EITHER SHE FORGOT THEIR SAFETY WORD...:
SCHIP dispute leaves Pelosi cornered (Lisa Lerer, Oct 14, 2007, Politico)
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) vowed no compromise on the $35 billion State Children’s Health Insurance Program. “No lower level than 10 million children,” she said on Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “I wish the president had signed the bill. We’ll try very hard to override it.”But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said concessions are inevitable. “She is going to compromise, there’s no choice. We are not going to walk away and leave these young people from low-income families uninsured,” McConnell said also on ABC.
“This is going to be like a pebble in the ocean,” he predicted, “a short-term controversy, a big partisan struggle, and then it’s going to be over.”
Earlier on “Fox News Sunday,” House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said that Republicans would sustain the veto when the issue returns to the House floor.
...or she's starting to like being mitchslapped as much as Harry Reid apparently does. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 14, 2007 5:48 PM
