Backing Nancy Pelosi into a corner

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi can’t believe that no one believes her when she claims she was not briefed on interrogation techniques in 2002 when documentation seems to show otherwise.

A report in the Weekly Standard titled, Pelosi's Quagmire says that Republicans in the House are keeping up the pressure on Pelosi (upper photo) by pushing for answers about what she knew and when she knew it.

Pelosi has found relatively few allies among her fellow Democrats.

Pressed by reporters, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., allowed that “what was said and when it was said, who said it” should be part of a congressional inquiry.

Republicans are accusing Pelosi of hypocrisy and intellectually honest Democrats are accusing her of complicity.

Does this mean Pelosi’s house of cards will tumble?


The media is beginning to turn on Pelosi. Steny Hoyer also appears to be doing the same. As much power as Pelosi wields in the House, Hoyer wouldn’t dare challenge her unless he was backed by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (pictured above thumbing his nose just before the inauguration in January).
