Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), responding to C-Span’s letter to congressional leaders asking to film the debate on the health care bills in which the President’s promise of “transparency” was quoted, said firmly — when she emerged from the secret meetings behind closed doors:
“There has never been a more open process for any legislation.”
Do write that on a 4 x 5 card and tack it up where you can see it every day until the next election.
She also “hinted” that holding informal negotiations — likely without TV cameras — might be the “most practical” way to push the legislation through.
“We will do what is necessary to pass the bill.“
Representative Chris Van Hollen (D-Md), assistant to the Speaker said the healthcare bill had been “subjected to unprecedented level of public scrutiny.”
“We don’t even know if there’s going to be a conference committee,” he said, alluding to the likelihood that Democrats will reconcile the two bills behind closed doors.

I wonder…Is Nancy Pelosi evil, or just nuts?

Comment by American Elephant January 7, 2010 @ 1:22 pmOpen? Yes, in a way. Open to more spending, open to more vote buying, open to more social engineering, open to more placating a single end of the political spectrum, even though that doesn’t seem to be working for them after all.
Open to constructive criticism? Closed tighter than security at a White House state dinner. Much tighter actually.
