I'd bet the "croc dollar."

Mark the date. I think the White House is going to dump Pelosi as Speaker. Now Constitutionally they haven't that authority of course, but politically? She is the only one on her side catching heat on these "what did you know & when did you know it" questions regarding the "infamous" (I feel as though I should double the quotation marks flanking that word) water boarding, and other advanced interrogation techniques. She has been huffing & puffing, describing these techniques as illegal, immoral, etc, etc for a year now, and low & behold we find out (as we here already knew occurs routinely) she, as a senior member of congress was briefed on water boarding prior to its implementation ... imagine that.

Now she is trying to parse the discussion - noting that they (the CIA) informed her that the White House had a "legal finding" that they "could" use the techniques, but (and get this), "they never said they actually were going to use them." That's laughable on the face of it. Now, we all know this is a 3 week old story, her flip flopping on the briefing. However, recently I see mainstream reporters asking her if she raised any moral objections at the briefing of that "legal finding", and she stumbles through a non answer. I see the CIA, under the domain of the Executive Branch mind you & run by Leon Penetta (a hardcore Party man) as the source of releasing the proof that those briefings occurred. And now, when she was out of the country for a few days Stenny Hoyer, the #2 Democrat behind Nancy in the House, announces congress may investigate her over what she knew and when she knew it! Her #2 announces this while she is out of town I'm telling you! The Republicans called for this and Hoyer has both the power and authority to tell them to bollix off ... but he didn't. And bare in mind, Stoyer was not her choice, she wanted Murtha, a Pelsoi loyalist but he burnt himself on the Marines in Haditha fiasco & thus was too volatile a character to put that close to her. And just guess whom Hoyer is a long time personal friend & political ally of? Rahm Emanuel, White House chief of staff.

I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Hey, speakers MUCH brighter & savvy then she have been knee capped. She's on her way out.
