"Pelosi said Bush "has dug a hole so deep he can't even see the light on this. It's a tragedy. It's a stark blunder."
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino retorted that Pelosi's comments were "poisonous," referring to the portion of Pelosi's statement that asserted Bush is rushing new troops there and betting that Congress won't cut off funds once they're in battle.
"It's certainly not in keeping with the bipartisan spirit and civility that the Democrats pledged and that we looked forward to," Perino said. "Speaker Pelosi was arguing in essence that the president is putting young men and women in harm's way for tactical political reasons. She's questioning his motivations rather than questioning his policies."
Perino has a lot of nerve to question Pelosi's "bipartisan spirit" considering the fact that his boss, GDub, has said he will bypass Congress and the Senate and will send more troops to Iraq whether or not either legislative branch supports it. What would Perino call that? Bipartisan spirit? Patriotism? GDub's stellar leadership? I would use Perino's own words in describing Bush's actions as "poisonous".
