Questions For Nancy

So what is Congress doing, anyway? That was a common refrain in a handful of questions posed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the first Digg Dialogg interview Wednesday night.

iReport contributor ReallyRick, whose real name is Rick Seno, wanted to know how Pelosi explained Congress' low approval rating. "What can you do to assure the voters that the Congress is not in gridlock?" he asked on camera from his Dallas, Texas, apartment

I submitted some questions, but of course, mine got rejected. So, in the spirit of fairness, I will post them here. :) Watch the above video to see Nancy squirm, sidestep blame, and try to make everything look like it's not her fault. :)

Nancy,

Why did you push for an increase in minimum wage, yet oppose it for America Samoa, which has a Starkist plant who happens to be headquartered in your district? Don't you think it reeks of hypocrisy and politics?

Nancy,

Why did you proclaim to "end the culture of corruption" then turn around and put a suspected corrupt member of your own party on a committee that has access to classified intelligence? (William Jefferson and the Homeland Security Committee)

Nancy,

Why did you promise to end the war in Iraq by defunding it, then cave time and time again?

Nancy,

Why do you complain about the federal debt, but continue to spend lavishly on yourself and other Democrats. For example, you spent $16,000 on flowers for your inaugural party.

Nancy,

When are you going to start listening to the American public and start balancing the budget instead of blaming George W. Bush for your failures? You are the Speaker of the House. Don't you think that you bear some responsibility for what's going on right now?

I got 256 diggs for that post. :)
