GOP: Put Nancy Pelosi “In Her Place”
Believing that we’re in the 19th Century, Ken Spain of the National Republican Campaign Committee said General Stanley McChrystal should put House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “in her place” for having the temerity to weigh in on Afghanistan. Pelosi told Charlie Rose that McChrystal’s advice to the president should “go up the chain of command,” and not be out there for public debate.
Mocking the first female speaker as “General Pelosi,” [Spain] wrote, “If Nancy Pelosi’s failed economic policies are any indicator of the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope McChrystal is able to put her in her place.”
Spain added that Pelosi was “playing out of her league,” prompting a strong response from Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.
“I think the place for a woman is at the top of the House of Representatives,” said Wasserman Schultz.
“It’s evidence they long for the days when a woman’s place was in the kitchen. Now a woman is third in line for the presidency… But it’s not surprising, coming from a party that’s 80 percent male and 100 percent white,” she added, referring to the composition of the House GOP conference.
Maybe Grayson has inspired her to stand up to these … venomous vipers.

Nancy Pelosi goes in for a face-lift, and the doctor says, “We’ve got this new method: I put a knob in the back of your head, and every time you feel like you need a lift, just turn it.”
She gets the knob implanted and is beautiful for five years.
But one day she notices a problem and returns to the doctor. “I’ve got these huge bags under my eyes,” she complains.
The surgeon replies, “Those aren’t bags; those are your breasts.” “Ah,” she sighs, “that explains the goatee.”

Republicans have proven over and over that they are no friend of women’s right (see Phyllis Schlafly) or gay rights or even civil rights.

For those who missed it, and I hope you did, Glenn Beck criticized Pelosi for crying. I couldn’t tell if he had a tear in his eye while he did so, cause it was on the radio.

I suggest you refrain from listening to Glen Beck. He’s obviously mentally unstable.

I don’t know why I’m surprised at all of the bandwagon left-wingers who jump at every opportunity to push racism or sexism at the drop of a hat. There is NOTHING in Spain’s comments that would lead an educated and level-headed person to infer sexism was involved. Instead, an educated person would infer that Spain implied Pelosi doesn’t need to stick her nose into a military matter in which she has ZERO influence.
