Pelosi Action Figure

Pelosi Action Figure

The Speaker of the House is the latest luminary to be immortalized as an action figure by Connecticut-based HeroBuilders.com, joining the likes of Rod Blagojevich, Bernie MadoffJohn McCain and Barack Obama. The smiling new doll wears an elegant  black pantsuit and comes with a tiny waterboard inscribed with the words ”Water Board: Fun for the Whole Family.”

Pelosi is under fire over her claims she wasn’t told that waterboarding was used against a terror suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in September, 2002. First, she said the Central Intelligence Agency lied to her about its so-called enhanced interrogation techniques being used on suspected terrorists. Then, when CIA Director Leon Panetta – a former Democratic House member – defended his agency, Pelosi shifted her criticism to the Bush administration. Now the Republicans are out for the Speaker, with some calling for her ouster.
