When can you tell when Pelosi is lying? Whenever her surgically altered lips move.

How can we say never again when Kagame and his regime are taking Rwanda down the same path the led to ethnic violence of 1994? Discrimination, injustice, human rights abuse of all sorts.. Nancy, what do you make of the case of Deo Mushayidi, a tutsi genocide survivor and human rights activist who is being unlwafully imprisonned by Kagame as we speak?

[TheSpaniard102]

Ohhh, and waterboarded, too...

[TheSpaniard102]

She's creating CO2 with that candle!! she should be fined and imprisoned.

[Gamera49]

I would light a candle also, but I do not want my carbon tax to go up.

"Ok, check that off today's 'To Do' list. Now: Where are we going for lunch??"

[jschob]

Why aren't you doing anything about Darfur right now (besides the occasional reference)? How about Sri Lanka (do you even know what is going on there)?

Pelosi is a worthless, corrupt, idiotic, smelly fucking cunt who is out to destroy our nation for her own financial gain.

She should be impeached. Of course she would be replaced by another idiot from San Fransisco but at least they wouldn't have the seniority to wield the power that is given to this corrupt cunt.
