And with this one statement, Nancy Pelosi shows she's not qualified to lead

Nancy Pelosi, quoted in the New York Times:

“What is interesting to me is how the Republicans have stuck with the president...I didn’t foresee that.”

And that, my friends, may very well be the "WTF???" moment of the year.

How on earth could Nancy Pelosi have NOT known that Republicans would stick with this president, when they had been doing just that for six years? When even Arlen Specter and Chuck Hagel, the most outspoken critics in the Republican Party voted for everything George Bush wanted and against everything he didn't, when the time came to take a stand? I realize that Specter and Hagel are in the Senate, not the House, but they are emblematic of the lemmings-off-a-cliff mentality of the Republican Party. Did she really expect that Republicans were just going to stop doing what they've been doing since 1994 and suddenly capitulate to the inevitability of Democratic dominance? If so, then she's more out of thought than any of us thought and it's time for her to step down and let someone else lead; someone willing to see what's right in front of his/her eyes.
