Job well done

Posted on November 4, 2010 6:26 am

Nancy Pelosi summed up her term as Speaker of the House: “Job well done.”

No, really. She actually said that:

“We believe we did the right thing, and we worked very hard in our campaigns to convey that to the American people,” she said. “Nine and a half percent unemployment is a very eclipsing event. If people don’t have a job, they’re not too interested in how you intend for them to have a job. They want to see results.”

Asked to assess her tenure, Pelosi quickly answered, “Job well done.”

See? You thought I made that up. But I didn’t. She actually said that.

But, you know, thinking about it … she may be right. Depending on what she thought her job was.

  • If you thought your job was to bring America to the brink of financial ruin, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to make Americans miss having Republicans in charge, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to ram through ill-conceived, unwanted legislation, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to stand there and look stupid, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to bring Congress’ approval rating down to all-time lows, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to help Americans understand that voters in your district are stark raving mad, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to be the punchline of a joke, then job well done.

How would you assess Nancy Pelosi’s job?

    DONE.

    Hopefully they’ll get rid of the clown mallet and go back to a gavel now.

    >> If you thought your job was flying your family first class on military planes at the taxpayers’ expense and drinking thousands of dollars worth of booze on those flights, then job well done. And I was wondering if you needed an assistant.

    10 pound of excrement in a 5 pound paper sack, on fire (also known as a blivet). That pretty much sums it up.

  5. Iowa Jim says:

    Nancy treated Americans like a baby treats a diaper.

  6. MarkoMancuso says:

    She was supposed to saddle America with a “health care plan” designed only to give the Democrats permanent control of America, debt be damned. In this, she may have succeeded.

    Oh, am I supposed to be grading her by my own standards? Oh, in that case, I think she’s barely above the status of “traitor”

  7. Jimmy says:

    She’s like a failed septic tank emptying into an open sewer of socialism.

  8. Bratgirl says:

    If your job was to hold the Speaker of the House position for the shortest tenure in history…then job well done.

    Now get out of our House!

    * If you thought your job was to blow through taxpayer dollars like my kids through their Halloween candy, then job well done.
    * If you thought your job was to ignore the corruption of your own party members while claiming to drain the swamp, then job well done.

    It was a job well done, if by job you mean evil destroyer of everything we hold as right and true in American political leadership.

    Say what you will about Nancy Pelosi, she’s not an ugly woman. Not if you find women attractive that is.

    I would simply add:
