Tears Of A Clown, Pelosi Gets All Choked Up

Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

• “I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late '70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made."

Gawker wonders if Pelosi went too far with her melodrama (umm, yes).  This will backfire politically.  Never let yourself look weak. Your opponents will use this clip to destroy you. Would love to see her thrown out of office in 2010.  If Karma is listening, please end this woman's political career. Tired of her personal stylists, personal jets and personal bullshit.

Hope people are following the ACORN story...tonight they released their 5th City video...San Diego...and this one the Acorn rep dicusses helping them smuggle the 12-year old El Salvadoran girls for the underage prostitution ring...

I'm not making this stuff up...if you haven't seen this story just search for Acorn videos...it just keeps getting weirder everyday...will be posting the entire group of videos when I get a chance...

And not for political reasons before someone objects...for fiscal reasons...Acorn gets your money and this is how they operate...

My favorite White House reporter, The Chuck Todd ( http://dailybail.com/home/ratigan-nassim-taleb-on-the-idiocy-of-cash-for-clunkers-and.html#comment5142195 ) , gets a lesson today on the "proper" way to sneeze. At a press briefing today, authoritarian nutjob and professional martinet, Kathleen Sebelius, shows Chuck how to "properly" cover his nose with the crook of his arm.

She also suggested that Elmo should come over and give Chuck a "special briefing" (I thought she meant Robert Gibbs). No need to worry, though, the sharp-thinking czarina quickly ensured that hand sanitizer was brought in to neutralize the remains of Todd's "toxic assets." The next thing you know, the government will be spending our tax money telling people the "proper," government approved way to sneeze. (Oops, looks like they've already done that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7u4zUQh1GE )

Oh, almost forgot...I meant to say that these are the type of people^ who want to run the entire health care system.

She is my rep in DC. Thank youu for saying this,

Would love to see her thrown out of office in 2010. If Karma is listening, please end this woman's political career. Tired of her personal stylists, personal jets and personal bullshit.

The sneezing stuff you bring up is silly beyond words. Not a good development when government takes on teh role of parenting. I can't believe some of the stuff that comes from Washington most days.

[skinflint]

This here is the funniest stuff of the day. In DC the elected servants were talking about the budget and our lady here talks about being sick, broken hearted and taint. I almost wrecked my truck I laughed so damned hard. Without further ado, taint. http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4518892/minority-leader-nancy-pelosi-2015-federal-spending-bill

Don't you think that orange hair, a bald spot and a train wreck of a face with all that make up would earn you an honorary degree from clown college or perhaps a tee time with our hapless swings like a woman president?
