Wow, Nancy, I threw up in my mouth a little......

[Logical]

Unbelievable to me that Pelosi could say this about this disgusting human being. He is a POS who does not give a shit about the average American.

Here is what Pelosi said....

This House will continue to be led by a proud son of Ohio and a happy fan of the Ohio State football team. A man of abiding faith, great heart and deep dedication, John Boehner is truly a gentleman from Ohio. Congratulations to you, John, Mr. Speaker, to Debbie, your daughters Lindsay and Tricia, and the entire Boehner family. Thank you for sharing John Boehner with us, Debbie. God bless you and your family, Mr. Speaker.

1. She's in the club.

[L0oniX]

9. +1

[bravenak]

2. You, me and the Tea Party are all nauseous.

He kissed her too. Eewww.

[HughBeaumont]

8. I imagine you'd be instantly buzzed from one of his pecks.

Johnny Walker Orange couldn't lead a pack of bankers to a 9 foot high pile of money.

[bravenak]

16. Maybe that's why she let him kiss her?

Gotta be drunk to deal with Congress. I'd need more than a bit of booze. If I ever go to congress just poison me.

[Enrique]

[bravenak]

13. Thanks, man.

My eyes hurt now. May be going blind...

[1StrongBlackMan]

45. That's a ...

"once a year, yucky Uncle Weirdo" kiss.

Nothing to worry ourselves about.

[bravenak]

47. Yeah, still...

Eww.
That breath!

[sabrina 1]

31. Aw, how sweet, all that bi-partisanship while the little people fight amongst each other.

[ronnie624]

36. A moment of clarity.

[cwydro]

59. I saw that too.

So inappropriate.

And sickening.

[bravenak]

60. She didn't look like a consenting party. Creepy.

[cwydro]

64. Yeah.

That was my thought too.

[tritsofme]

3. Would you have her spit in his face?

Pelosi hasn't always been my favorite, but she definitely has class. I'm really perplexed that anyone could be genuinely offended by a colleague offering generic pleasantries at a special event.

[Logical]

12. Bullshit, you don't realize what that man wants to do to.....

Democratic causes I guess.

You can be polite but that was fucking stupid. Say congratulations and shake his hand.

[Cosmic Kitten]

38. +1

[Scuba]

51. + another

[a kennedy]

14. Ditto to this, that IS the way of the House and Senate,

"my great friend from Ohio", "my esteemed colleague" all House and Senate pleasantries on the first day of a new Congress....

[2naSalit]

15. ^^THIS^^

[Scootaloo]

28. I would have her not slobber on herself, is what

[1StrongBlackMan]

49. Rule #1 of international posting ...

Ignore all your real life experience to strike a ultra - tough persona.

[1StrongBlackMan]

57. That seems easy enough to accomplish ...

Contact them via PM ...arrange a time and place ... and have at it. Just like a Craig ' s list booty call.

[Warren Stupidity]

66. I'm pretty sure that there were other choices.

[fredamae]

4. Off Camera and Behind the

Curtain--they all play well together.

[Enrique]

5. there is no politician who will not utter such pleasantries

except for possibly Alan Grayson, there is no democratic politician who will talk about Republicans in the same terms we do.

[el_bryanto]

6. It's the sort of thing you have to say

It's discouraging, but she has to work with this POS - and making superficial gestures like this don't cost us much.

Bryant

[Orsino]

7. We forced her to work with a lot of evil assholes.

I expect her not to indulge in the petty or slanderous recriminations those assholes employ.

[riqster]

18. S'truth. Elections have consequences.

[Orsino]

20. I will also defend throwing up in one's mouth...

...for that same reason.

[riqster]

23. I wouldn't be surprised if Ms. Pelosi did so when she had to utter such platitudes.

God knows I have felt thus when having to be polite to vermin in work situations.

[Orsino]

29. And having to pose while being kissed...

...as though she's some sort of hunting trophy. Which I guess she is, to Republican voters.

[riqster]

33. He and his outsized gavel.

[msanthrope]

30. Thread win on that one. nt

[Blue_Tires]

55. +1

[jwirr]

10. You know when you want your party to look innocent while the other party takes the blame you do

not throw the first punch. She was introducing him to the congress. As far as I can see she was not going to start the war. Let him and his gang do that. It will not be remembered what she said but that they threw the first punch.

