Pelosi: ‘500 million Americans’ losing jobs

By Joe Kovacs

The economy may be bad, but if you listen to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, it’s worse than is even statistically possible.

While answering a recent question about the speed of passing a stimulus plan, the California Democrat stated, “Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package, 500 million Americans lose their jobs. I don’t think we can go fast enough to stop that.”

Obviously, Pelosi misspoke, as the total population of the United States is only about 305 million.

Have the buffoons and tyrants in Washington got you down? Here’s how to fight back!

But the remark is getting widespread viewership today all over the Internet.

It has prompted over 1,100 comments already on YouTube, including:

  • 500 million Americans? And she called George Bush dumb? Any chance this will be played over and over and over tonight on the news? Nah, didn’t think so.
  • Egad. With idiots like this in charge, we are doomed.
  • She’s as sharp as a sack of wet mice.
  • 500,000,000 jobs. What’s this about [Sarah] Palin being dumb again?
  • Every word Bush uttered was analyzed for potential stupidity content and each detected instance was replayed in mainstream media (or cult media depending on your point of view) repeatedly. We owe the new “regime” (that is what we called the Bush administration, right?) no less “unbiased” treatment.
  • Maybe the plastic surgeon stuck the Botox needle in a little too deep when he pressed the plunger down.
  • They’d better do something quick! At this rate, my grandchildren will be unemployed 10 years before they’re born!
  • This no doubt takes into consideration job loss in all 57 states.
