FILE - In this Feb. 2011 file photo House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks on Capitol Hill. An Italian news agency says that Pelosi was hospitalized briefly in Rome with a minor ailment.
From NBC's Luke Russert
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized during a trip to Rome after feeling ill, NBC News confirms.
UPDATE: A spokesman for Pelosi says the Democratic leader is now resuming her schedule. His statement:
"After several flights yesterday in Afghanistan, and a long flight back to Italy that arrived early this morning, Leader Pelosi was not feeling well. This morning in Rome, the Leader was advised to visit a clinic, and the closest medical facility was a hospital. The Leader is now resuming her schedule in Italy."
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), a member of the delegation traveling with Pelosi, told NBC News from Italy earlier Monday that the House Minority Leader underwent “a few tests” but is "in good shape."
"She's at the hotel now,” Pascrell told NBC News. “She's fine, she's in good shape. Just a few tests to make sure she was all right."
Pascrell and Pelosi were traveling with a bipartisan delegation in Afghanistan before the stop in Italy.
"We had a strenuous few days in Afghanistan, but it was the most productive trip I've ever been on as a member of Congress,” Pascrell said.
Pelosi was in Italy to mark the 150thanniversary of Italian unification. News agency AFP reports that Pelosi canceled two meetings with officials due to her illness.

Let the Pelosi Hater-Palooza commence in 3...2...1...
Anyone want to bet how many times we'll see 'botox' & pelosi mouse from the nitwits?
In the meantime, Get Well Soon Nancy!
We NEED more strong liberal women like you!
I had the same thoughts, Feisty. Prayers to Nancy and her family.
They NEVER disappoint! lol
I guess this is the Popes way of asking her to clarify her ideas about abortion and the Catholic Churches stance.

