Democratic speaker of the House Pelosi ran home to San Francisco rather than allow a vote to allow new drilling in America to bring down the price of gas at the pump.
She then went on a national book tour touting herself as an example of leadership for "America's daughters."
Michael Barone elevated Pelosi into the number one position of shame in this session of Congress by using procedural tricks to get around the requirements of the fast track trade law to bring signed trade treaty deals to the floor for a vote. And who did she do it to? America's foremost ally in the America's -- Colombia.
President Uribe of Columbia recently mounted a fantastically successful operation to free hostages (including three Americans) held in some cases for years by FARC terrorists Uribe is winning fight alongside the United States against communist-leaning Venezuela and drugs.
Yet Pelosi thumbed her nose at America's best ally. It's fitting that respected political analyst Michael Barone said her action was the most shameful of this Congress.
So Pelosi goes into our Hall of Shame, deservedly so.
Shame.
