To "Bush invented the google": I don't have a link. I heard her say it in a news conference.

Nevertheless, she did question the need, born of Senate filibuster rules, for 60 votes to pass legislation.
“I don’t even know how it is constitutional,” said Pelosi.

If you ask a question like this, you really need to give a legitimate news source, otherwise, we don't believe it!

I could answer this if you had any evidence that she made such a suggestion. I doubt you can provide any.
Edit: If she said this in a news conference, it a matter of record and surely would have been reported by Fox News or some other right wing outfit. You probably misheard her.
Edit 2: So now you change the subject to something she said about the Senate Rules? The Constitution doe give the Senate the power to make rules for it's operation, but the constitutionality of the Senate's ability to block legislation with the 60 vote rule does seem at least debatable, and the Republicans have also questioned it -- they did so before the 2006 election.

Pelosi is like any other Democrat. She has either never read the Constitution, or she knows the bulk of her constituency hasn't, and she's taking advantage of their ignorance. Every Democrat in office fall into one of those two categories.

Because the Democrats think that just by saying something is illegal or the president doesn't have this or that power often enough they can make it so.

First of all - I would like a link please - no blanket accusations.
Secondly, the way Bush uses a Veto is to go against the will of the people... which is not the purpose of the veto.
You can't just use it to ignore congress.
When it comes to domestic social issues - the President has absolutely NO valid reason to use a Veto... other than to be stubborn and counter-productive.

Because she wants her bills that would make us a communist/socialist country passed and it's just not happening. She needs some excuse as to why her democratic congress can't get anything done in Washington.

Because that is the next best thing to holding your breathe until you turn blue for liberals.

Got a link, there, Jeff? Can't ask people to explain something if they have no idea what you're talking about. I could say, "Why did Bush say that he should be crowned king?" but it doesn't mean he said it...

Same reason that she says any other stupid thing. She is Nancy Pelosi. She is 100% partisan. Right and wrong mean absolutely nothing to the woman.
