I Think That's a Stretch...

Cindy Sheehan says that Nancy Pelosi "supports" President Bush.

First: Pelosi hasn't "supported" President Bush nearly as much as the Republicans in Congress have.

Second: The two examples Sheehan cite also included some other prominent Democratic support/votes.

Third: I hope Sheehan doesn't think that by beating Pelosi, she would become Speaker of the House.

Here are some of the ways that Pelosi has supported the Bush Agenda.

- Funding the Iraq War

- Pushing through the bailout

- Sabotaging ENDA

- Sabotaging hate crimes legislation

- Pushing through corporate controlled trade agreements

- Withdrawing a resolution condemning the Armenian genocide

- Supporting the Bush "stimulus package" which did nothing to stimulate the economy, but which gave rich people more money they could use to inflate the stock market before the crash

I still don't see how her support is any different than other prominent Democrats. And I certainly don't think it's on par with John McCain. I just it's misleading to imply that Pelosi's stances and votes are virtually like a Republicans'.

I think the only Democrats (in both the House or Senate) who didn't vote for any of what you mentioned were Sen. Feingold and Rep. Kucinich, but I'll have to double-check.

If I were Sheehan, I'd just stick to the fact that Pelosi took impeachment "off the table." That's indisputable, and would resonate better with more voters.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
