As a Democrat I say investigate ALL of them. If Pelosi lied then she should be held accountable. BUT, I do find it ironic that the same people who are screaming for Pelosi's head aren't screaming for Cheney's, Bush's, Rumsfeld, Rove and all the rest. Let us assume that Pelosi is lying. What's worse, lying or approving torture? I'd saying approving torture. The GOP is using Pelosi as distraction for the fact that they lied and tortured people.

YAWN!!! They're grasping at straws. Can we move on please?!!! Who cares. Get to real issues like healthcare reform.

Well at least he found something that he might be good at. Someone is bored.

Again, the media, including CNN, is giving the GOP all the coverage they need to go after Pelosi so they can have a story; yet, CNN and other news organizations are hesitant to keep the Bush Administration's feet to the fire on the torture issue. It's all about selling Time Magazine and get conservatives to watch CNN. Afterall, they have to compete with FIX NEWS

I second your comment. John King every Sunday seems to interview a lot of Republicans and never asked them do they feel knowing about torture is worst then actually doing the torture?

Huckabee is clearly not presidential material. And the pathetic Republicans are clearly trying to deflect blame from Cheney's crimes by focusing on Pelosi, which is because they are complicit in Cheney's crimes.

And he is a preacher? If I was a Baptist I would be ashamed of him.

...and yes, Jason, it is worse to know about the torture and claim ignorance, than to perform the actual torture (on all of three people...and it saves thousands of lives).

Or maybe Nancy isn't claiming ignorance. Perhaps, she actually is ignorant.

Can someone anyone whether Rep or Dem, Lib or Consv explain to me why on God's green earth I or anyone should care who was in this briefing or who was briefed.

The CIA wasn't giving a briefing asking for persmission they were briefing to say look this is either a. what we are thinking of doing or b. what we are doing to prisoners.

So I don't care if Pelosi and the others that were in the briefing were given pictures of them waterboarding prisoners in the briefing.

The CIA are the ones who commited the illegal, immoral action.

Pelosi is 3rd in line for the Presidency. Very scary.

I thought Huckabee claimed to be a good christian fellow. It doesn't look like he pays much attention to the Bible. I believe there is a passage that says something like "judge not lest ye be judged". I guess Huckabee forgot that part.

There is no hypocrite like a religious zealot.

I feel a haiku coming on here....

Nancy Pelosi
You were there and you know it
Stop the senseless lies

Silly Democrats
You're days in charge are limited
Five hundred thirty five

Ok, that last one had six syllables, but it's my haiku. Call it artistic freedom.

Cheney and Bush lied to us way worse than this manufactured scandal.

Sean Hannity's radio introduction song includes the lyrics "Make the guily pay" Any of you Hannity supporters out there think we should prosecute Bush, Cheney et al. for torture crimes? Torture is illegal. If they are guilty, they should pay. Or do they get a pass because you voted for them?

My guess is none of the partisan neocons will touch that issue. They want to fry Pelosi and are so consummed with hating her that they want to change the subject to Pelosi and make the real issue irrelevant.

The party that says no to the stimulus package and yes to torture is wrong. They can't change the subject and make Nancy Pelosi the target. They're the ones who tortured, not the Dems.

This is all part of the GOP's concerted (and desperate) effort to sidetrack the public from the very real issue that George Bush and Dick Cheney should have been impeached and should be prosecuted for war crimes.

the republicans are "acting" like it's worse to know something about the torture then being the actual criminals performing these horrible actions against detainees.

I enjoyed Mike Huckabee on The Colbert Report, but since then, he's just come across as weird!

- Making jokes about Obama being assassinated during the Presidential campaign;

- Not believing in evolution;

- Now a poem about a very serious subject (torture and whether one of our national leaders – third in line to the Presidency – or the CIA has lied about it).

Weird, just weird ....

Forget Pelosi…..

Why aren't we questioning Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Rove, and the CIA about their torture program and their LIES about it?

-I second and third this assessment. The Dems are doing an AWFUL job of keeping on message, so easily distracted by those who got the world into the current mess. Haven't we learned anything?

And again... instead of either doing the Christian thing and trying to be more Christ-like by just apologizing for torture, or answering the very prescient question of who, exactly, Jesus would think it's ok to torture... Mr. Huckabee instead goes off insisting that Pelosi was at meetings that we now know did not occur. Name-calling instead of problem-solving... that's what the Republicans are offering, and why nobody is listening to them any more.

