Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
- “I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made."
Gawker wonders if Pelosi went too far with her melodrama (umm, yes). This will backfire politically. Never let yourself look weak. Your opponents will use this clip to destroy you. Would love to see her thrown out of office in 2010. If Karma is listening, please end this woman's political career. Tired of her personal stylists, personal jets and personal bullshit.
