You don’t spit into the wind…
Heh heh! Looks like Nancy Pelosi is not having a good week, again. I wrote previously of the folly of attempting to distance herself from so-called torture by contradicting the folks at the CIA, in a piece I wittily entitled “You don’t tug on Superman’s cape,” hence the above title. Those guys keep records. They will even provide you with “plausible deniability” but only if you play ball. Something The Botoxed One seems to have forgotten.
After beatings from both Dick and Liz Cheney shredded her credibility, she looked to be on the ropes. Well here comes Karl Rove with an article in The WSJ which slices and dices her argument like OJ in an alleyway.
But when political winds shifted, Mrs. Pelosi seems to have decided to use enhanced interrogation as an issue to attack Republicans. It is disgraceful that Democrats who discovered their outrage years after the fact are now braying for disbarment of the government lawyers who justified EITs and the prosecution of Bush administration officials who authorized them. Mrs. Pelosi is hip-deep in dangerous waters, and they are rapidly rising.
A bad week is about to get worse. Nancy may very well be angry, but how would we tell?
Update from Michelle Malkin and from Hot Air,
And if the CIA really had lied to her in the briefings, why didn’t Pelosi start out with that explanation? In fact, why didn’t she mention that in 2005 when both the EITs and the briefings were made public? Coming four years later, this explanation lacks any kind of credibility.
And this final word,
 As Andy Levy says, “Nancy Pelosi’s lies are so transparent birds are slamming into them.â€
Heh!
