BloggeRhythms 7/20/2012

Today’s news is logically dominated by stories and reports about the heartwrenching shooting in Colorado, however, it’s really not the type of subject I have the knowledge, experience or credentials to comment about. So, I’ll just express my condolences to those who suffered such tragic losses and move on to something else.

And that something else for today is once again, Nancy Pelosi, who  I believe must hold some kind of record for reaching levels of political posturing so low they’re actually pretty funny.   

According to Jonathan Strong of Roll Call on-line, when questioned about why she and other top Congressional officials won’t release their tax returns, she “downplayed her previous demands for Mitt Romney to release his, calling the issue a distraction.”

And although as recently as Wednesday, she’d strongly urged Romney to provide further disclosure of his tax returns, today while maintaining Romney should release more documents because of “custom” and “tradition,” Pelosi said the issue was trivial compared with economic issues, saying “We spent too much time on that. We should be talking about middle-income tax cuts.” 

The issue came up due to a McClatchy News report showing only 17 of 535 Members released their tax returns when asked.

So, here we have another example of “leaders” who not only don’t live up to the definition of that word, they don’t even try. And instead of making even the slightest attempt to help solve their constituents problems, they point fingers instead, attempting to place blame on somebody else.

And that’s why when I see someone as worthless as the House Minority Leader hoist herself on her own petard, I find that my entries almost write themselves.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
