Arianna Huffington "jumps the shark": Pelosi gets softballs [Updated w/hypocracy from 2002]

Imagine you had the opportunity to interview Nancy Pelosi on camera.  Your readers had overwhelmingly made calls to ask about why impeachment was off the table.

So what do you ask her?   "Are You Too Well-Behaved to Get Us Out of Iraq?"

And then you smile back and forth, and get absolutely zero new info and comment.

But hey, you'll still have access.  Another interview.  

Why do we have all the options on the table with Iran but the most (in fact only) effective option "off the table" with our criminal President?  Quite a simple question, worth pounding away on from every angle.  IT'S NANCY'S CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY for G-dsakes, and she is, you know, representing San Francisco...

We'll never get any answers as long as it is softball time for Pelosi and the press.

Go view Arianna's interview with Pelosi, and then picture Fonzi entertaining audiences with fake tension by jumping his motorcycle over a pool of sharks.  Great TV!  Great entertainment!

Update
Be sure to check out this Salon article from 2002 where Arianna realizes that Pelosi is all about dodging the questions:

And when Russert asked her to reconcile this with her previous opposition, she dismissed him with a curt, "That's neither here nor there now. Let's put that aside." And so they did.

So here we are, 5 years, 3000 American bodies, and by some estimates, a million Iraqi bodies later, and Arianna softballs with a question framed as if Nancy would be "misbehaving" to get us out of Iraq.   Unbelievable!
