Oh, the humanity…
First, there was a plummeting “favorability” rating of 29 percent, nearly half of her “unfavorable” score, according to a recent Gallup poll. Then there was the staggering loss of 60 seats in the House of Representatives, a resounding midterm election “shellacking” if there ever was one.
Now, Nancy Pelosi can add “embattled” to her list of woes. On Friday, the lame duck speaker of the house announced her plan to fight to be house minority leader for the next session of Congress. Frankly, that decision sort of left me scratching my head and wondering how strong the Kool-Aid is in Pelosi’s office.
Turns out her new office might not have a Kool-Aid dispenser, among other amenities lost now that America has thrown her out on her saggy ass orderly asserted itself via the democratic process.
Gone will be the spacious office suite with its federalist decor, the rides home aboard a military plane, and a good chunk of her staff. “It’s a profoundly humbling experience”
she’ll lose the right to authorize overseas congressional trips and dole out prime office space to lawmakers. She will also shed 10 percent of her $5.1 million office budget and lose nearly half of what records show is a staff of over 50.
Sniff. Sniff.
And no more marching down the Mall with an over-sized gavel trying to antagonize tea partiers. Life can be cruel.
It’s never been more appropriate to say than now… Good Riddance! So shockingly tone deaf – were this the French Revolution, you can easily see her instrucing all to eat cake.
I was going to link to Linda Ronstadt singing “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me” but as I think about it, maybe I should go with “You’re No Good.”
If this were the French Revolution, Nancy’s cold, dead eyes would be staring up from the bottom of a wicker basket.
Only a progressive could consider Pelosi the voice of the “little guy”.
She comes from a very wealthy, very political connected Baltimore family (Her father was a D congressman and mayor Baltimore. One brother was mayor of Baltimore, another was on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors). Pelosi is married to a millionaire financier and developer.
She is the representative of a faction of the political and financial ruling classes, no more, no less.
This is my personal favorite way to bid adieu:

You ever notice your guy, Boner, is really gay looking? Plus he…cries a lot.

Boner makes Lindsey Graham look straight.
So, he’s your brother, Angry Clown?
Well, well.
Gosh, Clownie is a homophobe. The real face of the Democrat party exposed. Or maybe the clown just has an advanced level of “gaydar”, which would explain much.
Nah, gays are welcome in the Democratic Party, as in right-thinking, educated society. It’s only among you kooks that gays have to pretend to be “long-time bachelors” and whatnot. It’s only Repubicans that get caught in the men’s room at MSP with their pants at their ankles.
Hey Kerm, you gotta pick one. Angryclown is either a homo or a homophobe. Only you right-wing freaks can be both.
Obviously Angyclown is a closeted right wing freak.
I’ve never accused the clown of being a “homo”. Only his boyfriend knows for sure. That would be what the meaning of “maybe” connotes.
Gays are welcome in the democratic party, but they reserve the right to call someone they dont like gay based entirely on a difference in politics. Yeah, makes sense.
Buzz, that’ll happen when the situation dictates your ethics, rather than principle.
golfdoc,
this is my favorite way to say goodbye, and I nearly did this almost exactly at one of my previous jobs. Oh its NSFW put your headphones on.

The cleaning crew are going to have a hell of a time ridding the speakers office of the smell of arrogance once Nasty Nan is gone.
