It’s not just the lame duck Congress, it’s the blame duck Congress. Princess Pelosi blames the Republicans for the fact that she’s the most hated person in Washington.
TheDailyCaller.com has the former Speaker’s laughable lament:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed Republican-funded attacks for her low approval ratings Wednesday, moments after Democrats re-elected her to head the party as minority leader in next year’s Congress.
“How would your ratings be if $75 million were spent against you?” Pelosi said, after being asked about her low approval ratings.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken at the end of October found that only eight percent of independents have a favorable view of Pelosi and just 24 percent of the general population approves of her job as Speaker. In the waning days of the 111th Congress, 73 percent disprove Congress as a whole, according to the Real Clear Politics poll average.
When asked why she decided to run for another term in party leadership despite the low ratings, she replied, “Because I’m an effective leader. Because we got the job done on health care and Wall Street reform and consumer protections. The list goes on. Because they know that I’m the person that can attract the resources both intellectual and otherwise to take us to victory because I have done it before.”
To paraphrase the immortal words of Shirley Ellis:
“Nancy!
Nancy, Nancy bo Bancy Bonana fanna fo Fancy
Fee fy mo Mancy, Nancy!
The blame game!”