So sorry. The second post was from another of Nancy's fables known as "the Truth According to Nancy"..
Fiesty,
Is it a democrat thing, or is the double standard just you? You have gone off here on First Read about the hate mongering the " Right " has done in the past, yet in almost every post you make you have some kind of demeaning name you call the right.
We get it, you do not agree with our stance on politics, but after all this is America and we have every right to our opinions just like you are. There have been many " Righties " here who try to have a healthy political debate here, only to be brought into the name calling, insult slinging cesspool that you seem to enjoy being in. As I type this, there is only ONE post here that seems to wish ill on Nancy P. The rest of the posts are from the left, bashing the right.
The difference between you and me, you seem to truly dislike or hate anyone who's opinion differs from yours. You see it in your posts... I can disagree with someone about our political views, then 15 minutes later go out and buy them a beer and talk about something else. I highly doubt you could do the same.
Now back on topic...
I have never liked the traveling congress to war zones, or any other country.. They are here to run our country and pass our laws, not go everywhere around the world meeting world leaders. Doesn't matter if you are a repub or a demo, with today's technology you can do a secure net meeting if you HAVE to talk to someone. I still don't think its important, that's why we have ambassadors.
IMHO she shouldnt of ever been there.
You know, I went back and re-read my comment and couldn't find any reference to the left or the right.
Imagine that?
Nothing like being presumptuous now, is there Jeremy, or is it a good old fashion guilty conscience about the quality of comments below?
Thanks for your post Jeremy, I agree and you see the same on Rep based sites. Everyone is not going to agree or think the same way,,,and that does not make someone an idiot as I have heard people called coming from both sides. If you have to result to names and demeaning someone than your not as smart as you think you are.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery, former Speaker Pelosi. As Feisty Redhead predicted, the naysayers are busy spewing nonsense already.
O please Fiesty,
You really want me to believe that the snide nitwit comment was supposed to be directed at the lefties here? All one has to do is read ONE of these blogs to know you are firmly entrenched in the liberal left with your political views. Everyone knows that you implied that the righties are the nitwits. Stop trying to veil your intentions when you are called out on your double standard.
As for a guilty conscience, Not mine is 100 percent clear about what I post here. I will not claim to be able to control what others post, and that is on them and only them.
There you go again Jeremy, with the assumptions...
Perhaps, if you spent a little less time channeling your inner "Miss Cleo', and actually bothered to read what's been written below about another human being who happens to be ill at the moment, you would comprehend my original comment.
After all, these comments are coming from your comrade's - you must be SO proud!
As a Republican, I sincerely wish Nancy a speedy recovery. She has proved to be one of the best things that has ever happened to our party. After all, she presided over one of the worst thumpings that the Dems have ever experienced. She certainly is the gift that gives and gives. Get well, Nancy, we need you!
Jeremy, you might as well give up, because the members of the left do not nor ever will see the double standard. They view the right as the party of hate but do not see it in themselves. They excuse their own or like mind post, be they filled with hate or derogatory statements. They truly feel they are the enlightened and are so entitled to say what ever they want about those that disagree with their views. They are not open to debate since the only opinon they are open to is their own.
Feisty, I have read many of your posts and for the most part Jeremy is bang on. You insult most people unless they agree with you totally and when confronted you still won't own up to it. You try to insist they misunderstood your intent and still insult them. At try to bring your conversation up to an adult level and have some class.
For all the liberals:
I'm sure your "Get Well Soon Nancy", "Prayers to Nancy and her family", "Best wishes for a speedy recovery", etc. are all very much appreciated by Nancy and her family, but......
did ya read the article?
Sheez...
We sure do need more liberal women!! God speed, Nancy Pelosi!! And for the haters, she was in Rome celebrating the 150th anniversary -- is she not allowed a vacation, either -- or are vacations just reserved for republican presidents ala Dumbya?
I am woman here me roar.......................LMFAO!!!
Oh Feisty, I want Pelosi out of congress. Personally, I wish her a speedy recovery. If you want to see something of what you are expecting, I suggest reading comments about Michelle Bachmann or Sarah Palin. There you won't be disappointed. Sorry to burst your bubble... Have a great day.
JeeWiz... Feisty...
If you are so open minded and not a 'hater' of 'righties'... then why use terms like 'nitwit' at all?
That is a hater term wouldn't you say? (BUSTED) You really seem to like it too. You use it quite frequently and in many past posts, directly connected to the term 'righties'.
You can't hide your hatered Feisty. I am amazed that you even try given how you have acted on this site in the past.
No, Pam - I think Obama has already taken more vacations in 2 years than W did in 8.
The country is runing on CRs right now because Nancy and Harry failed to even bring up a budget ( The first congress EVER to do that since we passed amendments saying it had to happen)
NOBODY in Congress deserves any kind of vacation until a budget is passed. Republican, Democrat, or little green men from Mars...
During 2 terms as President, Bush spent all or of part of 487 days at Camp David, on retreats and made 77 trips to his Crawford Ranch, in Texas, where he spent all or part of 490 days, on his Ranch.
The total number of days of vacation or retreat President Bush took, while in office over a period of 8 years was 977 days, or 32% of his total time in office, was spent on vacations or retreats.
Botox? I thought that was embalming fluid that she was injected with.
I see all the righties are in "Holier than thou" mode today. Such hypocritical piety from the very people who invented hate speech and personal attacks. If there was ever a reasonable conservative comment posted here I do think I might actually choke. So far, right wing business as usual -- keeping the focus on argument, trivia, personality, looks, and personal habits, not on real issues.
Sorry, Cue, but Fiesty set the tone. Seems you never accept that many of your are just as hypocritical and ill-behaved as you claim those on the "right" are. But that, being the uber-intelligentsia that you are, is obvioulsy accepetable. "Nitwit" is not a word that invites civil discourse is it? But, in another case of "do as I say, not as I do" you really wouldn't care, would you? Besides, who's to say you all are not the "nitwits?" Sometimes the syncophancy going on here is beyond the pale, but I would never stoop to the level of calling you all names, as many of you are wont to do.
Reminds me of what William Buckley said, and I paraphrase...'Liberals don't mind of you have an opinion as long as it tis the same as theirs.'
Sorry Cue,
The only person I see using vulgarity here would be a leftie.. Bev is calling the righties MFers, bastards, and the catch all Tea-Baggers.
thoes who live in glass houses.....
Has anybody stopped to think that the reason for her falling ill was likely Berlusconi making a pass at her?
Like I said, "holier than thou" mode. Such rare piety!
Well,
Thank goodness for Obumer-care, it'll surely save her royal majesticness...oh wait...she's exempt, now what?
She gets sick in Rome? She should have visited Northeast Japan instead.
I would probably be that angry too if I lived in Roselle, IL.
Jeremy - Please insult me has the right call. I think that the FR moderators are in fear of their lives of fiesty and her Chihuahua gang. After all, many of us know that fiesty and her gang are the comic relief on the political scene of FR and we sure as heck know she doesn't know what the word "imply" means. Sad really, somewhere in fiesties life something went so terribly wrong. <sigh> And some say conservatives have no pity for the unfortunate like fiesty and her chihuahua gang.
American - speak for yourself. I skip right by Feisty's comments because....
What I'm wondering is - WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR CONGRESSMEN TO GO TO AGHANISTAN?
And I wish that Pelosi was getting her treatment in an American hospital. After all, SHE is the person who wanted health care reform.
Berlusconi has HOT chicks going after him. He's in trouble right now for dating a 17 year old. He WOULD NEVER make a pass a bag like Pelosi.
I think Karen's right about that. Berlusconi goes after women that look like supermodels. Pelosi looks like an extra from a George Romero movie.
How does Feisty always get the first post? Does she have no life, sitting on her computer all day posting her hateful views? Pathetic Redhead is a more appropriate name.
Jeremy and Please Insult ME!
Great job destroying the ALWAYS Angry and Hateful Fiesty Red Head! one thing is for sure, Ol' FRH must lead a pathetic negative life!
Soutenly said: "Can't we all just admit that we hope she dies like the libbies do every time there's a story about Cheney being back in the hospital?" I agree wholehartedly because whenever Cheney hits the hospital i break out my party favors and my favorite dishes and get ready to throw a hurricane party just in case he dies, and I'll be damned if you will get in my way telling the world on MSNBC about it. In fact, I'll come to Fox and sign up for a spam account just so i can say it in your neighborhood.
Taxpayers....do you feel all warm and fuzzy that you're sponsoring another grand vacation? What the hell is Pelosi doing? She's in Italy....what a coincidence; while another "Rome" burns.
Barack Globe trotting, Pelosi seeing the world. Is this what Democrats consider fiscal responsibility? GMAFB!