Again, the media, including CNN, is giving the GOP all the coverage they need to go after Pelosi so they can have a story; yet, CNN and other news organizations are hesitant to keep the Bush Administration's feet to the fire on the torture issue. It's all about selling Time Magazine and get conservatives to watch CNN. Afterall, they have to compete with FIX NEWS!

This poem is beyond the pale
And I hope this distraction will fail
The GOP’s fancy
‘S to vilify Nancy
When they should send Bush leaders to Jail.

I have a poem about the GOP leadership on this one as well but I think it will be too long "waiting for moderation".

Ha Ha these Republicans think their Being Funny but you Know whats Funny the Republican Party is in Shambles going down in flames and Pretty much is going to end up a Regional party know thats funny!

The republican are like a bunch of hyenas waiting for a carcass. There were many more issues that could have been raised during the last dictatorship over the past 8 years as far as lies, inuendo, and outright leading the American people through disengenuous statements that were aimed at scaring Americans into not questioning the validity or what the administration was doing illegally, and the perjury that was commited. This is a fact folks. We were there, and were listening to the lies being spewed on a daily basis. So before we write poems and have Pelosi strung up, let's all take a step back and look where the lies started.

More proof that the republican party's 'cheese done slid off its cracker'.

With apologies to Tom Hanks and the crew of the Green Mile.

It is so like the Repbulicans to keep the forcus on Nancy when it was their party that committed the real crimes of torture not Nancy. Keep this up and all you Repubicans will be on trial for all your lies and sending American men and women into a war on lies. Lying to the American people and sending our troops to fight a war on lies is worse then Nancy lying on the CIA which I find it hard to believe any thing for the CIA have to say after 8 years of their lies.

Wow, the hatred is really pouring forth from the left wing, as usual. I think we need to keep Pelosi around as Speaker..... she can only do the Republicans good. She knew about the so called "torture", plain and simple.... and did NOTHING to stop it. Not a word. She just continued her ultimate quest to undermine the entire Bush administration for eight years. The true "party of NO". She now is reaping what she sowed.

By the way...why is this so bad, liberals, while Obama's "person of color" comment toward Boehner is OK?????? I just cannot understand the continuous blatant hypocrisy espoused by the left.

Someone has entirely too much free time.

Our tax dollars at work....

Republican lies
False connections in Iraq
Led to war and death

Justify torture
Crimes against humanity
Weakens our nation

Lets see if Nancy has another Stellar week.

All you people defending her have set the bar so low, it will take a long time to get our moral compass back. Cmon, lying to the congress and the American people is excusable now? And the scary part is she is 3rd in line of the order of succession. Even the President has the brains not to "touch" this one.

I hope he doesn't quit his day job, he'll never make it as a poet. Come to think of it, he's never made it as a politician either.

That's really mature.

Huckabee is not EVEN a joke now. The sound of crickets in the GOP camp is overwhelming.

How about a poem speaking to Chaney's and Bush's authorizing torture? This is a much bigger issue.

Pelosi was for it until she was against it. GWB as stupid as he was, apperently outsmarted Nancy.

Looks like as much talent and professionalism was put into that as was put into his comedy show on Fox.

Amazing that Republicans don't care if a Republican administration used torture, but they do care if a Democrat lied about knowing the extent of the torture program.

To Republicans, lying is worse then torture.

These Republicans repeat the same old talking points over & over desperately hoping it will stick. Nonsense.

Again, the plane was ordered by the House sergeant-at-arms, not Pelosi. It's the same plane Republican Hastert used as Speaker.

Also, the more Republicans divert their feigned cries at Pelosi over interrogation; the more they admit their GOP torture policy was wrong! Not to mention, Sen. Bob Graham's meticulous note-keeping backs up Pelosi's position, and she is the one calling for the truth commission in the first place.

Give me a break, Huckabee.

"It's Pelosi's Fault, nothing to see here people, move along."

What a bunch of bean heads the repugs are. I just love watching the circular firing squad this party has become. Every time Boss Limbaugh or one of the talking heads of the Repugs opens their mouths another person quits voting for them.

Keep on yapping Republican leaders the world needs your input…..

why do you keep this guy in the news??? HH: no not hubert humphrey, it is hillbilly huck.

Why can't these Rethugs learn to shut their traps?

"If this was a republican (remember Trent Lott and his offense) he would have been forced to resign. That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats. When a Republican is caught dirty or even dingy, they resign"

Just like Ted Stevens, George Ryan, Tom DeLay...

Look up USC Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 113C.

I love you, Huck, but you're no Longfellow.

