As Stewie Says: “This is So Deliciously Evil…”
Hoyer Declines to Back Up Pelosi’s Claim That CIA Misled Congress
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer does not vouch for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s accusation against the CIA.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s deputy in the House declined to back her up on her stunning claim Thursday that the CIA misled Congress about its use of enhanced interrogation techniques.
Rep. Steny Hoyer, the House majority leader, panned the recent criticism of Pelosi as a “distraction” during a verbal tangle with Republican Whip Eric Cantor on the House floor.
But when asked directly whether he shares Pelosi’s belief that the CIA misled Congress, he backed off.
“I have no idea of that. I don’t have a belief of that nature because I have no basis on which to base such a belief,” Hoyer said. “And I certainly hope that’s not the case. And I don’t draw that conclusion.”

Nice.
Great little job you’ve got there, Madam Speaker…shame if anything were to happen to it…
Oh what a tangled web she’s weaved when claiming to have been deceived.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving gargoyle.
It appears that the vipers are fanging each other. Works for me; I understand that Hoyer is, at least, less irrational and easier to work with than Grandma Harpy McBotox is.
Besides, the schadenfreude of seeing Pelosi, The First Woman Speaker Of the House™, booted out of that position by her own party would be delicious.
Just thinking about it gives me a Chris Matthews style of leg thrill……
Nancy pushed Laughing Jack Murtha over Hoyer for Majority Leader. She lost the tussel, but Hoyer was not amused. It’s payback time.
Always be careful whose faces you step on while climbing the ladder.
The Obama Purges of the unfaithful Party members have begun.
Rahm Emanuele will make Dick Cheney look like a Sunday school teacher.
Hands down I would rather work for Dick Cheney than Rahm Emanuel. Cheney doesn’t throw people under the bus just because it is politically convenient.
Oh, Oh, OH!!! I really really REALLY feel that tingle in my leg……
