The role of Democratic Bad Ass will be played by a woman . . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . Nancy Pelosi.

Now essentially powerless, she will be the mouthpiece of the left, providing the needed appearance that hope and change remain possible.

I support this because it is the closest we will ever come to actually getting hope and change.

1. Looks like you are correct.

[MannyGoldstein]

2. She can help stop Obama's Catfood Commission Agenda

At least Pelosi and the Democrats can block Obama's attacks on working America as he works with the Republicans. At least I sure hope so.

3. The MSM has carried republican water in demonizing her ...

from day one, she might as well go all in with it ...

[CTyankee]

6. I truly believe that she just doesn't take it personally.

If you don't take insults personally, then there's not much they can throw at you by name-calling.

[Cosmocat]

7. Yeah ...

I agree, she clearly is not put off by it ...

I think it is more about the democratic "brand" than anything ... Helps to stoke their mysoginistic BS, too, in hand with the race baiting with the president ...

4. K&R We need her more than ever agaisnt the "NO We Can" group! n/t

5. the more time goes by

the more i love her.

though as another poster mentioned, i'm still pissed that she declared impeachment off the table. we should have impeached gw and cheney. we really should have done that.

[CTyankee]

8. My take on it is that she weighed the pros and cons of impeachment and

figured out that she would spend a lot of time fighting and wind up losing, when she could devote herself to more productive fighting and winning...we are down to brass tacks now with economic issues that crucially affect ordinary Americans lives.

I think LOTS of Americans know that bush and cheney were guilty, but in our system you really can't get blood from a stone...

11. I tend to agree. We were already in crisis mode and that would have

stymied more productive action.

I'm disappointed, but I think she was looking forward, not back.

[Still a Democrat]

9. Your post implies it should be played by a man

The man won't do the tough stuff, so a woman is forced to do so, when she really shouldn't?

BTW, Pelosi hasn't said anything Obama hasn't, and she'll be involved in compromising and negotiating as well. She never said she wouldn't look to cut a deal.

13. You don't know our clown well, do you? He's as unmisogynistic

as you'll find on this board.

He was using irony to make a point, get it?

[Still a Democrat]

15. Oops

Thanks for the clue in.

[meow mix]

10. k&r

glad we have her

[SaveAmerica]

12. I thought this when I read yesterday's comment from her

She's been standing up for us and what we fought for in '08.

[blondeatlast]

14. That she's kicking ass now, especially, is really impressive. May she

continue to piss 'em off for a long, long, LOOOONG time.