This is just the kind of mature and reasoned political discourse America needs right now -

Oh wait, no it isn't

I didn't know Huckabee was still in the eigth grade; good thing he's not in charge of anything

Pelosi lied. Probably about many, many things. She is a dangerous, obnoxious and power hungry woman who is just steps away from the Oval Office. She needs to be voted out and sent back to bankrupt California.

No one is asking for an apology from Bush and Cheney about the lies they told that got America into the Iraq War. No "wrong" winger demanded their jobs nor did CNN.

Until that happens they should all shut up!

@Missippi Mike

I assume you are including Bush&Cheney in your post? Unfortunately for you and your fellow bloggers on the right, it goes both ways. Pelosi goes down and Bush&Cheney go down with her.

If he can write something so juvenile about the speaker, than he should be able to write a poem weekly about his ignorant republician party. Why did he run for president anyway? He appears to be a very weak person.

Oh come on... a poem??? This is like Ashcroft singing about eagles, like a big moron.

Your poem sucks! stick to ya day job!

Give me a break.........when you fail with the GOP...you go to Fox News and become a bully.

Huckabee is just about useless and clueless.

Just go out back and play your guitar!!!!!!!

CNN will be blithering on about this all day long because it is EASIER than actually investigating the torture and lies the Bush Administration and the media's complicity in the invasion of the Iraq war.

Intersting the King did not ask Boehner about the actual TORTURE that was done and his stance on it and that no one has asked Cheney specifically about when the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of lives that were saved by torture.

And the reason the 'liberal media" and CNN doesn't cover the real story which is actually torture is because ???

Then they will be held just as accountable and complicit in not asking questions back when it was initiated and they were all so busy compliantly marching us to war in IRAQ with the Bushies.

Hey Shmuckabee,

Riddle me this. How many more seats will Republicans lose with these jr. high games?

I personally don't care much for Pelosi. But this is the guy that wanted to be president. He writes poems attacking people? Wow, what a dirt bag!

Obama is regressing to his IL legislative days and voting "present" This is what he will do the next tome a terrorist flies a plane into a US building or sneaks in a dirty bomb.

Cmon Obama, stand up and say something. Coward

This is real simple folks.

1. If the CIA lied to Congress, it is criminal. Pelosi needs to bring forth her evidence to corroborate and we should prosecute all of these people in the CIA, and we cannot have the intelligence community lying to Congress. It is dangerous, and it is unlawful

2. If Pelosi is lying, she needs to step down and apologize, and then she needs to be prosecuted for lying.

One or the other folks. There is no middle ground here.

Pelosi's problem is she's a typical phony elitist socialite. She tries to act like she's tied to a constant high road, when in fact she's still a politician, and agrees that in some situations you have to do things. The fact that she won't come forth and take some of the downfall with the Bush administration for harsh interrogations is a violation of Obama's pledge for transparency and accountability. The Obama administration will soon have no choice but to make Pelosi a sacrificial lamb, the same way that the Bush admin had to do to Rumsfeld, which ironically was Pelosi's championed project.

How shrewd of the Republicans...Newt feels if Pelosi lied she can no longer be our Speaker. However, we had an administration of a President and Vice President that tortured but that is okay? Where is the logic? We tortured and started a war that never needed to be started. They conned the American people. Where were the Republicans then?

I am a life long Democrate, but I agree with those who want Pelosi out if she lied. I am so tired of the lies and hate coming from Washington. Our politians from all sides spend to much time bashing each other. If she lied she should be gone. Like Obama I do not want to look back the work needed is to important for that distraction. However, this will not go away until it is resolved. Let's get it all out there and know everything. If we do that I would imagin you won't find to many politians ready to continue the bashing. They all know what happened and many, I am sure, have broken laws. I am poisitve that Cheney will return to his "undisclosed" location.

Only Republicans could make their politics of torture Pelosi's fault. Amazing.

Shut up loser

Mike, don't quit your day job.

Appreciate the poetry. If this was a republican (remember Trent Lott and his offense) he would have been forced to resign. That's the difference between Republicans and Democrats. When a Republican is caught dirty or even dingy, they resign, Democrats blame it on somebody, say they are being persecuted because (sex, race, religion, etc.) and stay in office. Eg. Nancy Pelosi, William Jefferson, Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Teddy Kennedy and the list goes on.

The American people have a right to know who is the liar,the House Speaker or the CIA,we can not tolerate either one of the lying the truth needs to be known.

I cannot see that the world is any better because Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House. Democrats need to find another Speaker.

