Passive Pelosi™ the buck-passer

Nice to know that the Speaker of the House (and frequent critic of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid) wants the Senate to do what she couldn’t or wouldn’t get the House to do on FISA: spend more time discussing it. She said it would be “helpful.”

That said, it’s clear her idea of “helpful” is helpful in terms of greasing the skids to ram this down the collective American gullet.

“This issue has not been digested thoroughly by the American people,” Pelosi said at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, saying it has been “a cause for great anger.”

That means it could be "helpful" if they heard more about it in a Senate debate.

In describing her own position on the bill, she said, “With great — take out ‘great’ — I can comfortably vote for the bill.”

You already DID “comfortably vote for the bill.”
