It's a question many are asking. And we'll provide an explanation for those in the Bay Area in a moment.
But for all Americans, "What the hell is wrong with Nancy?"
For those who don't know, Pelosi is Speaker of the House. She's not just a member of Congress, she leads the House. She does that because the Democratic Party controls the House and they picked her to represent all of America.
So it may have come as a shock last week when, speaking with reporters and the editorial board of The San Francisco Chronicle, Pelosi declared (a) there is no racism in San Francisco (her home) but the Democratic voters of Kentucky are racists. Where does the Speaker of the House, a Democrat, get off insulting an entire state with a smear?
In better times, you'd have people calling for her resignation (they should).
But Fancy Nancy thinks she's sitting pretty.
She's actually not and C.I. got several phone calls last week asking if Nancy Pelosi had plastic surgery. "I thought," C.I. explained, "they meant in the past and the nose does look like a nose job. But they were asking if she'd had a face lift or face work recently? No. She hasn't had the time. What appears to be happening -- because her face is taking on a bizarre shape -- is that she's not taking hormones. No one thought she had that voice normally, did they? Listen to her speak lately. The voice is different, the face appears to be swelling at the from the cheek bone to under the eye, it seems hormones have stopped and natural ones stopped with the change sometime ago."
Is that what it is? When the calls started coming in, we made a note to check out some recent photos. We found several from last week and she looks like a bag lady. The hair's unkempt and the face really is widening before your eyes.
She's been so busy lately, trying to steal the nomination for Barack Obama.
She told The San Francisco Chronicle if the nomination was not settled by the end of the primaries (that would be this Tuesday), she is stepping in?
Settled? How could it be settled? Neither Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama will have been awarded the needed number of pledged delegates to be considered the nominee -- super delegates only vote at the convention.
What Nancy's proposing is stealing the nomination to avoid allowing the delegates to the Democratic convention, sent there by their states, to vote in a democratic manner. She's proposing that the democratic process be trashed.
This woman is Speaker of the House?
Nancy has a small window of time to thwart the process. By the end of this month, it's to the convention all the way. But she believes she can exercise some backdoor (and unwritten) power to prevent that.
This woman is Speaker of the House?
For now she is. But Fancy Nancy might want to grasp that she who never called out sexism during the primary battle but booed and hissed at Hillary throughout could be the victim of the same sexism that has dogged Hillary.
Nancy, have you looked at Rahm Emanuel? Those attracted to men participating in the writing of this feature say, "Hubba-hubba!"
He's a good looking man, Nancy.
And check that out smile!
And he's young!
Nancy, you're so much old politics.
We're tired of the old politics.
We want change!
We want change and we want it now!
Nancy, you're old and tired and we want exciting and new.
See how it works, Nancy?
See how your past accomplishments (you don't have any recent ones, do you, Nancy?) can easily be used against you, your experience dismissed?
You're old. And, frankly, judging by last week's photos, you're now ugly. We want a cutie! We want Rahm!
What would that feel like Nancy?
Would you try to get sympathy?
We don't think you'd get any because you refused to call out this b.s. when it was targeting Hillary and because, frankly, you've burned all your bridges.
Those of us in the Bay Area, if we could draft someone to run instead of you, it would be Gavin Newsom. He's younger than you too. And he's better looking than you, Nancy. And, unlike you, he actually supports gay rights. You know, the rights you told 60 Minutes in October of 2006 that you had to move to center on.
Fancy Nancy, pudding pie, looked in the mirror and wanted to cry.
Sob, Nancy, there's not much of a future left for you. Doesn't feel so good when the pump's on the other foot, does it?