Speaking of tax dollars being wasted, What is Boehner doing and where are the jobs? You can't answer that I'll bet.
I hope this won't interfere with her sightseeing schedule, or those fine Italian meals and vino.
Nancy, never drink the water in Rome !
Politicians travel, whether they are democrats, republicans, or independents. Get over it.
If republicans would focus on jobs instead of health care, union busting, abortion, etc. maybe we wouldn't focus so much on politicians traveling.
Beverly in Chicago - Those jobs are in China so you can buy a $14.95 hair dryer!
I know Boehner is trying hard for the American people, but last time I checked Obama was president. When Obama can take a break from Concerts, Vacations, golfing, filling out sports brackets, Campaigning, etc. , Maybe he will finally start doing the job of President? He will only be a couple of years too late. Oh, I forgot he did go to work long enough to help Polosi push through that horrible Job killing health care bill!!
Eric, focusing on the disaster health care law is part of restoring jobs in the US. Employers can;t fund this projecta nd are therefore laying people off. Union busting,again, a move to get employers on a path to be able to hire people. competent people. Maybe these politicians should stay the he11 here in the US and quit running off, do the job they were paid for, not vacationing with their family on spring break in Brazil , or screwing around in Italy getting more plastic surgery of whatever she is doing. How much are these trips costing. When was the last time you had a all expense paid trip to Brazil or Italy?
Beverly in Chicago,
Bohner and the rest of the members of Congress are on a 10 day recess. So I guess the blame should be equally spread between both parties, we are operating on a 3 wk CR and all the top players are off doing whatever the heck it is they do. They all need to be locked in a big room somewhere in DC and told they cannot leave until they have a 2011 budget. They can bring their cots, sandwiches and water and get down to business.
eric-blah.blah.blah says:
If republicans would focus on jobs instead of health care, union busting, abortion etc. maybe we wouldn't focus so much on politicians traveling.
The I am a registered democrat and private sector union member but must point out that republicans have been in office for just a few months and the democrats were in control of the presidency, the house, and the senate for two years and just what did they focus on? Let's see, oh that's right it was health care - billions spent, taking over the auto industry - billions spent, taking over the mortgage industry - billions spent etc.
So eric just what is your point! Where are the jobs the democrats promised in the two years they were in control? Please don't show your ignorance by claiming that they saved millions of jobs, there is no proof that you can show me or anyone else with any common sence that would be believable.
The Beev, you do know that Congress is on another break, whether we like it or not that is what Congress does when on break.
Mr Boehner , set up the session this way, they work two weeks and then are off a week, isn't it lovely no matter what side your on.?
That said, my best wishes to Minority Leader Pelosi, she is a very valuable member of our Party and I hope she feels better.
I guess the idea that republicans take trips overseas on the tax payer dollar is okay. I'd be a millionaire if I had $1 for everytime a conservative criticizes a democrat for trips abroad while ignoring the fact that republicans do the same. Foreign trips by legislators is a bi-partisan effort.
President Bush went to Beijing for the Olympics.
...crickets...
Maybe Pelosi feels ill because she realizes that her illustrious savior, Obama, has subverted the Constitution by relinquishing the sovereignty of this nation, to the UN...Just like Bush. The Constitution does not authorize the President to unilaterally engage another country in an act of military aggression without a vote in Congress!!... It is not the will of the people or of Congress...OBAMA---THE UNENDING WAR PRESIDENT!! He should be impeached and subsequently removed from office!!
I say its an ancient Italian family curse.
Sorry, you are incorrect here Patrick.
Obama is well within his powers here.
Perhaps you would prefer it if he were in Crawford clearing weeds? Did you complain when Bush took more vacation time than any other president or reading My Pet Goat while NY burned?
Ask Nancy where are the jobs. Unemployment was under 5% when she took control of the house of reps. The dems are still in control. Ask them where are the jobs.
Let Me Be Clear! Pelousi needs to find the nearest rocking chair, park her behind in it because she is too haggard to handle the job. Just like her looks, her career has faded...
Jim in Dallas. You took the words out of my mouth so I'll just repost yours! You are exactly correct.
2012 can not come soon enough for me. 8 MORE MONTHS AND WE WILL START CAMPAIGNING FOR OBAMA'S REPLACEMENT.
Jody, Iowa
I guess the idea that republicans take trips overseas on the tax payer dollar is okay. I'd be a millionaire if I had $1 for everytime a conservative criticizes a democrat for trips abroad while ignoring the fact that republicans do the same. Foreign trips by legislators is a bi-partisan effort.
Jody every politician takes trips part of the job and that is ok. She was in Afghanistan mybe a photo op with those GI's holding their trophies as released by Der Spegiel you know the kind of photos that the left became unhinged on from Abu Graib. Perhaps that made her ill.
I would own the planet if I had a dollar everytime a liberal uttered the words Sarah Palin-stupid, b-----,etc, Bush did it, Bush is incompetent, moron, loser dumb. Dick Cheney is darth vader etc.
If any liberals cared to, I would suggest you read President Bush's book Decision Points very interesting and might even change some of your harsh criticisms of him. Just a Thought. Have a nice day.
Jon Exner
"So eric just what is your point! Where are the jobs the democrats promised in the two years they were in control?"
The point Eric, Bev and Feisty are making is that they will go down with the ship and don't want any other options.
vera @ 2.15
that was the most idiotic post of the day!
first, at least GW is capable of doing real work. i would bet obama has never done an ounce of "work" in his life. and that is simply un-American. obama wouldn't know how to "clear weeds" unless he was smoking them, that alone cut down trees.
