Political Lie of the Day

I normally would call this the "Political Quote of the Day", but it's too outrageous to call a simple quote:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is denying Republican claims that she is partisan, saying she has been open to GOP ideas.

In an interview with Charlie Rose on Friday, Pelosi was asked what is the most unfair and misleading impression of her. Pelosi initially said she doesn’t think about it, but when pressed, the Speaker took on her Republican critics.

“There seems to — some people think there seems to be a market for saying that I am very partisan, and that I don’t give the Republicans their opportunity. That simply is not true. They know in this recovery package that we had, we ask them what they wanted. They wanted certain things in there.” …

Pelosi suggested that Republicans are playing political games: “If you can’t win on policy, then you go to process. If you can’t win on process, then you go to personality. And that’s how they have decided they would make up stories about me and the rest…but you know what? I’m in the arena. We have big issues. I can’t be bothered about what they say about me. All I’m interested in is getting the job done. And I really want to get it done in a bipartisan way.”
That's such unadulterated B.S. There is no more partisan Democrat in Washington than Pelosi. She has Harry Reid and Barack Obama completely cowed and basically runs the place as if it was a Democrat field office.
