Nancy Pelosi, Rufus’ Speaker of the House, gave a speech to the Legislative Conference of the National Association of Counties yesterday. Her full remarks are here (if you dare):
Here’s a snippet of what she said:
You’ve heard about the controversies within the bill, the process about the bill, one or the other. But I don’t know if you have heard that it is legislation for the future, not just about health care for America, but about a healthier America, where preventive care is not something that you have to pay a deductible for or out of pocket. Prevention, prevention, prevention—it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting.
But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.
Get a load of that last sentence…. let it sink in. Getting power out of her hands is probably more important than getting Obama out of office. He’s ignorant and incompetent. She is substantively stupid, but process savvy. Look at healthcare… it has been a herculean effort on her part to get this turd of a bill this close. The overwhelming outrage of the people seems to be the only thing blunting this attack. We can’t get her out of office… apparently her retarded rich voters like her. But we can get the gavel out of her hands.

If I supported a bill that was 3000 pages long (plus or minus a thousand) and didn’t bother to read it, I’d say the same thing.
These people make fun of me because I take the Bible on faith. At least I’ve read the Bible.
Good one, Lars.
Can I get an “Amen!”? I am totally swiping that line.
The question is has Madam Nan Pelosi read it? Answer is NO!
“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.”
This is nearly the most asinine statement I have ever heard coming from anyone on Capitol Hill!
Do you think she actually hears and understands what she says? Or is there just a buzzing in her ears? She must have (or have had in the past) some type of competancy, right? Why is there now a buzzing in my ears just thinking about it? Is it contagious?
Tink: it’s her brain frying.
