Nancy Pelosi’s Famous Last Words

I found these comments from the Speaker of the House particularly amusing:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she still expects to have her job in five weeks after voters head to the polls.

Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, whose job as speaker makes her third in line to the presidency, said she would retain that position.

“I fully expect to be speaker of the House five weeks from now,” Pelosi said at a NBC/Universal women’s forum in Manhattan, as reported by the New York Times.

Well yes Nancy, you will be Speaker of the House five weeks from now, six weeks from now, even seven weeks from now.

The question is whether you’ll be Speaker of the House when the 112th Congress convenes on January 3, 2011.

    This prediction is as worthless as yours Doug, but I suspect she will still be speaker although with a somewhat reduced majority. However, Im not going to eat my hat if she’s not, are you willing to eat yours if she is Doug?

    Joe,

    I haven’t predicted anything……just pointing out that her “I’ll still be Speaker in five weeks” comment will be true regardless of how the election turns out

    Yeah right Doug, you haven’t predicted anything. How could anyone draw such a conclusion?
