They are as incompetent and inept as Mrs. Clinton is. But they\u2019re not carrying the big sticks. The speaker, &#8216;To tell you the truth, I\u2019ve been really busy the last 24 hours. How can I say this with the dignity of the office that I hold, and especially the dignity of the office that the vice president holds? It\u2019s so beneath the dignity of his office &#8212; and mine &#8212; that I don\u2019t even want to address it. Of course, I have the responsibility at the end of the day. But I\u2019m very respectful of their read on the situation. Those people are &amp;hellip; our distinguished chairmen. I have enormous respect for their knowledge of the subject.\u2019 This was discussed yesterday on PMSNBC. Norah O\u2019Donnell spoke with their correspondent Mike Viqueira about Cheney\u2019s comments, suggesting that Democrats who rubber stamp Pelosi\u2019s agenda are lacking a spine. Here (laughter) it is. It\u2019s the chickification of everything. Here is the exchange, or a portion thereof.<\/p>\n<p>VIQUEIRA: He knows these guys. He knows what gets under their skin, intimating that Nancy Pelosi has somehow emasculated these two old bulls, as they call them around here.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019DONNELL: It\u2019s interesting that you use that word emasculated, that these men are following &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>VIQUEIRA: I meant it figuratively, Norah.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019DONNELL: Yeah, following a woman, Nancy Pelosi up there on the Hill, I mean, saying these Dems don\u2019t carry around big sticks anymore.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s so easy to get under their skin with the truth. The two old bulls, of course, would be Dingy Harry and Steny Hoyer? Hoyer and Murtha? We\u2019re talking about the House. Absolutely true. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &#8216;House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says a swipe that Vice President Cheney took at Democratic House leaders is &#8216;beneath the dignity of his office.\u2019 Capitol Hill was abuzz Thursday with discussion of the vice president\u2019s assertion in an interview with Politico that House Democratic leaders had been surprisingly supine: &#8216;They are not carrying the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
