New York Mag Mocks Pelosi Claims: ‘Denial Is Just a River in Egypt to Nancy Pelosi’

Nancy Pelosi is convinced that Republicans will not make significant gains come November. Or to put it in positive form: Democrats will hold on to a House majority.

In fact, so convinced is she of sweeping Democratic victories that on Wednesday she told PBS’s Charlie Rose, “I believe that it would be very difficult for the Republicans to take over the House. Let me tell you right here and now that I would rather be in our position right now than theirs.”

Rose was almost speechless: “Why do you believe that when the numbers look — I mean, 95 House races are in play, they say.”

Pelosi’s response? “Well, who are ‘they?’”

The exchange was so shocking that the liberal New York Magazine couldn’t even keep quiet. On Thursday, the magazine’s website posted the above quote with a simple headline: “Denial Is Just a River in Egypt to Nancy Pelosi.”

    Whenever I watch or hear Nancy Pelosi, I’m always struck with the same thought. With her ability to bald-face lie and smile through it all, how in the world does she keep getting elected?

    My take on this is she was elected by voters who have an inherent belief that people tell the truth and lead truthful lives. With Nancy, that belief is totally false. When will the voters in her constituency wake up to the truth?

    Oh yea, her constituency is San Francisco, CA, that would explain it!

      My question to her would be “knowing you lie to the American people on a daily basis, how do you sleep at night?” And I mean how does she sleep at night due to her total lack of conscience, not because she can’t close her eyes due to the Botox.

    I think it‘s quite funny to watch Nancy get caught up in the reality of what is to come on November 2 and then go on national tv and try to convince others it isn’t happening. Just priceless!

    Wow, this reminds me so much of the reporting done while the invasion of Iraq was in full swing. The government kept claiming that Iraq’s military was pushing back the Amereican military. Yet during the speeches, you could hear the explosions in the back ground.

    I guess if you tell yourself something over and over, you are bound to believe it. It may not be true, but you can continue to tell yourself the same thing over and over, and it will eventually will be come fact in your brain. Well Nancy, you’ve disgraced America for the last time, and to the voters in California, stand up for yourselves, do you really want this woman representing you?

    Guess she used too much weed and LSD in the 60′s. It has finally caught up with her brain cells (or lack thereof). They need to Baker Act both Pelosi and Reid because I really think they are losing it. To boot, she thinks she is going to be House Speaker for a third time? Come’on, Nancy, even the Dems want to get rid of you. Keep up the idle chatter, Nancy, it will just reenforce what most of us know: Dems are going to lose seats and the more blathering you do, the more you will convince “un-decideds” you’re not capable of running this great country.

    I simply had to stop watching this video. This airhead who calls herself the Speaker of the House is a disgrace. First of all she is stupid. She does not seem to articulare well at all and if anybody puts the A in airhead and S in stupid it has to be Nancy Pelosi. As for the truth, Nancy “airhead” Pelosi wouldn’t know the truth if it hit her in her dumb ass with a snow shovel. This moronic disgraceful betrayor of Ameican ideals and values is going down as the stupidest Speaker in our nations history. I believe she has misused her position and is nothing but a fraud who has enrichened herself at the expense of the American people. She actually did say one thing right. She said its all about who VOTES. I pray that Americans who are sick of this administration and I mean ALL Americans who want us to return to Reganomics and back to our great nation status will get to the voting polls. Being upset as most of us are is not good enough. the only way we can win our country back is to VOTE. We must not fail to VOTE on 2 November and in 2012. We must not allow our country to be turned into a George Soros/Obama socialist country. NFW!!!

      Fortunately, I don’t think a political coup with that crazly loon involved would ever work in the U.S. because she would have to have the backing of the military to make it work, and I think it is fair to say VERY few in the military support her or her like because they want to dismantle it anyway. And without the military support we could just walk right in and remove them all from the building old world style – tarred and feathered and riding a pole!

      What’s even scarier is that “Foot in his Mouth” Biden thinks he is third in line, which would put him behind “Pope” Pelosi and “Dreamworks” Harry. I use Mr. Reid’s first name, because not even his own son who is running in Nevada uses his last name. Wouldn’t want any guilt by association, would we now?

    She lives in a liberal wonderland where saying something makes it true – so she says what she wants to be reality instead of living in the world of reality which is no where near as pleasant for her as her liberal fantasy land. It is as if the connection between her brain and her mouth has been severed or frozen by botox.

      She seems to be serious. I am glad for one time I do live in AZ instead of CA. She seems to have been in Hollywood for too long – as she believes the delusions of DC are the reality for the rest of America.

      Except for this possibility – what if she and the other progressives are already preparing or have prepared to make a political coup attempt to seize power. Remember she is only two accidents or incidents away from being a Dictator disguised as a President.
