Pelosi and Cali Cohorts Flip the Bird

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has hijacked a long-standing Capitol tradition -- Thursday Fried Chicken -- and some people are crying fowl!

A TMZ source says that Speaker Pelosi and her cohorts in the California Democrat delegation have moved the beloved fried chicken on the Capitol dining room menu to Wednesdays so they can have some bird in their weekly lunch meeting. What's more, we're told, they're having the bird shlepped to their own conference room during the midday rush, causing all sorts of havoc for the Dining Room staff, who are said to be "furious" about the hassle.

A Capitol dining room manager didn't know why, but confirmed that the switch went into effect in January, when Pelosi and Dem guys took over the House. A Pelosi spokesman just clucked at our account, saying that the change was just "a regular part of ... soliciting members' input, and [the day] just got moved around."

31. Our Congress is led by this sour puss of an individual. It does not surprise me at all that one of the first thing she does is redecorate her office and infuriate her fellow congressmen and women by changing a traditional fried chicken meal. This woman represents the hate Bush crowd well and the American people now see her for who she really is. She is one scary ass liberal.

32. And 47 million people in the USA can't even afford health care. Meanwhile, their government is more concerned about having their chicken delivered to their meetings. LOL, but it must be ok with the majority cause I don't hear anybody in the states complaining.

33. My initial thought was who cares, but after reading comment nuber 11, I thought I might as well waste a few minutes. If one views Nancy Pelosi as "loopy" and "not flying all her sails," how would he/she characterize Mr, George W. Bush? For me, Mr. Bush is either wired wrong or not wired at all. A neuropsychologist would have quite a challenge in diagnosing what disorder(s) drives his irrational thoughts and behaviors. Our President obviously is a man whose intellectual quotient (IQ) falls way to the left on the bell -shaped curve. Addditionally, his emotional intelligence (EQ) is virtually absent. Given his pre-Presidential history and what he has done as President, how could Mr. Bush feel comfortable in his own skin? He is either in extreem denial, narcisistic, or clueless. Suffice is to say that Mr. Bush marches to the tune of a different drummer and that drummer is best characterized as an "air head." I believe that Mr. George Bush is still trying to prove to his father, mother and siblings that he is "okay." Given his history of alcoholism and other illegal drug use and being labeled as the "black sheep of the family," he actions are predicated on proving to himself and family that he is "okay." When one's actions are totally driven by self-interest, he/she looses perspective and the ability to engage in analytical logic. Do you wonder why Mr. Bush is viewed by many as a "black and white thinker?" Of course I use the word "thinker" loosely. I realize that everyone has their own set of prisms through which they formulate their political views, but even given that reality, logical thinking would have to at the least make one wonder about the fitness of Mr. George W. Bush to be president of America the Beautiful. Question: Does he know he is lying when he does or does he actually believe his lies?

36. This is what we the tax payers have to put up with. This is total BS. She should be doing something better with OUR time and money. They should all be getting fed bagged peanut butter sandwitches or bring their lunch from home like the rest of us real working people have to do. Even they feel like the government should feed them like welfare receipients. I have to buy my own lunch every day how bought you?

37. To the victor belong the spoils, don't you know? However, this is not the only item the power hungry democrats are pulling. The alzheimer suspect Congressman Murtha is grabbing an unprecedented amount of "earmark" money for his district. a filthy habit of the party in power. And this after Pelosi and Reid promised to reform and do away with that ugly habit. But, it shows, Congress has an approval rating of 14 percent while our President Bush has a low approval of 36. Power corrupts and it sure shows in the Pelosi and Reid power grab.

38. This is truly horrifying to read some of these comments.

The Democrats (like’ em or hate’em) are the only thing standing between us (the citizens, the true backbone of America) and a full fledge dictatorship. A dictatorship where you (that’s right you sitting there on your ass while our soldiers are in a meat grinder in Iraq), a regular citizen would be tried for treason (imprisoned and perhaps put to death) by simply questioning or speaking out on what the “government’ is doing.

It is quite obvious that anyone using this insignificant thing, a “Chicken lunch” to spread hate has no idea whatsoever of what is really going on with the “government” these days.

39. Who cares what they eat. What bothers me is that she and the democrats just defeated a bill that would protect Americans that reported suspicious behavior. Thanks to them, you can now be sued into the poor house if you report something that might be some kind of terrorist threat. Thanks, Grandmother Nancy.

41. Pelosi should have changed the menu to DUCK as in lame duck..Dems have been in office for 6 months and what have they have done? I know its bush's fault...Get ready for tax hikes in 08" another terriost attack,and complete withdrawl from Iraq. The far left hate groups and the overwhelming liberal media have certainly set it up for a democract to be in office.It is scary because there isnt a candidate on either side that is very qualified...

42. Pelosi never does anything complimentary to her office, she has a dismal record, lowest poles, ignored the White House about her trip Mideast, accomplished nothing, made us look bad-real bad, made promises she could not keep, just wasting time being Miss Bigshot-shame on you. Vote her out next time along with all the others that do nothing, fill bills with pory-now chicken and waste taxpayers money-time. Just get her out of there-simple!

43. First you had the trash by the flag, then I come across this idiot food clash. I wonder what "The Founding Fathers" would think about their "Posterity" (regurgitate).............

44. You are what you eat and this woman is certainly chicken -- afraid to do her sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and call for the impeachment of the criminals who took over the White House. She would actually become our first woman president -- if she had the balls.

45. When is America Going to wake up, and realise the rest of the world thinks they are the joke of the year? Take Peloski she thinks she is above the law of the land with some the scarey things she has done. Why go on witch hunts against the Republicans (o.k they are no angel's) and why all the investigations into them about what day and time they went for a pee or whatever .They need to take a long hard look at their own party first like Kennedy and Clinton, time to clean up your own house first before you try cleaning up others first.
P.S The Peloski's and the Clinton's of this world give women of this world a bad name