The republicans are trying to shift the discussion. So far they're doing a good job of it. But it ultimately comes down to who authorized the torture and all the fingers point towards Cheney. Huckabee may want to keep his comments to himself until all the facts come out because if what the Speaker is saying is true, all of the right wing Pelosi bashers are going to be really embarresed.

well...................this is sure to make her frown.................well....you know, ...if she could

Huckabee needs to go away, go away for good in his dark hole cave. Where he hides his tail, away on that Right Wing News Network. Called Fox News, the so call fair and balance news network, thats only fair and balance for Republicans.

OH NO – A POEM!

How quaint (and juvenile)!

How does Mike Huckabee (the "Christian" preacher) stand on the issue of his party's leaders authorizing and committing the torturing of other human beings?

Hey Mike, Jesus was tortured!

Where's the poem about Bush and Cheney who ordered the torture? This is exactly why Republicans are the laughing stock of this great country. We see the hypocrisy. So don't blame the people who are responsible for the wrong act. Just try and deflect attention away from those responsible. We, the American people, are a lot smarter than that, Huckabee.

I'm no fan of Nancy Pelosi, but this is totally juvenile. Thank God this imbecile didn't get anywhere close to the Republican nomination or the presidency.

As I recall Jesus had something to say about those who call other people names. I guess that we can call Huckaby all sort sof things based on the facts about his military service. We can also discuss the fact he never completed seminary.

And why shouldn't we question the CIA? They admitted giving out bad info on Bob Graham's briefings - it was physically impossible they were right and remember the "slam dunk" WMD?

I would say he should keep his day job but he doesn't have one.

Huckabee rocks! and his bass playing isn't bad either.

Awesome.

Solid cause, weak poem. Stick to your day job Huck.

Huckabee is better at writing poems than he is a politician. I think he found his true niche!

Gads, the ObstructiPubs have nothing else to talk about.

They don't help our country solve any of its problems. Total silence there.

But they rant on and on about B.S. just to stay in the news.

I am embarrassed for them.

Wow. So this guy's "plans" as a potential U.S. President would be to write poems and question the need for Freedom of the Press? Wow. What a patriotic guy. He may be the most cuddly conservative, but this far right winger is a loon.

THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE !!

A woman with the influence of a House Speaker, trying to push hereself in the foreground by any means as the
CIA affaire and earlier, the plainly moronic AIG bonus
solution, are a clear and present danger.

Lying, even if totally transparent, comes easy to her, and she doesn't care about the damage inflicted to the US and OBAMA by her hate campaign.

OBAMA would be well advised to let know the DEM Party gurus that she and some other dirtthrowers must go if they expect him to be successful, if not, even if with the GOP disarray and her right wing mirror image
RUSH, the GOP and if not a 3rd party will win in 2012!

As the LABOR erased the traditional Liberal Party in the UK, after WW1 !!!!!

Huckabee is funny, but his sarcastic humor is not what we need in a President. He lost my respect when he joked about Obama jumping from a gunshot noise (saying he fell out of his chair when there was a loud noise) at an NRA gathering. Obama wasn't even there, of course.

We don't need another right-wing ideologue who thinks he's better than everybody else!

Stoking the fires.....hmmm
The point is..she holds super power in America and is accountable to what she says to the public....the public demands it to be truthful.
I try to view what she said in the light of enabling...she may not had intent of doing wrong...but in learning..she just 'held' the information and thus in doing nothing she enabled the process to go forward. Some say, she was in no position to do anything..i don't buy that...therre are many a good reporters who would have jumped on that story in support of opposing it....all she needed to do was call them. Isn't that what she does when she wants us to know something? We just want the truth.

Obviously,
There is a difference between being told, "we are using these enhanced interrogation techniques", and, "we may consider using these enhanced interrogation techniques". Nancy Pelosi isn't guilty unless CIA documents state they "ARE" using that technique. If so, Nancy still isn't guilty of waterboarding being her policy. She's only guilty of not initiating Impeachment proceedings for President Bush's abuse of power. The same President Bush Huckabee voted for. So, Mr. Huckabee could "poke" fun at Nancy Pelosi all he wants. Only he should remember, Nancy is only guilty of not impeaching President Bush, who Mr. Huckabee himself voted for....along with his policies.......... another typical Refiblican hypocrite.