[Blue_Adept]

17. I hope you talk shit about all the awful people you work with too

Because, you know, that always goes over so very well.

[Logical]

22. Lol.....

So, you either say that shit or punch him? Deep thinker?

How about saying "congratulations" shake his hand and move on?

[HappyMe]

19. Well, she certainly can't say

'Here's the orange asshat'. Or say something that could be considered ungracious or mean. That wouldn't accomplish anything.

[Logical]

21. Right, like there is no In Between!

[HappyMe]

25. Of course there is.

I don't think that this is anything to get worked up about.

[LanternWaste]

46. Not when In-Between is defined as forcing someone to throw up in their mouth.

Not when a benign, inconsequential In-Between is defined as forcing someone to throw up in their mouth.

[KingCharlemagne]

24. Coffee, meet monitor! Seriously, my faith in American democracy would be

restored instantly were Pelosi to say anything even remotely similar to that. OMG! Maybe the 50% of the electorate who don't bother to vote might get off their duffs too for a little breath of Roseanne Barr-style fresh air

[HappyMe]

34. People should get off their duffs to vote

with or without Roseanne Barr comments. I have worked with people I wanted to introduce as an asshat, but you just can't say things like that about co-workers.

[KingCharlemagne]

39. At least not in the modern era. Things were not, however, nearly so genteel back in the

19th century:

On May 22, 1856, in the United States Congress, Representative Preston Brooks attacked Senator Charles Sumner with his walking cane in retaliation for a speech given by Sumner two days earlier. The beating nearly killed Sumner and it drew a sharply polarized response from the American public on the subject of the expansion of slavery in the United States. It has been considered symbolic of the "breakdown of reasoned discourse" that eventually led to the American Civil War.

[Recursion]

26. I don't know that ungracious concession speeches are very a good idea in politics (nt)

[MoonRiver]

27. Pretty damn revolting

[Action_Patrol]

32. It's his big day

She says something nice just like the opposite party usually says something nice on Inauguration Day. It's their day to celebrate.

[BeyondGeography]

35. I'm sure the rwnj's reading that feel just as you do

if it's any consolation.

[nruthie]

37. They are all in the same club of hypocrites.

[unblock]

40. companies give employees new and improved titles when they don't want to give them raises.

in washington, blowing smoke up someone's butt costs next to nothing and might result in a more meaningful, if modest, payoff later.

pelosi will no doubt have many opportunities to denounce republican ideas, but there's little to gain from denouncing a republican winning the speakership given the republican house majority.

it's like, you know, basic politics.

[world wide wally]

41. It doesn't matter what she says.

And with the Republican major majority, there is little she can do either. I'm afraid that the Prez is on his own now when it comes to doing what is right for the people of this country and it is going to be a long, brutal battle that I hope he can handle.
In short, we're fucked.

[Neon Gods]

42. Pelosi was probably fighting a gag reflex when she said that

This is the kind of shit politicians in Congress have to do on the first day of a new Congress. It's just another reason why I could never hack it as a politician. I'm certain Pelosi didn't mean it, and I'm just as certain Boehner and the Republicans know that too!

[1StrongBlackMan]

43. Never been in the position to have to give ...

false (insincere) praise, in order to maintain a working relationship, huh?

Happens all the time in the real world.

[Turbineguy]

44. I'm guessing she would prefer

to say nice things about him at his funeral. The way people often do.

[Zorra]

48. If she is not being sincere, then it is best not to say anything than to lie.

If she is sincere, we're fucked even more than we knew.

[madamesilverspurs]

50. Her class vs his crass

[lame54]

52. she speaking in relative terms...

seeing that we almost got Gohmert Pyle

she is probably very relieved

now back to the plundering of the country already in progress

[rock]

53. Luckily (for them) politicians

are not bound by time, nor space, nor truth, nor logic, nor good sense, nor good taste ... Well you get the idea.

[davidsilver]

54. I thought it was a classy move from a very classy lady who I hope will be speaker again someday

[Logical]

65. Clueless and dishonest is more like it! nt

[LordGlenconner]

61. Can't believe people buy into this shit

It's just fake pleasantries between people who hate each other.

Couldn't be more obvious.

[Hutzpa]

62. Calm down people

what do you expect her to say? John is a douche bag.

[FourScore]

63. BREAKING NEWS: Nancy Pelosi is a politician!1!1!! n/t
