WASHINGTON (BHN) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is "absolutely livid" at the Republicans' refusal to offer a rebuttal to President Obama's jobs plan speech tonight.
Pelosi said the party's "silence" would "speak volumes about their lack of commitment to creating jobs."
House Speaker John Boehner was quick to respond to Pelosi's statement, saying, "First of all, silence can't speak, as it is the absence of sound. But if in Nancy's Bizarro universe silence could somehow talk, our silence would speak volumes about our not giving a rebuttal to a plan so obviously retarded as to not be worth mentioning."
When told of Boehner's stinging remarks, Pelosi told reporters that "Speaker Boehner is just using words to mask his silence that is saying so much."
My comments: I'm getting a headache.