and let me get this straight. YOU are such a hateful liberal hack that you are going to fault GW for reading a book to school children, REALLY! that had a very beneficial impact on those kids (they have said as much when later interviewed) and YOU are going to make it a hyper-partisan rant.
your life must be PATHETIC!
Beev, did you miss the part about the trip being a bipartisan effort? Italy happens to be one of our partners in the Libya action, so probably not a wonderful idea to ignore them.
Nancy Pelosi is probably the sharpest, most powerful female politican in America. I expect her to be back with no ill effects.
I hate to break it to you, but whoever told you this garbage (probably the corrupt MSnbc Media), LIED!! LOL
Yeah, the real power house is Sarah Palin..... (sarcasm)
Best wishes for Nancy Pelosi's quick recovery....
However, the moonbatty posts yet again demonstrate that Leftist Derangement Syndrome, divorced from reality, is a permanent condition which the libs will never recover from....
Ron is as brain dead as Pelosi!!
Looking over the left side of the aisle, I'm not sure Hillary would agree with your assessment, Ron.
I think that big slice of humble pie from Nov keeps coming back up.
she probably picked up a bug while flying commercial. awwwwwwwwww
Probably sick that her beloved prez got us in another war and did just like GWBush.
Ron Indiana
"Nancy Pelosi is probably the sharpest, most powerful female politican in America. I expect her to be back with no ill effects. "
As a lifelong Democrat I cannot even buy that line of hoey. Pelosi should have gone back to the ranks after her FAILURE as Speaker. Tired of hearing how effective she has been. She changed no ones mind on any of the critical issues (healthcare, banking and market regulation) and dragged along those below her by the ears. And she has contributed to the partisan mood. As horrible as the GOP/TP has been we must have realistic expectations of our own and Pelosi has not met those standards IMO.
Forget partisanship, we must deal with reality, Pelosi, (and this has nothing to do with her sex) was a FAILURE as Speaker.
Get well our fearless leader. We ten Nancys in the House.
I agree beverly in chicago we need 10 nancys washing out the stench she left in the house!
HaHaHa.... I just love Bev's posts... they are like a puzzle... since I ALWAYS have to try to decipher what she is trying to say.
'we ten Nancys in the House.'
we ten Nancys.... that's GREAT! Keep 'em coming Bev!
Jon Exner, she is still there..in the House and wll be for some time to come.
Heaven only knows what we will have to do to clean up when John Boehner is out of there..in 2012.
That poor fellow cant get out of his own way and the vaunted Tea party. Maybe it is just as well they take a week off every two-three weeks, they can do less damage that way.
Pardon me gingerbread manna I should have said when she left the speaker of the house position. As a rational thinking democrat I could not vote for any democrat that would vote fancy nancy back into that position.
Every time I see her face or hear her voice I become ill.
So do you live in a gingerbread house, or just like to me called a ridiculous name?
"The Stop Pelosi, Reid and Obama Express has come to a complete stop- Phase one, Complete!"
That catchy little intro is played on Hannity's radio show each afternoon. Funny, though- I thought Pelosi, Reid and Obama were all still on the job???
Hey, Nancy- get well soon. We need you to remain- on the job!
We will see how that stop is working in the next elections -- RECALL, RECALL, RECALL TeaGOPlicans.
The big thing that has stopped is the republicans and jobs....or did it ever start?
drive-by-observer you need to STOPand smell the skunks, namely pelosi, reid and obama. You might learn something!
But- are they still on the job, or have they been 'stopped'? Skunks?? OoooooKaayyyy.....
DBO... you may be right about the fact that they are still there... but on the job?
More like neutered and causing no more trouble!
It's only fitting that she should be ill....she made the whole country ill for two years. A shame she didn't get sick here so she could take advantage of Obama Care and see...oh, wait just a dang minute, forgot, those who are forced Obama Care on us aren't subjected to it themselves..nevermind. I'm sure she'll be fine, probably just another bad case of the dumba$$ hitting her.
Oh, I think the democrats made things much better. Here's the proof.
Jobless Claims Graph: http://www.bullandbearwise.com/InitialJoblessChart.asp
GDP Graph: http://www.bea.gov/newsreleases/national/gdp/gdp_glance.htm
Dow Jones Graph: http://www.forecast-chart.com/stock-dow-industrial.html
You seem to like thoes links, as I have seen you post them over and over...
How about you show me a graph of the GDP, and our economic growth with Gvmnt spending taken out of it.. There is a reason why we have ANY growth at all right now. the Gvmnts borrowing money from the future to spend today.
If she has eaten some bad food, she'll have to pass it before they know what's in it. There's your healthcare.
Since the health care bill was modeled after the lawmaker's health care plan which was a model for RomneyCare in Massachusetts, I'd say we're a lot better off having passed that legislation than not. Funny, I haven't heard one GOPTP legislator complaining about THEIR health care plan (in fact, some newly elected TPers demanded it start before they were sworn in) yet they complain constantly about providing the same type benefits to the American people.
Jim in Dallas: Better read the bill again and stop spewing the lies. Congress must purchase from one of the insurance pools that will be set in in 2014. So yes, they are subject to the bill. Another uninformed right winger it appears.
I think she ate so me BAD Italian is all
I don't wish ill on her, and hope she recovers from whatever malady she's experiencing. That said, I also hope her constituents come to their senses next election cycle and decide she should retire.
That'll never happen. Not in San Fran, the looney-tunes capital of the world.
I realize Nancy is not a very bright or pro-American woman, but I hope she feels better. I would never wish ill feelings on anyone. I think she could learn a lot by living in a communist country for a while. Perhaps she would change some of here communist beliefs and ways. Get well soon.
Realhope

