This Week’s Winner of The Teflon Weasel Award – Nancy Pelosi
Posted by: | CommentsWe had many people eligible for this week’s Teflon Weasel Award, but none more worthy than Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Even as she continues to get regular briefings from the intelligence community, Speaker Pelosi has refused to back up her accusations that the CIA lied to her and Congress.
Even after CIA Director Leon Panetta’s rebuttal, Speaker Pelosi said that she stands by her statement.
Meanwhile, Breitbart reports that the House rejects probe into Pelosi CIA claims as “House Democrats defeated a Republican push to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claims that the CIA misled her in 2002 about whether waterboarding had been used against terrorism suspects.”
Another Democrat Tax Cheat
Posted by: | CommentsI Hate the Media is reporting on a Detroit Free Press article about city council member who pays only $68 in annual property taxes as neighbors in comparable homes pay $2000-6000.
As you might expect, JoAnn Watson’s a Democrat, but that fact is conveniently omitted from the Detroit Free Press article.
The story gets even more laughable when JoAnn Watson attempts to explain why her taxes are so low.
“I’ve been a target of a smear campaign,” Watson insisted. “… I pay my bills and whatever I was billed, I paid.”
“I pay the taxes. All I know is I had a big drop when my house got hit hard by a tornado,” Watson said. “We had great damage.”
Watson claims her home suffered roof and foundation damage, but the Free Press notes that she never filed an insurance claim.
When did the tornado hit? Well, that’s where Watson’s story gets a tad hazy. She said it might have been 1993. Or it might have been 2002. Who knows?
Watson is a past winner of Detroit’s “Women’s Equality Day Lifetime Achievement Award.” But property taxes were obviously not included in that equality thing.

Unknown: The Whereabouts of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Foot and Head.
Posted by: | CommentsSpeaker Pelosi only opens her mouth to change her feet, one of which is usually stuck up the rear end of one of her many rivals. As to the position of her own head, we refuse to speak. However, we do reveal that having one’s head where the sun does not shine makes it difficult to read bills before one signs them into law.
Last week, in a feeble attempt to explain her conflicting stories, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally acknowledged that she was indeed briefed about the use of waterboarding and other tactics on suspected terrorists. She still claims that the CIA deceived her and other members of Congress. However, according to a Washington Times poll, the American people overwhelmingly believe that the CIA did NOT lie to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about the use of controversial interrogation techniques.
We can’t wait to see what material Nancy will provide this coming week. We may even consider her for our Teflon Weasel award.
Announcing the Teflon Weasel Award
Posted by: | CommentsWe stole the term “Teflon Weasel” from @DougPreston, a Twitter friend of ours who is a major contributor at Liberty’s Army. He used it to describe Nevada Senator Harry Reid who is the Senate Majority Leader (until 2010) and is, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, part of the liberal comedy team, Dumb and Dumber. You tell us who is who.
But we digress. Taking Doug’s very eloquent phrase, Teflon Weasel, we created and award: The Teflon Weasel Award which we will give out as occasion requires.
Let’s take a moment to define Teflon Weasel. According to Dictionary.com’s Jargon File, weasel is, “one who deliberately or accidentally does things that are stupid or ill-advised. Roughly synonymous with loser.”
Also according to Dictionary.com, teflon is an adjective used to describe a person who is “characterized by imperviousness to blame or criticism: a Teflon politician.”
Therefore, the Teflon Weasel Award will be given to “weasely” people who seem to get away with everything.
There are so many people, mostly politicians (from all parties) and celebrities that there will be no shortage of people to nominate.
That’s where you come in. we will be asking for you nominations and votes.
Happy weasel hunting.
