The Girl Can't Help It!

'Pelosi sounds like some sort of robot that's blown a circuit'
During her press conference yesterday, Nancy Pelosi followed a script so strictly that she kept going back to it so as to know how to answer questions. And on the few times she spoke on-the-cuff, she appeared almost robotic with what clearly were talking points.
Jim Geraghty references such behavior in a piece at The Campaign Spot today:
Pelosi, In Middle of Torture Answer: "We're Creating Jobs.":
Pelosi's reflexive defense that "I've been against torture my entire life," actually hurts her case, because it further raises the questions where her objections were. Even if you grant her interpretation that in the 2002 briefing, she was only told that waterboarding was a possibility, not that it was being used, one would think that someone who so strongly objected to the concept would have registered objections at that time. Then there's the 2003 briefing, in which her aide was told that it was being used. Again, one would think that Pelosi would have been registering her objections and doing what she could to argue against the practice. But there's no record of it; Pelosi's defense is essentially, "I let Jane Harman do it."
MSNBC just played a bit of John Harwood's interview with Pelosi, and she, in the middle of an answer explaining that she wasn't being partisan or hypocritical, blurted out, "we're creating jobs, they created this."
She honestly sounds like some sort of robot that has blown a circuit, repeating talking points that aren't anywhere near what Harwood asked about.
