8 year of her calling Bush stupid and incompetent, seems to me that after watching this video, the pot was calling the kettle black…

Dump the chump!

#32, Nimby,

A more important thing is to remember, Pelosi was the Chair of the Intelligence Committee. Don’t you think she should have bothered to go to the damned meeting?

Wrong. She was the “Ranking Member”. That means she she was the #1 Minority Member on the committee. It might sound good but actually carries very little weight. Shortly after this she was voted the Minority Leader and thus left her Intelligence Committee posting.

From 1994 until 2006 the Republicans held the majority in the House. All committee Chairmen were Republican. The Chairmen hold all the power including what is tabled, discussed, when meetings are held, and which witnesses are called. All Parliamentary rulings are his and his alone to make.

Fusion, you of course are right that Rove wasn’t in the room, but look again at the context of my link. I thought it was obvious, but I guess not.

“The battle lines are being drawn”.

This means that now that Rove is in the mix, we can see where the Repubs are headed.

And making their stand. Nancy will have to answer Roves assertions that either:

A) Pelosi knew about Waterboarding and approved, or
B) Pelosi was entirely incompetent in her job.

Rove, and by extension the Repubs, are not stating that they know the answer, but they intend to find out.

Either way, Pelosi looses.

I’m an independent who is certainly closer to the Democrats on most issues, and I’m starting to wonder regardless of the actual truth of this matter…. would that party and this President ultimately be better served with a new Speaker?

Right or wrong, she doesn’t seem to be the right person given the President’s style.
