Libertys Son How can Nancy Polosi even think of going after the Bush administration for any ethic, criminal, or conduct violations when she can’t even take care of business in her own house? When are we going to deal with Charles Rangel? The problem is they are too busy watching the back door to even consider answering the front door. I made contact to Rep. Michael Michaud, and Senator Pryor, and made suggestions on changes to clean out the corruption in congress. Neither one had the fortitude to even acknowledge my letters. In my opinion, by not being open to doing a little house cleaning, you probably live in filth! Liberty’s Son

Pelosi mollifies the impeachment zealots
Michelle Malkin —
[image] The nutroots roasted Nancy Pelosi for refusing the join the Bush impeachment bandwagon last summer. She argued it would be “divisive” and a “distraction” from the liberal Democrat legislative agenda — incensing the Joy Behar wing of the party. Remember? Well, now that we’re in dire economic straights and Obama is about to ascend the throne, Pelosi has apparently decided that the timing is right for the division and distraction she condemned six months ago.

Pelosi Just Can't Let Loose Her BDS

John Conyers has along history of holding hearings in his role as head of the House Judiciary Committee including the infamous Winter Soldiers II hearings. The only reason Conyers isn't in a state hospital ...

Over at Ace of Spades, Dave in Texas is discussing the 'pound of flesh' that the Democrats and the left are demanding: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Fox News Sunday says she's open to the idea of prosecuting Bush administration officials.... Even after winning the election, they cannot be satisfied with their victory: Not when the Democrats staked so much on losing, and lost the bet. They have no intention of losing the argument. Instead they demand the house invalidate the spin of the wheel, and redo with new ...
Pardon watch: What about "the blanket"?
TigerHawk —
... (4 to 1) and the more senior policymakers. That would, of course, drive the lefties insane, chomping at the bit as they are for prosecutions up and down the line for "war crimes" and "aggressive anti-terrorism initiatives." From Bush's perspective it is a tough call, because both the pardon and prosecutions in the absence of a pardon would establish a terrible precedent. The best result would be no pardon, and no prosecutions. We do not want to validate violations of the law (setting aside whether there were violations of the law), but we also do not want to turn on ...

Not that I think it is needed, but just to shut them up and to save the US years of heartache and millions of dollars. And, this: Pelosi Open to Prosecution of Bush Administration Officials

The End of Bush Derangement Syndrome? No.

... Unfortunately the Left's "hate first" modus operendi seems unlikely to abate after Obama's inauguration. As evidenced by Nancy Pelosi's "unifying" statement yesterday (and you were expecting....what?), Pelosi and Conyers and the rest of the "Stalinist show trial" Left would just as soon see the United States become a laughingstock--like a third world banana republic where successive regimes' first act is to purge or lock up any supporters of the previous regime.

Minority Republicans Must Stand Up to Pelosi
Pajamas Media —
The party's future depends on the House GOP's ability to eek out a few wins against the queen bee. [image] Nancy Pelosi has made it clear in many ways that she is not going to be an open-minded woman when it comes to the minority Republicans in Congress. Not only is she going to be teaching President Obama who the boss is in Washington, but she’s also really not interested in getting anything done for the American people. She wants payback. On Fox News Sunday , Pelosi broached the subject, or, should I say, beat a dead horse when talking about what she calls the politicizing of ...
