cnn.com — Digg CEO Jay Adelson asks House Speaker Nancy Pelosi questions sent by iReporters and selected by the Digg community. The questions you guys posed got answered, it seems like she did her best job to really answer them and take them as serious as any questions.

What are you rambling about??Americans as a whole don't give two s**ts about the process, and whine like hell about the results. Hell, you could count the number of Digg users who have contacted congress, experienced a congressional session, or even f**king voted on one hand. Obviously a euphemism, but the number is small.

The problem with the audio is that they did the interview directly in the center of a huge crowd of people making noise. It looked like a restaurant, maybe the one CNN had rented out. But mics pick up all noise fairly equally and can't automatically drown out what you don't want to hear like your brain does. Other then the location I rly liked the interview though. I got the impression that her and a large number of democrats were trying to do the things they wanted but the Senate always shut things down, and in the one instance where something got through, The Pres shut it down. It's nice to know that there are some people who are trying but it's also disappointing to know there are other people trying just as hard for the douches whose opinions you don't like. It's a wonder anything happens or gets done.

LOL Yes! She thought the video question was live and took the time to specifically thank the dude for his question That was priceless. And as for her being creepy. She's hot. I'd do her. Power is sexy.

I believe that she was saying that there's an executive branch that is opposed to the progressive agenda, and that the executive has veto power over bills. If we had an executive branch that wasn't so opposed to these bills, they would be signed into law. I'd think it's pretty obvious that if McCain is elected president that congress can try all they want, but he will veto, and then dips**ts will blame congress. It's incredible to me that people hold congress responsible for bills not becoming laws.

Congratulations Digg. You completely wasted your opportunity with Pelosi. By relying on popular opinion to select the questions you were guaranteed to get questions that were not controversial, were Democrat oriented, were lacking in intellectual content, and were exactly the type of questions that allowed Pelosi to provide nonspecific vacuous answers. The time wasted with these silly questions did absolutely nothing to expand the political knowledge base ... YOU COULD HAVE ANSWERED THESE STUPID QUESTIONS FROM HER HISTORICAL ANSWERS AND PUBLIC STATEMENTS.It is evident that Digg believes it's community's "digging" somehow represents a collective wisdom, the results of this experiment proved that it DOES NOT. Digg-ing amounts to nothing more than a popularity contest where the judges are predominantly immature, simplistic and ignorant.