Despite your opinion of Nancy, I think it is a nice gesture to wish her well. Too bad others who disagreed with her and the President couldn't be as conciliatory. Although you may not agree, like I said before we need 10 Nancys in the House.
Communist?? You're kidding, right? Communist ways?? Please explain, or do you just watch glenidiot beck? Please tell me about your education...(or lack there of)
Beverly, I too am from Chicago. 10 Nancy's in the house? Aren't enough people in Chicago already on welfare? Tell me when you go to Dominick's you don't see more "Link Cards" than any other form of payment, and that is next to the gold coast.
ChiCity

I shop at the Jewels; missy or sir; dunno which you are. You do know many working people including the cashiers have assistance?
Perhaps, if those greedy Robber Barons bas-t@ds on Wall Street, the Bannkstas, oil companies. and CEOs didn't cheat and would create jobs people wouldn't need welfare.
One thing I detest is the conservative chatter claiming they are the real Americans. Bull puckey. We may disagree on ideology but I am a real American who happens to be liberal--no more or no less real American than republicans.
Bev: can you imagine the vile hatered that the left would spew if Palin were ill?
Good point CAL20...but, you'll never get an answet to that, and if you did, I'm sure it would be okay with Bev AND Fiesty...
Despite your opinion of Nancy, I think it is a nice gesture to wish her well. Too bad others who disagreed with her and the President couldn't be as conciliatory. Although you may not agree, like I said before we need 10 Nancys in the House
Does Barney Frank count as one if so only 9 nancys needed. lol
Bev, I see you are praising Nancy and attacking wall street, again. You are aware that her husband is up to his eyebrows on wall street as an investment banker, don't you? But of course that is OK, as long as it is Nancy.
Hypocrites make the world go round.
obviously, she should refrain from applying Holy Water
Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read this one. I'd have fried another keyboard... Thanks for the giggle
HaHaHa!!!!!!
'Your mother sews socks that smell!'
mitch j: I agree!
Vampires know what happens to them with Holy Water :-) They BURST in to flames!
Separately... it's a bit more than IRONIC that "Pelosi just happened to feel ILL in Rome?"
Coincidence? Maybe? At the very least... INSTANT KARMA ?
In spite of how much I absolutely DETEST Pelosi and find her to be one of the most REPULSIVE political figures ever... NO, I never would wish her or anyone "ill will".
Your kidding right?
The collective IQ of the planet just went up a couple points of her not trying to string a sentence together.
And you thought there was independent mutterings there, LOL it was only the muffled sound of her head up Obama's rectum.
Oh and who pays for her Italian "working" vacation that I'm sure is in all of us plebs best interest.
HowdwegetherE
And you thought there was independent mutterings there, LOL it was only the muffled sound of her head up Obama's rectum.
Ugggggh, what kind of slur is that sound we hear when Boehnoer gulps on the House floor? I don't think it's his gavel.
The world hears you t-baggers gnawing at of President Obama"s posterior; like a bunch of stupid greedy bas-t@rds. In reality you're a bunch of Koch suckers.
You t-baggers are enough to make people gag with your disrepect.
I'm offended being called a tbag-er, and i think that gulp you hear is shear terror of trying to right this joke of a country and the direction its heading. Obama care yeah, another epic idea, like fannie/freddie.
I'm not even going to put blame on our noble tel-a promptor in chief BUT where is that chicke....(oh thats right hows about a cool 2plus trillion right to the banks, and Obammy on Opra defending the bonus they paid themselves) and not 1 indictment or perp walk....change we can believe in.
you do remember those retards dancing around because Obama....the first black pres and all...yep great qualifications, and you being from Chicago and can't see this, nor the corruption/incompetance
tbaggers i'd rate that moron Palin right up there with that moron (we got to pass it to know whats in it) polosi
Please widen your gaze
HowdwegetherE

