louder than any of her words could ever hope to accomplish.

[Individualist]

48. Ditto!

[whistle]

24. Pelosi has written a book? What is the title "I got mine, so You Are Off the Table"

[hisownpetard]

"Sleeping with the Enemy"?

[whistle]

25. Lots of books about Nancy Pelosi, but nothing by Nancy Pelosi

http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images&q=Nancy+Pelosi's+new+book&um=1&ie=UTF-8&checkout=1&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&resnum=1&ct=checkout-restrict

[hisownpetard]

26. Didn't bother to note the name, but she's on a book tour even as we speak, so I'm sure

she's got a book to sell.

[The Stranger]

27. I'm with you.

[rateyes]

28. OMG, here we go again with a Speaker of the House and a book deal.

Cheese on a cracker, I am starting to believe that this woman is as corrupt as Newt Gingrich ever was.

[hisownpetard]

29. Hmm - DUer 'rateyes,' talking about cheese? Too funny.

And I agree. It's like deja vu all over again.

[rateyes]

31. Good catch.

Didn't even cross my mind. :hi:

[hisownpetard]

33. You're a star.

[rateyes]

34. I just got the message from Skinner.

Thanks. That means a lot. :hi:

[hisownpetard]

38. My pleasure.

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

30. i'm done with political books for awhile, after 7 1/2 years i have a ton of them. I needz a break.

i've already decided i donating many of them to the library.

[hisownpetard]

32. The Bush lie-berry?

[whistle]

36. Is that Dubya's new book?

[AlCzervik]

45. no an actual library that contains actual books and not pamphlets.

[hisownpetard]

54. No coloring books??!

[whistle]

35. Well, here it is....

http://godc.about.com/b/2008/07/27/listen-to-nancy-pelosi-discuss-her-new-book.htm

Target audience, young ambitious, ruthless girls sounds like, eh.

[hisownpetard]

37. She should have written "A Message to America's Democrats: Sorry, Suckers!"

That would have been more apt.

[whistle]

42. It may actually say words to that affect if one chooses to read Nancy's book

...which I won't even if given to me free

[hisownpetard]

43. Me, neither. I think she has colossal gall(s) to say that *anything* was on or off the table, the

instant she stepped foot into her new office.

How dare she?

[tkmorris]

39. "Know your power" Know your power?

KNOW YOUR OWN FUCKING POWER!!! Have we ever had a Speaker who exhibited LESS power? I think my spleen just exploded.

[hisownpetard]

40. I know. It's even too ironic to be funny.

[whistle]

41. Careful, the power of women comes from their scent, a ruptured spleen

...can't help it that situation

[Indenturedebtor]

47. "How to lay down and obey" by Nancy "enabler" Pelosi

:puke:

[elehhhhna]

67. "Know Your Place: How The First Woman Speaker Assumed the Role of Hostess of the House"

[Breeze54]

44. Seems odd she'd write a book now.... mid-term in her "leadership" ...

:eyes:

Maybe she smells defeat in the air or on the horizon?

Striking while the iron is hot? :shrug:

I won't buy it, but then I use my library a lot.

It saves me a lot of cash.

But this wouldn't be a book I'd rush to borrow anyway. :(

[hisownpetard]

56. I think 14 of her 15 minutes of infamy are up.

[jtrockville]

46. I might "hold my nose" and buy her book

because I'm attending here book signing. See post #21 here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3694271

I doubt I'll be able to give her "the list" provided by Mr. Swanson unless I $$$ buy $$$.

[Disturbed]

52. Pelosi needs more money for her Botox & knee pads.

Buy her book, now.

[hisownpetard]

57. You're gonna give her the list? Awesome!!!!!!

(And you can always return the book, if she doesn't sign it).

[jtrockville]

69. Oooh, great idea - returning the book....

[Enrique]

49. she's one of the greatest leaders we've ever had in Congress

[EFerrari]

51. I'm sure the Republican caucus agrees with that.

[Enrique]

53. no, they hate her

that's one of the reasons I like her.

[fascisthunter]

64. exactly

[hisownpetard]

58. Excuse me? Based on WHAT?

[Enrique]

63. her depth of conviction

and her passionate desire to do the right thing.

[tkmorris]

60. ............

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[fascisthunter]

66. lol.... Had no idea she had any fans here

:spray:

[elehhhhna]

68. Sure : Lotsa "Don'ts".. Not many "Do's"

[Lautremont]

50. That Touch of Posi.

[formercia]

55. I'll look for it at book sales.

I never pay full price for something I'm going to burn.

[hisownpetard]

59. !!!

:yourock:

[Itchinjim]

61. Mmmmmmm, splinters.....

[spanone]

62. pass the salt

[Mad_Dem_X]

65. No way in Hell am I buying that book. nt

[hisownpetard]

70. Good.