All of the losers are fighting to stay in the spotlight. If writing poetry qualifies one as either a preacher or politician, then I should change my profession since I have written poetry all of my life. Maybe he and Palin should go back to school because his poetry isn't any better than his political candidacy attempts and Palin cannot complete a proper sentence any better than George Bush. He can't preach and Palin doesn't follow what she preaches.

Another repuk who can never keep his mouth shut..just like Boner.

Mr. Huckabee, you are supposed to be an EX Preist, therefore, shame on you to Lie, you are a man of the cloth, whatever Nancy Pelosi is she never called the CIA Liars, you GOP people the Conservitive bunch God fearing people all you know how to do is promote hate and lie, what a bunch of hypocrites, you should be ashamed of yourself Mr. Huckabee, then again if you knew all this would you be working for FOX news!!!!!!

Is what Pelosi knew and when she knew it REALLY more important than the fact the this country was TORTURING? Seriously?

Huckabee seems more outraged by those who may have knew about torture, but remained silent, than he is about those who ordered and approved the torture. There should be an investigation, and all those Democrats and Republicans who knew, but remained silent , should be punished if a law was broken. Those who ordered torture should receive even harsher punishment under the law. This is an issue of law. It should not be about political parties. Let the chips fall where they fall. No man or woman is above the law. If we bypass the torture issue, then we can no longer claim to be a nation of laws. How can we send enlisted soldiers to prison for torture, and then let the people at the top go free???????? The United States Government has become a Government of the rich and powerful, for the rich and powerful, and by the rich and powerful.

SLAM DUNK, WMD, Treated like liberate, Yellow Cake and the CIA dosen't lies. It's funny how no GOP's talking about how they knew the CIA was informing them that they were waterboarding. This not about Pelosi it's about the War in Iraq was it justify are was we lie too.

Someone get the clowns back to the circus. Pelosi and Huckabee have escaped.

He sat thru his schooling and knew about evolution; But claims he doesn't care, that the bible's the solution.

He disparages scientists and says they're a bunch of liars; But the majority of us aren't buying it, cuz the GOP's a bunch of criers.

Religiot.

Im so tired of these Republicans trying to make a fool out of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi may have known the truth about interrogation techniques, I do believe that because all these washington political cronnies work together. For them to come down on Nancy Pelosi is wrong, there is nothing that she could have done to stop them from practicing these techniques. How many times has the Bush administration went above the heads of many including the House and Senate and did what they wanted? She could not have done anything to stop them, so instead of trying to bring down House Speaker Pelosi maybe they need to blame the Bush administration for all there wrong doings for 8yrs, remember we are in the mess we're in because of George W. Bush & Dick Cheney.

If you have a problem with Pelosi, Mr. Huckabee, over her alleged lying – then you shouldn't have a problem putting George Bush and Dick Cheney on trial for war crimes. Even in your twisted version of Christian values, torture should rank above lying.

Huckabee...Didn't this guy fail at his run for the presidency? That means that the country did not care for him or his ideas. Why is he so important all of a sudden? Makes you wonder. Pelosi is no angel. What is the reality is that regardless if she knew about the Bush torture plans it was still a Bush policy to torture people. The perpetrator and implementers were Bush-Cheney. Now the irrelevant party of No is trying to make Pelosi directly responsible for the torture that the Bush administration did. What a farce. Hypocrites! You are all becoming more irrelevant by the day.Please go join the way of the Whig Party.

Huckabee resorts to doggerel because
He belongs to the party of what once was
And fresh ideas are hard to find
When you’re best days are far behind
Picking on others is all you can do
When you’re party can’t offer anything new
Pelosi’s a target that’s hard to miss
And there’s plenty of others republicans diss
But it’s still too bad that’s all they have to show
But it’s the best you can expect from the party of No

Huckabee needs to grow up. I can't believe anyone wanted to vote for this immature, petty, and quite frankly, looney man.

Not bad. I like it better than his joke about Obama getting shot that he told during the election.

Awesome. Pelosi is such a liar and a cheat (look into her husband's dealings). She is what is wrong with the world.

Well, isn't that very "Christian" of him?

Rep. Boehner demand proof that Pelosi was misled? How about if Boehner proves that she wasn't?

CIA records admits they're may not be reliability of those records. Bob Graham has already proven that the CIA's records, claiming he was briefed, were completely false.

Now, Huckabee gets catty about something he knows absolutely nothing about. There are important problems facing our nation today and these jokers are playing games!?

So, who owes an apology here?

Pelosi is a liar. It's been obvious to most of us for a long time but now their is irrefutable evidence that she lied and is trying to cover it up. She's an embarassment. Her charisma and position of high power doesn't exempt her from the truth, no matter how hard she tries to belive otherwise.

