Pelosi Spoke with Steve Scalise
Ok. I'll man up. I've made no bones about my dislike for Nancy but this was a class move on her part. She gets a temporary pass...good for one day.
Quote:House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., revealed Thursday she spoke to House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., earlier that morning and said he sounds "wonderful" more than a month after being shot during practice for the Congressional Baseball Game in mid-June.
Pelosi made the comment during her weekly press conference after mentioning news that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has been diagnosed with brain cancer. She said she is a big believer in the "power of prayer" and hopes both recover from their respected health battles.
"I was just sharing with my colleagues that at 10:30 a.m. I had a conversation with our colleague Steve Scalise, who sounds wonderful," Pelosi said. "I just told him about our prayers for him, our hopes for his recovery, but not sooner than he really is recovered."
Scalise is currently recovering at MedStar Washington Medical Center from a gunshot to the hip. According to MedStar on July 13, he is in fair condition after he underwent surgery to deal with a deep tissue infection.
Pelosi Is Human After All

Might be more than that. It was probably a calculated move designed to render a facade of humanity.

I'm surprised that she prays. No really, I was. I was wondering if she goes to Oblunder's church with the Rev. Mr. Wright.

RE: Pelosi Spoke with Steve Scalise
Meanwhile a candidate for Jeff Sessions' Senate seat (Rep. Mo Brooks) uses audio from the Scalise shooting in his latest campaign ad. Scalise's chief of staff says the audio makes his stomach turn, and Chris Bond, Scalise’s spokesman, suggested that the use of the footage was ill-advised.
“I guess some people have their own ideas about what’s appropriate, don’t they,” said Bond in an email.
