Nancy Pelosi puts nation's business ahead of BCS title game

[MahxFahn]

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) is the grinch who stole the Bowl Championship Series title game.
Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) made a perfectly reasonable request, asking Pelosi to back off on House business Thursday night and Friday so that members from Florida and Oklahoma could attend the game between the Gators and Sooners on Thursday night in Miami.
One thing the House is supposed to do Thursday afternoon is certify the Electoral College vote for Barack Obama as president.
That can't wait?
Apparently not. Pelosi said no.
What does she know about football? She went to Trinity College in Washington, which doesn't have a team.
Besides, the Florida and Oklahoma delegations are heavily Republican.

Screw Nancy Pelosi. If I were representing Florida in Congress, I'd keep track of the game on my cell phone just to spite her while the voting was going on.

Yeah this definately could have waited. This congress hasn't done anything in about 4 years anyways other than vote to change the names of a few post offices, and let's not pretend that Pelosi a.k.a. super bit@# has the country's best interest at heart anyways. She hasn't cared about the country her whole life, I don't believe she started today.

Why don't they just wheel the tv in and play the game as a filibuster?

I love Cliff Stearns. I'm proud to call him my Congressman. Nancy Pelosi needs to learn to have some fun and be down to Earth like every other American.

If her constituents were in a Southern state, she'd look at things as we do.

Castor is the Rep from my district and she's a Democrat. Also Florida was a blue state last election.

Is she a Gator, or a traitor?

Emory and sadly FSU.

That sucks.

That sucks.

Well I voted for her twice. I don't know what I would do if her opponent is a Gator.