That is just so cute that you had the time and where with all to do that? Did you also tweet it on your Twitter?

I seriously hope a staffer wrote this and not him. I don't like Pelosi right now any more than the next guy, but writing poems about her nose isn't going to change our country. Where is the true leadership??

Big Whoop! Bush lies to America when he invaded Iraq, he didn't tell the truth either, the GOP has short term memories but not us Americans, we rememeber the lies Bush/cheney and the GOP told to us.

did you ask what jesus would do lately?

I could do this all day,
but...hmmm...what the hey.
Since they both uninspire
They should both just retire.

and this guy tried to become our President... (yes I know I started a sentence without a Capital letter... it did not deserve one).. I wish the GOP would use its energy in coming up with constructive ideas to get us out of this mess.....

who really cares what the loser has to say. Get a life (...and I better TV show while ya' at it

The party that says no to the stimulus package and yes to torture is wrong. They can't change the subject and make Nancy Pelosi the target. They're the ones who tortured, not the Dems.

Take your meds and get over yourselves GOPers, you're history.

It has been apparent for quite some time that Nancy Pelosi is baggage that congress can't really afford to carrry. Now that she has blatently accused our CIA of lying to her, she really needs to be held accountable for her actions. Ms Pelosi has gone beyond the maximum exposure our country can afford and needs to be muzzled.

Pelosi is a joke...she NEVER gives a straight answer in an interview. It's comical.

She did not answer the retort from the CIA...she said "she was disappointed in the Bush administration." THAT IS NOT AN ANSWER.

If you are keeping score, the GOP has loads of dead-weight, including their last president and vice president, however Pelosi is one big fat joke on our side....we (Dems) need to toss this woman. The GOP is right on this issue: she is a liar.

I am not a fan of the House Speaker but the GOP comments are a lot like calling the kettle black! They have no room for the holier than thou act ESPECIALLY Newt Gingrich!
The comments from the GOP are to deflect the actions of the Bush administration, especially Dick Cheney. I say go after them all!

Is that really all he can do. This, Mike Huckabee, is embarassing, not only to you but to the entire debate. And anyway the idea that the CIA never lies to the congress is laughable

Huckabee's prose
Gives offense the nose
Likewise Nancy Pelosi
Ain't anything poesy.

Merriam -Webster: Poesy = poetic inspiration

Huchabee is dangerous and the Repukes will probably have him on the ticket in 2012. If he or any Repuke wins then I'm leaving the country.

I have to admit that poem was real cute. But, I have a questions and comments. as usual
Why are the repubs concentrating on Pelosi? Is torture okay with the repubs? Allow me to inform you. If Pelosi lied, she goes down. No cover up. No defending her. She gets thrown to the wolves. I, as a citizen of The United States of America, don't care who was involved, as long as they are brought to justice!
What do you hope to gain with Pelosi's guilt? Do you think that the Democrats are going to stop this pursuit of justice? Do you think that people will simply forget about this issue and we can quietly sweep this under the rug to never be heard from again?
DO YOU THINK WE ARE GOING TO LET THIS GO BECAUSE PELOSI WAS COMPLICIT?
Think again

That is about all he is good for is writing poems. Ask Bob Grahm, he was in the meeting also.

Once again proving his resemblance to Gomer Pyle is not just physical. My 6 yr old can do better. And also thanks for admitting Bush/Chenet are criminals. Anybody else notice every Republican now basically admits this?

This is all the GOP has left? Immature to the extreme . . .

That is the exact type of grade school level poetic structure you would expect from a typical GOP member... Although I suppose it's slightly advanced since he didn't invoke "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue" as i'm sure many of his fellow party members inevitably will.

huckabee go away
you are now worse than sarah pailin
how about you do something constructive.

So when will he actually write one about the people who actually authorized it. When will the GOP criticize their own.

When are you right-wingers going to jail for actually COMMITTING the torture? Huckabee is only a poet in his own sick mind. Love to waterboard the roach.

Does this goof think this is his ticket to the White House in 2012??? He obviously has way too much time on his hands! How pathetic!!

Okay, I'm sorry, but this Pelosi saga is NOT boding well for the home team. 'Fess up already if you're lying Pelosi, and stop the knuckle-dragging routine. Good grief!!

Well, she is really gross.

Forget Pelosi.....

Why aren't we questioning Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Rove, and the CIA about their torture program and their LIES about it?

How adult and professional of him.
