Nancy Pelosi: Insane, Foolish, and Wrong

In another very unCNN moment, Kyra Phillips made a dozen good points while arguing with Nancy Pelosi on air. A couple of things I'd like to point out.

I'm glad the President is going to have a national day of prayer. It's about time, as well, that we mourn our losses and we pray for our future. Uh, I think it's not a, a strange coincidence that on Sunday, the 23rd Sunday after Easter, the Gospel of Matthew was about the commandments. And, and Matthew said the most important of all, uh, is love. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

A couple of things wrong with this. According to the Lectionary (the pattern of reading through the Bible that most churches follow) the message for the 23rd Sunday after Easter (Sept. 4) is not about the commandments. Not until October 23rd does the passage arise in the lectionary of the commandments about love. Now, this may not be important to some people, but when Nancy is on CNN preaching about what she "heard" in church on Sunday turns out to be completely bogus, it says something about a person's character.

A more simple correction about what she said includes the fact that Matthew didn't say anything about the commandments about love - Jesus did. Simple, but obviously not brought up in Nancy's "church" service.

My favorite part is when Nancy repeatedly talks about "what went wrong" and how "FEMA went wrong" without ever describing what it was that went wrong! I love the idea that because the response to hurricane Katrina has been described as a mistake so much that our elected officials can go on national television and talk about how this and that should be changed because of what "went wrong" when I bet Nancy Pelosi couldn't describe a single factor of the "went wrongness."

I was going to go on, but I encourage you to check out the link above and listen to Nancy Pelosi spew liberal "it's all Bush's fault" talking points. It's ridiculous. Go and listen to Nancy and ask yourself, who voted for her?
