There is a good reason why the Congress of the United States is earning an approval rating hovering around 15%. We saw a perfect example today when Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Speaker of the House, issued a statement claiming the Central Intelligence Agency was "misleading" her on the issue of interrogation techniques. When asked if she was saying the CIA lied to her, she said yes. Her response came after several permutations of the briefing or briefings had been issued by her office over the past two weeks. Pelosi is spinning this story at her best because she has been caught. Sadly, she has spent much of her time as speaker in a state of denial acting at the fringe of the Democratic Party. By accusing the CIA of lying she has pushed herself from denial into delusion and thereby jeopardizing her role as a effective leader of her own party as well as the House.Chances are she's going to survive this storm because derangement syndrome - Bush and otherwise - is a strong influence within her party. Dysfunction followed by derangement in the House isn't a positive sign for either party or for approval ratings or cooperation from heretofore trusted agencies of government. Stay close to this monster; it's alive!
