This may help explain why the national unemployment rate went from 4.6 % to 9.7% since she took over as Speaker of the House.
Speaker Pelosi told reporters today:
“Unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs.”

Gee, and I always thought that long term unemployment was the way to encourage people to suck of the government teat and not work. I guess that’s why I’m not Speaker of the House.

“Unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs.”
That’s about as stupid as having sex to save your virginity.
Yrral Dleifsarb commented:
I am still astounded that anybody as obviously stupid as Pelosi is elected and re-elected. To me, it is clear proof of the hazards attending a one-party system.
BarbaraS commented:
This woman is a flake and proves it every time she opens her mouth. I read somewhere that continued use of botox will gradually destroy brain matter. Pelosi is the poster child for this theory. However, it is my understanding that this excuse is useless in Pelosi’s case, she has always been stupid.
IOpian commented:
My unemployment check covers my food bill. My income tax debt money would have bought a boat and depleted an inventory causing someone to hire someone to build another. She also has advocated the use of natural gas but absolutely no drilling.
Dumb. As. Dirt.

Honest to God, do these people live on EARTH?
Bruce MacMahon commented:
She’s a burger, fries, drink, and a toy short of a Happy Meal.
But, I’ll give her credit for actually taking questions from the press. When was the last time President Fantastic did such a thing?
Kathy commented:
Pelosi and Biden one dumber than the other, I just can not help but wonder do either one of them really believe what they say, or do they think we are just stupid and will believe it because they said it.
Dee commented:
Looks like according to Botox Pelosi I can now call myself an employed artist – drawing a check from the government.
Chris Vehr commented:
I know plenty of people who are drawing unemployment checks and are not lifting a finger to find a job. These people represent the natural lethargy that takes over when the decision to work is overtaken by a gift of free money.
“You can eliminate poverty by giving people money!”
Chris Vehr commented:
Make that: “You CAN’T eliminate poverty by giving people money!”
Oops!
tjexcite commented:
Is it a toss up to have this as a speaker or a RINO from South Carolina. Most will still take the RINO as they should.
wow commented:
someone wrote the following on another thread, and I tend to agree:
“I’d give California back to Mexico just to get rid of Pelosi.”

Nancy. One question. How?

God, that idiot would fail any Econ 101 class.
I have doorknobs smarter than Pelosi.
Warthog commented:
I sure would like to write Pelosi one of those checks.
(not going to happen but I can dream…)
Chippy commented:
Pelosi f’d up. She meant to say, “Unemployment Checks Are the Fastest Way to Create VOTES!”
xxx commented:
The UN and everyone else does not like OBumbling Oconomy. They want a different currency. This is Failosi and Reitardo and ONutzoid’s country of follies and hatred of US traditions. We have a mad lunatic running the country into the pit of hell.

Proof that botox kills brain cells.
Drew commented:
Our unbeloved retiring Congressman, Dave Obey, said last year that the more people on unemployment the better for the economy.
This is how these people think. It’s why all of them must be booted out of office.
Opus #6 commented:
Bread and Circuses are the best way to create jobs.
Er, right….

Isn’t it amazing how high an imbecile can rise in this country?

That’s because doorknobs turn to the right…
The Elector of Saxony commented:
Best argument for term limits is the nonsense that spews from most of our Congresspeople on a daily basis. It really seems that these are people who could not possibly make a living in the real world, but because they could read the prompter and smile big for the camera, we’ve sent them out of our communities (in which they were worthless) and to Congress (in which they are out and out dangerous)
We may be well rid of our village idiots, but just because our communities are better places in which to live for their absence, we have to start looking at the big picture. I am say without hyperbole or sarcasm of any kind, my mechanic would make a better Speaker than Nancy Pelosi. He has common sense, has balanced a budget, hired and fired people, and has had to live within both his personal and business means for years. We would be better off sending random people up there for a few years then allowing morons to become entrenched in power.

Athletes are required to undergo drug testing. Nancy Pelosi is living proof that politicians should be required to undergo drug testing.

She has “crazy” eyes, so it’s best not to take her seriously.
JP commented:
This woman is either stupid or a liar.
Whatever the case I know she is nothing short of a national disgrace.
God save us from her raging idiocy.
Tom Stelene commented:
This woman is seriously deranged. It is unbelievable who is governing us.

