Nancy Pelosi blames George W. Bush for Veterans Affairs scandal House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., repeatedly put the blame for the Veterans Affairs scandal on former President George W. Bush, while arguing that her party has worked hard for veterans in recent years. Pelosi took a shot at Bush while saying that the scandal is a high priority for Obama.

Below is a screen shot from the DNC homepage with a confident (or, maybe confused) looking Joe Biden proclaiming: I'm there! Are you? Well, apparently not.

There's something Nancy Pelosi knows that no one else who was involved in the congressional investigation of Newt in the 1990s knows? (BTW, this Byron York column on how politicized and wrong the ethics charges against Newt were is a must read.) Not even any of the anti-Newt Republicans...
Mitt Romney's campaign is in trouble. The trouble is not just the South Carolina vote count. Romney's internal polling almost certainly also showed that he was behind in Florida, as public polling released today reflects. More worrisome for Romney is a growing chorus of doubters within the...
