Pelosi A Big Meanie, GOP Reps In Copenhagen Say

My Congresswoman makin me proud again!

Time's Runner Up Person of the Year

It can be foolish — maybe even dangerous — to underestimate Nancy Pelosi. A former stay-at-home mom of five who didn't run for public office until she was almost 47, Pelosi holds the highest post ever attained by any woman in U.S. history, and stands second in line of succession to the presidency. She has consolidated more power than any other Speaker in modern history, scholars of the office believe. In the first year of the Obama presidency, she has used that power — and an 81-seat Democratic majority, the largest either party has enjoyed in the House in 14 years — to pass every item on his agenda: health care, energy, regulatory reform, education, pay equity.

She is a fighter.

And after they've been so nice to her and such perfect models of comity and probity throughout this Congress.

Privileged White Republican Rich Men are the whiningest little bitches in the world. They dish it out constantly, hurl insults and invective, and yet the second somebody dishes back they go to pieces.

Actually, that's the script to just about every episode of Limbaugh's show.

Tough love man. I know it hurts, but your going to have to go out on your own someday and we can't keep sheltering you. I know the europeans hate you, and you are very far away from the astroturf teabaggers that do your organizing for you. But we love you, because we are liberals and we love everybody. Even fat greedy hypocritical spawns of satan like you. We will be rooting for you. Now.... go do it yourself!

Well duh, why should she aid the Rs in embarrassing the United States? One Inhofe was quite enough, thank you. They don't have such stupid politicians in other countries.

Articles like this are truly a waste of bandwith. They reveal pettiness on both sides of the aisle and a certain self-important disconnect from the real issues. Maybe TPM should rename itself GPM, substituting "gossip" for "talking".
