Crude: Oil? Nope. Pelosi.

You might have read this in the Post this morning.

But Democratic leaders said they had court precedent and constitutional scholars on their side. “The veto override will have the force of law,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Pelosi added that her original response upon learning of the mistake had been “uncustomarily crude.”

Then you might have wondered — well, what was that response?

For that answer, you’ll have to check out Jim Mills’ sensational blog in The Hill.  Here’s an excerpt:

Mills on the Hill: What was your immediate reaction when you heard this [the snafu]?
Ms. Pelosi: (After a long period of silence with several interesting facial contortions.) Uncustomarily crude.
[Laughter.]
Mills on the Hill: Excellent.
(Later in same news conference)
Mills on the Hill: Madam Speaker?
Ms. Pelosi: You had one already.
Mills on the Hill: That was a retort.
[Laughter.]
Ms. Pelosi: You got the most information of anybody.
[Laughter.]
I was uncharacteristically candid to you.
Mills on the Hill: You could go all the way around the bases and tell us exactly what you said.
Ms. Pelosi: It wasn’t as bad as you think.
[Laughter.]
Mills on the Hill: What was the first letter?

Mills does reveal the word.  We’ll save that surprise so you’ll click on his story.  But let’s just say, might be time to donate to the Committee to Re-elect Antsy Pelosi.
