TheHill.com - Pelosi dismisses need for bipartisanship
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she didn’t come to Washington to be “bipartisan”, one day after shuttling through an $819 economic stimulus bill without a single Republican vote.
“I didn’t come here to be partisan, I didn’t come here to be bipartisan,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference. “I came here, as did my colleagues, to be nonpartisan, to work for the American people, to do what is in their interest.”
Pelosi expressed no regrets over passing the stimulus measure without any GOP support. Republicans followed their leaders in objecting to the bill on the grounds that it was put together without GOP input, and that it would not do enough to stimulate the economy.
Repeating the term “nonpartisan” on more than one occasion in describing the bill, the Speaker said her goal was to put President Obama’s vision on paper for the good of the country regardless of the type of support it garnered.
Doesn’t matter what she says. When this bloated, pig-meat monstrosity blows up in her botoxed face a year down the road, we’re going to hang the Democratic Party - and this bill - around her neck like a noose.

See, this is her “out” - when things “go wrong” (i.e., when this high-priced, deep-fried-in-pure-lard load of bull cookies goes south on us all), she will a) try to blame the “partisan” GOP and/or b) claim she was “only following the Will Of The People,” in that Hussein The Won had SPOKEN! - and, since he was
electedcrowned and placed upon the throne by the peeple, she simply could not do otherwise.Listen - and you will hear the sound of hands being washed -
So: How long before the next bailout
billbucket of double-deep-fried chitlins greases the floor of Congress, and what group will be the alleged primary recipient of its largesse?I’m betting on the bankers making another run - they’ve already sucked their prior load out of sight, without doing more than slightly slowing the rate of failures - it’s just about time for a fresh load of Other People’s Money…

J.S., got it in one!
Too easy, O.G. - big fish in a small barrel would be difficult, compared with some of this stuff.
Next in line will be the U.S. car companies for a second round (you heard it here first), neck-and-neck with the reps of other “trade union”-operated/controlled U.S. corps (like, say, whatever organization currently represents the largest group of unionized construction companies)…
