This Is The Thanks The Dems Get For Treating The Blue Dogs With Kid Gloves
Will they ever learn?

“While it might be politically popular among Republicans to bash House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one Democrat may have crossed a line.

Alabama Rep. Bobby Bright, a Blue Dog Democrat, was asked whether he would vote for Nancy Pelosi for House Speaker at a political event on Saturday. He replied that a vote for House Speaker was a long way off.

Bright "joked that Pelosi might lose her own election, decide not to run for the speaker's job or otherwise not be available," reported the Montgomery Advertiser.

The Advertiser's reporter, Cosby Woodruff, told The Plum Line's Greg Sargent that Bright said, "heck, she might even get sick and die."

According to Woodruff's original report the remark "drew laughter from the crowd."

So many questions that have bo answer, A firmer Japanese prime minister said he thinks Americans are simple minded. I was prepared to feel insulted and then polls and primary results came in.

10. wtf? why aren't these idiots being subjected to party discipline?
i can't believe -- the party allows its members to make veiled remarks about its leadership "getting sick & dying"?

11. That's What I'd Like To Know
While the WH is busy grape stomping progressives Ben Nelson, who always votes against them, is given cash by the DNC to run adds saying how fab he is, and he isn't even up for re-election.

16. incomprehensible indeed. especially in the context of sherrod getting fired for something she
supposedly did decades ago (& really didn't).

i can't figure out why it's ok to threaten the leadership of your party.

17. Its not just "OK", It is ENCOURAGED!
The White House and Democratic Party Leadership throws their full campaign support behind these Conservatives during Democratic Primaries, and recruits and bankrolls conservatives to run as "Democrats" for open seats.
