Pelosi: All You Freaks Get Off Of My Lawn!
2007-10-10
Heh...heh...heh...
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in a determinedly good mood when she sat down to lunch with reporters yesterday. She entered the room beaming and, over the course of an hour, smiled no fewer than 31 times and got off at least 23 laughs. But her spirits soured instantly when somebody asked about the anger of the Democratic "base" over her failure to end the war in Iraq.

"Look," she said, the chicken breast on her plate untouched. "I had, for five months, people sitting outside my home, going into my garden in San Francisco, angering neighbors, hanging their clothes from trees, building all kinds of things -- Buddhas? I don't know what they were -- couches, sofas, chairs, permanent living facilities on my front sidewalk."

Unsmilingly, she continued: "If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they would be arrested for loitering, but because they have 'Impeach Bush' across their chest, it's the First Amendment."

Though opposed to the war herself, Pelosi has for months been a target of an antiwar movement that believes she hasn't done enough. Cindy Sheehan has announced a symbolic challenge to Pelosi in California's 8th Congressional District. And the speaker is seething.

"We have to make responsible decisions in the Congress that are not driven by the dissatisfaction of anybody who wants the war to end tomorrow," Pelosi told the gathering at the Sofitel, arranged by the Christian Science Monitor. Though crediting activists for their "passion," Pelosi called it "a waste of time" for them to target Democrats. "They are advocates," she said. "We are leaders."

#16  California + OJ Effect > A Man found de facto not guilty of murder can be held or viewed as de facto "responsible" for said murder without being de facto called a murderer nor a de facto accomplice/accessory to de facto said murder, hence may publicly be punished as an alleged murder wid out being termed a murderer nor being imprisoned as a murder. Legally, OJ CANNOT BE CALLED A MURDERER NOR PUT IN JAIL BUT MAY BE PUNISHED via ASSETS CONFISCATION "AS IF" HE WAS = COULD/MIGHT BE.

OJ CASE IS GOOD CLINTONISM IS LEGAL TOTAL ANARCHY IS PUBLIC GOVT-SUPPOR/PROTECTED NEPOTISM aka SPECIAL INTERESTS/FAVORS, MAFIA-WARLORD-TRIBALIST STATE, POPULAR/NATIONAL CORRUPTIONISM, etc. CLINTONISM > D *** NG IT, I rely really Really REALLY R-E-A-L-L-Y RRRRRRRRREEEEEE
EEEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYY believed I told the truth when I knowingly, wilfully, and admittedly lied, misled, deceived, and defrauded you, etc. ERGO THE BURDEN IS ON YOU AND ONLY YOU TO PROVE MALICE AFORETHOUGHT EVEN AFTER I PUBLICLY ADMITTED TO DOING SO. Thus it does NOT matter that Saddamist Iraq = North Korea said or inferred they had WMDS, ITS FOR THE USA AND ONLY THE USA TO PROVE OR DISPROVE THE TRUTH-INTENTIONS OF THEIR OWN WORDS, e.g SADDAMIST IRAQ + NORTH KOREA ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN LYING NOR TRUTHFULNESS.

ANARCHY IN USA is GOOD [DOMESTIC/NATIONAL]SOCIALISM-GOVTISM + espec GOOD ANTI-US OWG.

#14  Nancy's having a rough time of late. If it's not moonbat protestors on the front law, it's whacked-out has-been celebrities stalking her and her husband. Do you know how hard it is to get a restraining order in California these days?

#13  It is not permissible to hound people on their private property. Thats what our official public institutions are there for. They should be arrested for disturbing the peace if they are doing this at a private residence.

No one has any respect anymore.

Wait, you would arrest the poor? I would expect you to hand them a check signed by Joe Taxpayer.

#8  My heart pumps piss. I'll bet she never counted on the fact that the only place a fuckwit like her could get elected required having a huge supply of these useful idiots on hand. Feel the love, Nancy.

#5  They finally figured out that you can't get elected on the 4% of voters that make up the lunatic fringe. The 4%, unfortunately, that also happen to yell the loudest and get the most air time.
