I'll Be Damned, Pigs Fly: Pelosi Thanks Bush For Role In Osama Takedown

I seriously believed pigs would fly before I saw what I just read, but lo and behold, I just read a piece at The Hill that reports Nancy Pelosi called President George Bush tp "congratulate him and thank him for the leadership role he had played in this quest over the years."

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said she called former President George W. Bush on Tuesday to congratulate him on the capture and killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Following a classified briefing on the operation to take down bin Laden, Pelosi told reporters that she called the former president earlier in the day to "congratulate him and thank him for the leadership role he had played in this quest over the years."

Pelosi was Speaker of the House for two years while Bush was in the White House.

Pelosi said she thought Bush appreciated the call.

“I wanted him to know the appreciation that many of us have in a bipartisan way ... that his role was important," she said.


Wow. Pelosi has just publicly done what Barack Obama didn't do publicly. She showed a bit of class by acknowledging what Bush did while he was in office.