Offended? You mean you're not a t-bagger? I recall t-bagger earned the word of the year in the Oxford dictionary. You should be proud of who you are.
Your gulp is because you all are a bunch of scary mummyfu^ck#rs
enjoy that goverment cheese while it lasts or before those coupons run out bev,
anyway, looks like polosi will continue to jetset the world and represent the Beverly's of the ussa
GO RON PAUL
here you go Beverly, please widen your gaze

Howdweget: The same people are paying for her are also paying for the Republicans who are along with her. Or did you miss that part about a bipartisan trip? Of course you did.
I'm hearing you Verno, didn't Polosi loose her job?
Not as a Congress woman she didn't. So what's your point.
golly - over a 100 posts because pelosi had indigestion. if it was about bachman or palin it would be closer to a 1000! lmao!
Beverly in Chicago HowdwegetherE
And you thought there was independent mutterings there, LOL it was only the muffled sound of her head up Obama's rectum.

You t-baggers are enough to make people gag with your disrepect.
Really Bev I am a Tea Party member and proud to be for smaller govt, less taxes and I really don't like the negative connotation of T-bagger. If you check you do not see any posts where I denigrate any words attached to your point of view. Everyone has their own opinions and that is what makes this country great. Did I vote for Obama, no but I don't want him to fail either. I don't think any sane person wants this country to fail. So can we cut out the crap and discuss things civilly. Oh and just for FRH Pelosi just needed a botox injection her botox sugar level was low. lol
i am sure its just "astroturf"
With any luck she won't make it back to the US ever.
WOW! That is the kind of comment we usually hear from the left about Mr. Cheney.
They can have cheney too
was she there to correct the Church's Prince on policy about abortions again?
perhaps this time there was an answer!
Get well soon leader Pelosi your leadership and political skills are most needed!!!!!
Stay well, Nancy, you'll be replacing nojobs Boner in just a few more months...
Thank goodness shes OK === Now if she were a republican who do you think would want her dead?
She makes me ill when I hear hear her voice or see her fake grin. My crappy health care will not see me for this common malady so I just bear it. On the other hand she can use her exempt from Obama Care Golden Health Care Plan so I'm not worried. She may come out with a larger cup size.
That's not a grin, it's the Botox (That one was for Feisty. I'd hate for her to be disappointed that she was the only one who made the reference)
Time: it appears you are another one of the uninformed. All of Congress must purchase their health care from one the the insurance pools to be set up in 2014. Read and study a little, it won't really hurt you.
Since it is only 2011 she is still covered by the existing plan. I doubt the cost of treating her in 2011 is going to be delayed until 2014.
I'm thinking swine flu
Caused from "pigging out" on our tax dollars in Italy.
It's pretty funny that folks who think they're good guys are wishing illness on someone else.
Sylv,
When that other person is literally a danger to the liberty of out great Country I pray they go away. She was/is drunk with power - if she had a standing army and her own Country we would need to shoot missiles at her. And you know it.
You people are all MORONS.
This was a elected official, Pelosi, that said our unemployment is good for the economy and borrowing billions from foreign nations to pay for the high unemployment will make for a strong economy.
This country is in deep trouble with people who think like you. You have no common sense, can't think for yourselves, and you lack the ability to logically reason anything out. Your just MORONS
You'll all do extremely well when this country becomes a 3rd world nation as a result of debt. You don't have to have a brain to survive in a 3rd world nation.
I don't wish Pelosi ill other than wish and hope she'll leave elective service.
Doberman:
It's You're not your (are just Morons) Thanks for irony!
Time to say no
I don't apologize for my Dyslexia. It's as much a part of me as you lack of having a brain is part of you.
My problem is the difficulty I have in reconizing my written mistakes, not my ability to think.

