Nancy Pelosi, Liar

And she has provoked the CIA to boot. Charles Krauthammer on Fox's Special Report today on the Speaker's unbelievable claims on what she knew and when she knew it:
"Her news conference today was an utter disaster. She was nervous, she was shifty, her syntax was incomprehensible, and there were times that she had to refer to her original statement because she couldn't remember what her current truth was. It reminds me of a line in a Graham Greene novel, in which a spy says I prefer to tell the truth, it's easier to memorize. Well she didn't have it memorized. You have a sense that if you had attached a lie detector to her in that newser it would have short circuited. Her problem was this: She was internally contradictory, with one point within thirty seconds, she contradicted her own statement on what she had heard and done from her staffer in February '03. She was contradicted by the evidence of others like Porter Goss. Her charge of the CIA lying to her is utterly implausible. Why would it lie to her and tell all the others the truth? It makes no sense at all. And it was refuted by the black and white Obama CIA memo...not a memo out of the prince of darkness Bush and Cheney, but Obama's CIA...she is now at war with the CIA, which through selective leaking can destroy her, and I suspect they will."
