It took me five minutes to stop laughing after I saw a video of today's statement by Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader of the House. Pelosi came forward to speak about the continuing resolution voted on in the House today and about the budget for the remainder of 2011. She said that Congress should be mindful in passing the budget of the moral issues involved and not the money issues.
Take a moment and let that sink in. Pelosi wants Congress not to think about money when it determines how much money will be spent for the remainder of this year. It reminds me of her approach to Obamacare: she never bothered to consider the effect it would have on the quality of healthcare when she voted on a bill that took over the healthcare industry in the country. She could as easily have told Congress not consider winning in Afghanistan when it voted on the military appropriations bills. Maybe she wants Congress to avoid scientific proof when it votes on matters pertaining to global warming (actually, I think she does want that.)
After the first level of Pelosi's ridiculousness is pierced, you get to the truly absurd. Nancy Pelosi is now discussing morality. Let me say that again: NANCY PELOSI IS NOW DISCUSSING MORALITY!!!!!!! That's right up there with John Edwards or Bill Clinton discussing marital fidelity; John Boehner dicussing the need to remain unemotional; or President Obama on the need to stay engaged and to work hard. What a joke.