You people are all MORONS.

It is.
MORON it stimulates the economy. The UI people spend money immediately. It provides the working people the opportunity to join the employment lines too. That keeps the economy going; you know. The crooks and liars on Wall Street hoard money in savings or put it in off shore accounts.
Did you criticize the Bush Economic Stimulus Package when he gave 20 million retirees on Social Security and disabled veterans a check for $300 ($600 for couples) if they earned at least $3,000 in 2007 in benefits?

Yes, I personally think Bush was the worse President in our Country's history. But I must admit Obuma is over taking him as the worse.
I would like to see elected people serve the people of this Country, rather than their party, themselves and the lobbyist that put millions into the war chests of both parties.
I don't enjoy watching this country being turn into a 3rd world nation by the elected people who have taken an oath to protect it.
From what I've read on Newsvine is that most Americans aren't interest in the values or expectations I have concerning the behavior of their elected officials. They blindly accept their part's BS without one thought to the consequences.
Americans have become junkies and addicted to the political wind that runs this country. Morons who can't think for themselves. They come to accept that lobbyists or self service that is behind every act of Congress, as business as usual and it okay. I don't.
With pork Barrel projects, ear marks and creating an elitists group for themselves that looks down on the common people, members of Congress have made themselves the aristocrats our founding father were trying to escape from.
The sad part is the American people accept this.
Doberman, There are some in who are more conservative independent that saw Bushs short comings, and recognize that both parties have not elected the best or the brightest by any length of measure. Party first seems to be the very definition of a politician. For them they count on blind obedience from their following. This is shown many times over when we see an elected official, under investigation, or even in court, returned to office by the voters. Nothing say lemming like voting for a guy who may be going to jail simply because he represents your party.

If I such a moron than why do I know that the only way to create a long term strong economy is through private sector employment.
Why do I know that borrowing money from foreign nations will destroy our economy and not improve it. Maybe because I know that credit and using it does nothing but create a false illusion of making things better.
Why do I say this. If you would use your brain then you would understand the simple principle of Credit. You have to, one, pay the money back, and two, pay interest on that borrowed money.
Now, if I what I read was true that this country is barely able to pay the interest on our foreign loans and our government is borrowing more to run our government and pay the interest on those foreign loans, then we are in trouble as a country.
Next, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know the interest we are paying on that borrowed money from a foreign nation is leaving this country and being used to build those foreign nations economies, not our economy.
Why would any American accept this? Its just common sense that tells you something is terrible wrong and if its isn't corrected, our country will at best become a 3rd world nation.
1 plant closing and three additional downsizing have taught me the good and bad of borrowing. What our government is doing is so far in the bad, there can only be one result.

Dead people get voted into office all the time, what can I say.
This country was founded on the principle that our laws were to be applied equally to all citizens. Yet we have a Congress that continually passes laws in which they exclude themselves from the law they just passed.
Boy, if that doesn't tell you something is not only wrong, but there is an attack on the freedoms of this country by the people who have taken an oath to protect it, well then I say, you are a moron.
The health care reform is a good example of this practice. Congress not only exluded themselves from this law, they excluded 30 million plus American from getting any type of medical services. There are millions of Americans that think this is alright. To those American I say, you are a moron.
In order for our laws and the American way of life to survive, our laws must be applied equally to all. Congress has no Constitutional right to exclude themselves from any law they pass. Its so unAmerican its shameful. Yet the people of this country accept this from Congress as business as usual.
Its our downfall.

Because it didn't work under the tax cut to private sectors for 8 yrs under Bush

There is no way President Obama, btw, that is his name could possibly be worst than former President Bush. Let's take one issue.
Was Bush able to form a US coalition force which included the Arab League to attack on Libya? Since those of Arabs, except the Saudis whom he literally kissed for oil, as the Axis of Evil.
56% of Americans say they would favor the U.S. and other allied countries establishing a "no-fly zone" in Libya, with 4 in 10 opposed.

