Pelosi: I Am a ‘Target' Because I Am a ‘Master Legislator,' ‘Politically Astute Leader'
2017-06-23
[Breitbart] Thursday when asked about criticisms that her leadership contributed to the recent special election losses for the Democratic Party, House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she was a "target" because she is "a master legislator."

Pelosi said, "We believe there’s a real opportunity. Now, it’s not a slam dunk. History is on our side, but it takes strategic, unified and disciplined -- to have harmony. It doesn’t mean we have anonymity, but we have unity when it comes to that fight. Should I sing my praises? Well, I am a master legislator. I am a strategic politically astute leader. My leadership is recognized by many around the country, and that is why I am able to attract the support that I do which is essential to our election, sad to say.
Well beyond chutzpah.
"I am very pleased that the cooperation that we’re doing working with all the social media and small donor community to change how we communicate but also how we attract resources, intellectual and financial to the party," she continued. "I have experience in winning the Congress. When people said to us in 2005, you don’t have a chance, be prepared for a Republican permanent majority, I said -- Harry Reid and I said we don’t accept that. We proceeded. We took the president from 58 to 38. President Bush won the election. The fact is they will always make a target. Senator Reid was a target. Senator Daschle was a target. Tip O’Neill is a target. I am a target. They always want to choose our leaders and usually, they go after the most effective leaders because they want to take us, diminish the opportunity that we have."

#18  I suspect the teets she have been tuggin' on all these years have gone dry after GA6 and that will mean the end for her. Staff needs to take cover when she finally realizes the gig is up because that upper dental plate could knok your head off when it comes flying out of her mouth.

#17  Political rumors and Washington are often driven by hidden indicators. Take for example the pizza index of the Pentagon where you can tell how serious planning is for some events by order out for pizza. In the case of political players one of the key inside indicators not seen by the public which provesthat something is afoot to their media friends is the sudden interest in sending out resumes and calls about new positions by the staff of a key leader when they sense the end is coming and that is what substantiates this rumor I suspect.

#15  Pelosi holds a high opinion of herself. Out here in fly-over land, the land of the despicables, it is not shared.

#10  I'm still in the "Weekend at Bernie's" camp. It's her staff that doesn't want to give up the power and perks. She may have her lucid moments, but the read head is skipping on the disk drive.

#9  Her statement literally disproves what she claims.

To which Nancy might reply "I made hundreds of millions in this business: who are you - you little sh*t, who probably has to work for a living, to criticize me?"

#8  Her statement literally disproves what she claims. A politically astute leader would never say it.

#7  Dunning-Krieger indeed. The Sergeant at Arms may wish to have the gurney, restraints, and lorazepam drip standing ready.

"I certainly hope the Democrats do not force Nancy P out. That would be very bad for the Republican Party - and please let Cryin' Chuck stay!"

#3  She got along for a long time because she had a Rolodex of Californicators who would finance Dims launder money and etc. If they ever start cutting her tribe of cunts off then she'll shown the door.

#1  And I am Marie of Romania. Not to imply that Nancy is a senile old bag, but there is something to be said for going out on top - while you can still form coherent sentences.
