Thanks for the compliment about my interview, Brad. Your piece is most eloquent.

Now that we’ve got the mutual stroking over with, let me state for the record that I can’t recall a single more disappointing elected official in my lifetime than Nancy Pelosi.

Who exactly buys her book? Does she have supporters like Hillary does who see her as a beacon to women?

Terrific piece!

I think an inquiry needs to be done. It must be thoughtful and rational and not appear to be political axe grinding. This is where we need leadership and your right…Pelosi ain’t it.

I hope you’re right about Bugliosi, Sam. I couldn’t agree more with you, Denny. I finally got a chance to read Russ Wellen’s excellent interview with Bugliosi. I know the establishment media has buried his book. We should keep ramming it against the ramparts. I believe many Americans, not to mention the rest of the world, would be heartened to know there are no time limits on trying Bush (and his capos) for murder. While it appears to be doing pretty well in sales (according to Amazon), there’s no reason this book isn’t in the top 20 or so in non-fiction sales. Thanks, guys.

i gave up on the dems in general and pelosi in particular when BEFORE the 06 elections she was already screaming this promise from whatever hilltop she could. then, during the primaries, we had hillary getting campaign advise from and quoting documents / analyses prepared by Karl Rove.

what more proof does anyone need to see we suffer today under an Elite Political Class who circle the wagons to protect their own whenever possible.

this is NOT how this country or its constitution was designed.

I’d always understood the philosophy behind criminal prosecution, conviction and sentencing to be one of deterrence. I agree with Sam. Bad acts require consequences; otherwise, bad acts will be repeated.

Thanks, Brad.

Great piece, Brad. I said when she first took impeachment off the table that I understood her motivations, but I’m not sure I ever really agreed with her. And with each passing day I think it becomes more and more important to the Republic that future presidents have an example to guide their behaviors and curb their excesses.

Pelosi ain’t gonna get it done, though. Maybe Bugliosi has sufficiently inspired a couple DAs, though….
