The lovely lady pictured here is Nanci Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.  She was leading a 'bipartisan' attempt to wreck save our economy yesterday when she gave a speech prior to voting on the bill.

She just wanted to clarify a few things about the state of the economy first.  Here an excerpt:

$700 billion. A staggering number, but only a part of the cost of the failed Bush economic policies to our country. Policies that were built on budget recklessness when Pres. Bush took office, he inherited Pres. Clinton's surpluses - four years in a row budget surpluses on a trajectory of $5.6 trillion in surplus. And with his reckless economic policies, within two years, he had turned it around. And now 8 years later, the foundation of that fiscal irresponsibility, combined with an "anything goes" economic policy, has taken us to where we are today.

For some reason, this fair and open-minded statement was frowned on by some of the Republicans.

Shortly after the Republican outcry, an unbiased CNN reporter said the following:

The Republicans claim Pelosi's speech poisoned the vote, but I didn't see anything in her speech that could be seen as negative towards Republicans.

See?  Fair, balanced reporting that we have come to expect of CNN.

I just don't see what the fuss is about.
