The Hill
“From my perspective, we won last night,” said Pelosi (D-Calif.), referring to the New York special election for the House seat previously held by Republican Rep. John McHugh. “We had one race were engaged in.”

There were two Congressional races last night, no?

All right, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.

Yep, I bet the Blue Dogs can’t wait to vote on Nancycare.

Nancy:Who’s there?
BDD:Blue Dog Democrats.
Nancy:Oh sh!t.

and it was all due to the Rainbows and Gumdrops option in our Heath Care Bill.

Okay, so she has two things in common with Nancy Drew – the first name and the fact she needs to find a clue.

It’s not just a river, Nancy. Moron.
Torch on November 4, 2009 at 1:19 PM
Keep acting that way, Nancy. When a year from now, the returns blast you out of the Speaker position and your minority colleagues retaliate by moving your office into a cloakroom closet, you’ll have plenty of time to invite Baghdad Bob over for a fantasy runoff and a cup of tea.

This commenter sums it up to perfection
Let her play ostrich all she wants. Arrogance never pays.

I’d agree with her had Scozzafava won.

Watch Steny Hoyer closely over the next year, as he sets Nancy up for her big fall.
Christien on November 4, 2009 at 1:21 PM
Now Pelosi is not just lying to us she’s lying to herself. The big question here is does she believe herself?

Granny is gonna give up the gavel in 2010. That’s my slogan “Take the gavel from nancy!”

“We had one race were engaged in.” – You just gotta know when to hold’ em…
40X as many people voted in New Jersey and Virginia than in NY-23. – and when to fold ‘em.

My mind is blown….
Smiles on November 4, 2009 at 1:30 PM
I swear the more and more I read their spin – the more and more I’m happy that we lost NY-23.
They are going to totally ignore VA/NJ and be blindsided in 2010.
Now GOP – don’t screw it up!
gophergirl on November 4, 2009 at 1:30 PM
If the Republicans had nominated Hoffman he would have won. The number of people who simply looked for the “R” and voted for Scozzafava (unless they were all close friends trying to cheer her up) was more (last I saw numbers) than the margin of victory for Owens. But the bottom line is that Nancy “Crazy Eyes” Pelosi gets another vote. I’m sure Owens will feel comfortable going the full Maonty for Pelosi in a district which obviously supports centralized planning for every facet of their lives.
Beagle on November 4, 2009 at 1:31 PM
You keep using this word, “won”. I do not think it means what you think it means.
cjtony97 on November 4, 2009 at 1:31 PM
WTF is this woman on?

Right. Just imagine, if Dear Liar had campaigned for the Democratic candidates for governor in VA and NJ, they would have won those as well.
Oh, wait.
rbj on November 4, 2009 at 1:34 PM
If by winning you mean having another Blue Dog barking up your rear over the Public Option…
Then yes!

Yes, for the squirrels in her head that are juggling chainsaws.
tru2tx on November 4, 2009 at 1:38 PM
She is actually right. From her perspective, as speaker of the house, this was a win. They gained another democrat to add to their majority rule.
Keith_Indy on November 4, 2009 at 1:40 PM
Obviously the mental side-effects of botox injections are not clearly understood.
gwelf on November 4, 2009 at 1:41 PM

D2Boston on November 4, 2009 at 1:42 PM
Thanks for explaining that. We totally didn’t get it, you “indy”, you.
LibTired on November 4, 2009 at 1:42 PM
I hope you win again, then.

Now, that’s what I would call real torture for patriotic Americans!

Pelosi: “Ha, ha, ha, ha, …. Via our union cronies we’ve succeeded in electing the one liberal Republican to now be able to call everything we do in the House, bipartisan …. wait, … huh? D’oh!”
Dusty on November 4, 2009 at 1:46 PM
She’s drinking Botox.
JammieWearingFool on November 4, 2009 at 1:53 PM
It’s only a vote added to their majority rule if Owens votes with the majority. The guaranteed vote dropped out and a blue dog won.
Dusty on November 4, 2009 at 1:54 PM
How does one mock a walking joke?
Chubbs65 on November 4, 2009 at 1:55 PM
If that is winning, may you win like that more often!
Sarjex on November 4, 2009 at 1:56 PM
Is there a more pathetic woman on earth? And we’re stuck with her if Pres and VP should meet their maker?

hahahahahahahaha
karlant on November 4, 2009 at 2:03 PM
well she does have a point. From the house races the Dems did “win” last night. the rest of the nation that voted sent one big wake up call to the blue dogs but NY23 voted to continue the Pelosi Congress

I want some gold. Here is some thread so start spinning

Same strategy they’re employing in Afghanistan: Declare victory and go home.

Was the Tales from the Crypt pageant last night? I totally missed it! Anyway, congrats Nanc!
Gymkata on November 4, 2009 at 2:38 PM
C’mon, this isn’t surprising in the slightest.
This is the “The most ethical Congress in history” and “If we increase our majority, the house will be more bipartisan” Nancy Pelosi speaking, after all.
And she likes “disruptors” too, except when they disrupt her.
JeffWeimer on November 4, 2009 at 2:46 PM
She’s delusional.
CynicalOptimist on November 4, 2009 at 2:56 PM
Keep f*cking that chicken!
WisCon on November 4, 2009 at 3:01 PM
Pelosi needs a script for Aricept pronto! She is in the first throes of dementia!
Hell, she has been saying stupid sh*t for several yrs. now, so she is probably actually in the middle stage. Idiot!
JAM on November 4, 2009 at 3:17 PM
Further proof that Botox kills brain cells.
SuperCool on November 4, 2009 at 3:24 PM

They keep “winning” like this, they’ll be out of power in no time!
God, that woman is just horrible in every way.
RedNewEnglander on November 4, 2009 at 3:27 PM
This woman is seriously ready for the government-run nursing home. She has lost all of her marbles.

Ahmadinejad: “…the most free election anywhere in the world.”
