Negique with Large Gavel

“Not that Pelosi deserves kid gloves -- far from it. She, more even than President Obama, is the spirit of the age in which we live. It is her legislation, her attitudes, and her legacy on which we will vote a month from now. Her effect on the nation has been enormous. And while it's doubtful that even Moses could defeat her in California's 8th district (maybe especially not Moses), her record deserves the right kind of scorn, not a cartoon. […] Under her leadership, the House passed a devastatingly wasteful, bureaucratic nightmare of a health care reform (later scrapped in favor of the Senate version). The final legislation aggravates every problem with our existing health care system (excessive bureaucracy, third-party payer incentives, costly insurance mandates, lack of competition) and adds new burdens and mandates of dubious legality. In her defense, the speaker probably hasn't read it. After all, she argued that the Congress would "have to pass the bill (to) find out what's in it." […] [S]he invested in natural gas because, "I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels," […] And last week, offering her beleaguered colleagues advice on how to win re-election as they limp out of Washington without having passed a budget or preserved the Bush tax cuts for anyone, she suggested her default tactic: "Now our challenge is to tattoo the practices of big insurance, big oil, big banks and the rest" onto Republicans. "And our members feel very good about doing that." What an epitaph.” [emphasis added]

How to scorn the activity of an arrogant clown without resorting to contemptuous cartooning: that is the question. In the unique case of Nancy Pelosi, the most ridiculous and contemptible national public-figure ever to raise a gavel, it is a monumentally tall order. I'll give it a shot.
This execrable creature slithered onto the national stage via a perfect-storm of insane coincidences, having the perfect profile for a Congressional member to represent the lunatics who vote in the American capital of lunacy — San Francisco:
- She is left of Lenin.
- She is stupid.
- She says stupid shit without flinching.
- She is arrogant.
- She can't even spell "irrational".
- She is vindictive.
- She has the IQ of soap.
- Used soap.
I could go on, of course, but what would be the point? November 2, 2010. Bring it.