The only unemployment that will create jobs is HERS.

Effects of botox overdose= Nazi Nancy.
The woman is a blithering idiot extraordinaire.
ProLifer commented:
I give up.
brooklyn commented:
Can we remove this insanity from the SPEAKER’s Position this FALL?
Or are we going to put up with this disastrous “STATUS QUO”?
Dump Nancy, save the Country…
Dump the Democrats, create Jobs…
Dump Obama, save the Planet…
AuntieMadder commented:
I’m not saying she’s smart, but she doesn’t say dumb things because she’s dumb and believes them. She’s a liar and she knows she’s lying when she says these things. After hearing her twist Scripture to support her evil goals and inentions, I’m starting to wonder if she’s not demon-possessed. I’m serious. We know that the royal liar also twisted and misused Scripture for evil intent. Seeing the Pelosi-demon connection yet?

Ain’t that the truth!? (Well, hers and Oilbama’s, but still…)
Andreas K. commented:
Yeah Nancy, because that totally works in Germany.
Welfare state costs in Germany 2001: 33% of the annual budget.
Welfare state costs in Germany 2010: almost 50% of the annual budget.
Yep, working as planned!
Andrew B commented:
I don’t know which is more disturbing, that an allegedly sane, educated person can say these things, or that the vast majority of the media finds it unworthy of mention.
Nancy Pelosi, as near as I can tell, simply spouts whatever fantastical claim she wants at a given time. She cannot be as monumentally stupid as she appears, because she is obviously able to dress herself and find her way to work each morning. I think it goes deeper: she really, truly WANTS more natural gas, but without drilling. Shouldn’t she be able to have it? She has absolutely no plan to reduce unemployment, so shouldn’t it suffice that she WANTS unemployment checks to create jobs? I mean, what do people expect? Results?
She is just a needy child. An extremely dangerous, very powerful child.
eaglewingz08 commented:
How about we remove her from Speaker of the House and give her an unemployment check. We can tell her we’re creating or saving two jobs.
xiphos commented:

Make that, ALL politicians should be neutered/ spayed.

Some people are just dumb.
Some people are ignorant.
Some people are insane.
My friends this woman is certifiably nuts!

Let’s see….patient has suffered traumatic leg amputation and is rapidly bleeding out through severed femoral artery.
OK, class, choices for immediate emergency care of the patient are:
1. Apply tournequit to cut off bleeding, then get immediate EMT/ER treatment
2. Install IV line and administer one unit of normal saline to counteract fluid loss and wait for blood volume to increase
San Fran Nan raises her hand, vigorusly waiving it back and forth and grunting out, “Ooohh, Mr. Cotter, Mr. Cotter!”
“Yes, Ms. Pout-lousy?”
“The correct answer is none of the above! The ifrst order of events is to determine how much the person contributed to my Student Body Council campaign and then to find out whose ass to kick in the upcoming liability lawsuit!”
*sigh* “That’s exactly what I expected you to say, no more, no less. Why am I not surprised? Now, kindly sit down and shut up for the rest of the school year. Class dismissed!”

Another psychopath in congress.
This is the year for pyschopaths, from Obama down.

Orwell, George – 1984
[The concept is hinted at in 1984 as well, for the people of Oceania were not conquered and made to work–they stared out willingly, most likely. Promises were made of their better life to come (and were continually told they were in that better life through the telescreens daily) if they would only bond together under the banner of camaraderie and work for themselves and one another uncompelled!
[..]
“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two options which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself–that was the ultimate subtlety; consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word “doublethink” involved the use of doublethink. (pg. 120)
“Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date.” (pg. 124)
“We’re destroying words—scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. We’re cutting the language down to the bone.” (pg. 134)
“. . . there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.” (pg. 136)]

‘Virtual Progressive Parallel Administration’
[The first choice nominees for members of Dream Shadow Cabinet in 2004 included Jim Hightower, member of Progressive Democrats of America, for Secretary of Agriculture; Gary Hart, former Senator and former presidential candidate, as Secretary of Defense; then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; former New York governor, Mario Cuomo, as Attorney General; former U.S. Senator and player for the New York Knicks, Bill Bradley, as Secretary of State; former President Jimmy Carter as Ambassador to the United Nations; and former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Michael Dukakis as Secretary of the Treasury.]
