Republicans whine about Pelosi talking about accomplishments

In the ongoing quest to deny Democrats legitimacy, a bunch of whining, sniveling House Republicans are angry about Nancy Pelosi's speech on the opening day of the new Congress. Apparently, Pelosi had the temerity to offend the sensitive ears of Republican House members by....touting Democratic accomplishments in the last Congress.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) said that Pelosi's speech, “trying to convince her own caucus of what great things they had done. Had it been me, I would have given a shorter speech." No, what Ros- Lehtinen probably would not have touted her most recent accomplishment - killing a bill to stop children from being forced into marriage.

Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) griped that Pelosi's speech "crystallized" why voters opposed Democrats in the recent elections. Yes, this is the same Tom Price who claimed that forcing BP to pay for its share of the cleanup of the Gulf caused by its oil spill a "shakedown."

Rep. Billy Long, a freshman from Missouri. thought the speech ungracious, saying, "I think it’s rather apparent. I’d have handled it differently." Well, Billy Long would handle a lot of things differently - like electing Senators. Long supports repealing the 17th amendment to the Constitution which provides for direct election of Senators.

So to these fine Republicans whining because Nancy Pelosi decided to speak about how she helped make lives better for Americans, I say, with my best Jersey accent, from the bottom of my heart...

Fuck You!
