Nancy Pelosi channels Cuba Gooding Jr.

Apparently House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been watching “Jerry Maguire”:

Democratic leaders in Congress sidetracked legislation to bail out the auto industry Thursday and demanded the Big Three develop a plan assuring the money would make them economically viable. “Until they show us the plan, we cannot show them the money,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said at a hastily called news conference in the Capitol.

I’m not sure her delivery quite does justice to the original, though:

Which movie catchphrase Pelosi will parrot next?