President Obama didn't use the Cowboy go it along diplomacy.
Now look at other things President Obama accomplished That President Bush didn't just to name a few...
Really Bev? You gonna cut and paste another poster's cut and paste? OK.
passed Health Care Reform (Like It Or Not) Health Care Reform Bill, preventing insurance companies from denying insurance because of a pre-existing condition - Great, my taxes will go up to pay for your healthcare.
stabilized our financial system - Really? It is stable? Ever heard of quantitative easing? Enjoying those higher gas prices?
Health Care Reform Bill allowed children to remain covered by their parents' insurance until the age of 26 - See #1.
enhanced the US standing in the world. - Not a quantifiable statement. Purely subjective.
DADT - I will give you this one. It was not for civilians to decide. Obama is, however, Commander in Chief
Lily Ledbetter Act - I will give you this one also. It did nothing for equal rights, though. It only expanded the statute of limitations.
Significantly expanded Pell grants, which help low-income students pay for college - No arguments but where is that money coming from?
Reversed the policy of barring media coverage during the return of fallen soldiers to Dover Air Force Base - Absolutely agree. This lets Americans see exactly what our soldiers and their families sacrifice.
Provided the Department of Veterans Affairs with more than $1.4 billion to improve services to America's Veterans - Once again, I agree. Veterans should get the Congressional Golden Parachute, as far as their healthcare is concerned.
Signed the Children's Health Insurance Reauthorization Act, which provides health care to 11 million kids -- 4 million of whom were previously uninsured - I agree that in order for kids to have a fighting chance at a happy life they need to be healthy. Where I have a difference is helping those that will not help themselves. There needs to be a time limit set on welfare. I have seen fourth generation welfare recipients. If you are on the public dole, do not reproduce.
Issued executive order to repeal Bush era restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research - Never understood the repubs on this one except they use aborted babies for stem cells.
Lifted restrictions granting Cuban Americans unrestricted rights to visit family and send remittances to the island - Never understood this one either.
Takes one to know one. And while were at it, My Dad can kick your Dad's a$$.....
LOL @ crocodile-mick. Are you Exodite Dragon's long lost brother?
New budget cuts for the still pending FY-11 budget:
Pell Grants will be cut at the level that have paid out..which means students will lose a good portion of their grants.
Congress wants to increase the TRICARE costs that vets pay for their medical coverage.
My healthcare costs have already increased. I renewed my policy through my employer, exact same policy with two important changes. 1. I now have a co-pay where before it was $0 co-pay and 2. my premium increased $60.00/month. So in a sense, I have less coverage, since I now have to pay a co-pay, and it costs more. Plus, dental and vision are now NOT included which was a part of that cost increase for a health savings account.
DADT: agreed..it wasn't a civilian court decision. Former Pres Clinton initiated DADT in order to allow gays to serve at all where before they were completely barred. I still argue that if society thinks it was unconstitutional now to have DADT in place, it should have been declared unconstitutional when former Pres Clinton implemented it. I was on active duty when it was implemented and people were heralding it as a major victory. No, I am not worried about working alongside gays; I just can't offer a solid feeling on how I would feel if I was still on active duty.
Enhanced US standing: snubbed from the marriage for Prince William; snubbed the King of Norway (left country prior to state dinner) after Pres Obama "accepted" the Nobel Peace Prize..not for what he had already done but sort of a "just in case" you are going to do which is opposite the requirements..I refer people to the website with requirements at http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/
Pres Obama isn't the be all end all of presidents. Can't deny he has a hard job but that pedestal some people have him on needs to be limited in height.
She is looking a little downtrodden these days (and I'll leave it at that)...while I agree that I wouldn't wish ill health on anyone, I will also agree she needs to retire. Personally, I was surprised that she had the brass buttons to run for minority leader..then again, this IS Pelosi.
U.S. taxpayers paid for this "holiday" too ... trip ...
The President has left the building, so why shouldn't his lap dogs. They are all seeking new sources of borrowing now that China has, yet again warned, Obuma about his lack of financial responsibility.
Yes they did Mother Goosestep, but for Dems and Republicans. Or do you think they didn't pay for the
Republicans, just the Dems? This was a bipartisan trip.
God to Pelosi - you are not welcome here!!
what a caring human being you are....
Good. Please go ahead and keep her
!
Give poor Nancy an enema & all will be OK.................... might want to take her outside where you have access to a water hose & a sewer drain, it's gonna be a monumental mess!
Lawyer Hater - Yeah, she is really full of it so stand by everone!
