Pelosi is coming out swinging and it looks like Senator Graham is going to be backing her up? I think I will start popping the corn!!

I don't think that they've thought this whole thing through (unsurprisingly). After all, how can the Republicans implicate her in knowing about ILLEGAL activities without acknowledging that what the Bush (mis-)administration was (apparently) already doing and telling Pelosi about was ILLEGAL? That's also assuming, of course, they would even openly disclose their involvement in ILLEGAL activities to a particularly despised "San Francisco Liberal" like Pelosi.

5. I'm no fan of Pelosi, but I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt

based on the utter BS provided by intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war. This is an excuse to go full tilt on the hearings and that means sending Dick a subpoena. She just might be pulling a fast one on the Grand No Party.

7. Pelosi is this election cycles Bill Clinton.

In '93, '94, the Republicans took dissatisfaction with Clinton and ran with it, making big gains in '94.

They'd like to do that with Obama, but they can't, he's untouchable.

So they're trying to do it with Pelosi, because nobody likes Pelosi. But then again, I don't think many people really care either.
