Even those loyal to her base are starting to turn on her. First, we get 60 Minutes on Sunday, now we get Jon Stewart's Daily Show: Jon Stewart to Nancy Pelosi: Why didnât Dems pass a budget when they had the chance? Good question, Mr. Stewart. Nancy Pelosi answers in typical Nancy Pelosi fashion â by saying âRepublicans would have filibustered it.â Too bad budgets canât be filibustered. They require a simple majority in both House and Senate to pass. Whatâs more: When Democrats did control both houses, they had a supermajority in the Senate. Republicans could have filibustered only with the help of Democrats. No way to pin this one on Republicans â and, yet, Pelosi still tries. Predictable. more
It's obvious from just that exchange that Nancy Pelosi is either a lier or extremely ignorant. Probably a lot of both.
