Nancy Pelosi, Baghdad Bob in Drag?

You tell me. Listen to Nancy Pelosi’s delusional spin.

Then check this out.

Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the most out of touch with reality?

    Pelosi dismisses Dem losses in Virginia and New Jersey

    Most House Democrats tried to put a good face on Tuesday’s election results, saying they picked up two more votes for a sweeping health care bill that could be on the floor as early as Friday.

    But it can’t make it any easier for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she works to corral the last holdouts she needs to pass legislation overhauling the nation’s health care system.

    Of course, the speaker, who told POLITICO recently she’s “not big on showing weakness,” brushed aside questions about how the Democratic gubernatorial losses in Virginia and New Jersey would impact her final tally and instead trumpeted the two special election House wins.

    “From our perspective, we won last night,” the California Democrat told reporters during a Wednesday photo op. “We had one race that we were engaged in, it was in northern New York, it was a race where a Republican has held the seat since the Civil War. And we won that seat. So, from our standpoint, no, a candidate was victorious who supports health care reform, and his remarks last night said this was a victory for health care reform and other initiatives for the American people.”

    “From our standpoint, we picked up votes last night,” a cheerful Pelosi said, “one in California and one in New York.”

      I think the botex is affecting her brain. She didn’t pick up the 10th. That was vacated by Tauscher.

      For someone who is “not big on showing weakness,” she shows a lot of it … between the ears.

    Regarding NY-23,

    no one seems to be discussing the fact that this election only covers the
    one year,
    the time left over from a previous elected’s term.

    Owens will have to run for this seat again in 2010, and I am not alone in hoping Hoffman will remain on board.

      Re: NY 23

      The former Republican congressman who had this seat is the new Secretary of the Army.

    Methinks Nancy missed the forest for the trees.

    Is there anything to the rumor of botox caused dementia?

    • Lana

      Ha! Buzz, I was thinking almost the same thing. I’d like whatever reality-altering drug she’s on, but I’m afraid of what it might to do my lips. Side effect?

  • Ladydawnelle

    it must have something to do with the “position” because Hillary acts JUST like HASTERT to me! (totally complicit, totally enabling, willing to lie, pompous, selfish & blind)

    must be the position (was TIP like that?)

    • Ladydawnelle

      dang I meant NANCY not HILLARY!! I was just ranting about Hillary (in her defense) on another thread! Whoa oops!
      never Hillary

      • Katmoon

        Hahha Lady, its ok, I reversed one of my last posts too, must catching this evening. ROFL

        • Ladydawnelle

          getting OLD (can’t carry two thoughts on two threads and put ANY UOOOMPH in them both and not get dizzy)

          LOL – I really do love the release this place affords but I just can’t do it like I could when I was a youngin.

          I was a multi task QUEEN YO! :-D

  • lphillips

    I still can’t shake the feeling that this election in New York was stolen by invalid votes.

    • FranSC

      Iphillips, you better believe if B0 & Co tapped the NY 23 repub congressman to be Sec of the Army, they took over his replacement – part of the deal. The repub replacement candidate has been a repub a short time so they first tried to camouflage a dem as a repub when Palin, Palenty and others would not have it. But the problem was/is it is almost impossible for an independent to win an election without the benefit of straight-party voters, traditionally a predictable percentage. The dems got that right in NY 23, but the spin of ‘we won a seat that has not had a dem since the Civil War’ is truly laughable. The fakeness of this admin is reprehensible.

  • Ferd Berfle

    In Baghdad Bob’s defense, he probably had a gun at his back. Nancy is just an i d i o t or else is entering her second childhood.

  • Onofre’s arm

    I can’t help it, everytime I watch Nazi Pelosi I’m reminded of this:

    Creepy, huh?

    • Ladydawnelle

      roflol – ok quit makin me laugh
      Nancy has some redeeming qualities. For a Washington Pol. Somewhere, in there. I hate dissing women. We have enough obstacles. Although I am sorry for her delusional state. They say it’s that damn bubble up there. (lol)

      • Ferd Berfle

        Nancy has some redeeming qualities.

        She keeps the cosmetics industry afloat all by herself?

        • Ladydawnelle

          too many stops at the local herb shop

          • Ferd Berfle

            ROFL.

    • Katmoon

      Ohh that is scary!

    • Lana

      Oh my gosh, the similarities are too eerie. That’s a creepy clip!

      • Onofre’s arm

        If you liked that, here’s Obama in one of his more candid moments. (Perhaps in Joe the Plumbers driveway)

        Confession is good for the soul, so they say!

        (the picture quality here isn’t great, but the movie was breathtaking, and Aaron’s confession gives me chills to the bone everytime I watch it. And it ALWAYS is a reminder to me of what I know to be Obama’s wicked potential)

        • TeakWoodKite

          One interesting difference. Aaron was not indifferent.

          • Onofre’s arm

            I think Obama’s cool indifference is just an act diguising seething, petulant rage. Narcissists crave attention, yet the more attention they get, the harder they have to work to maintain the false image they’ve created of themselves, until the job of constantly managing a false public image becomes too great, then the whole fragile structure collapses. When, not if, this happens to the POTUS, better run for the high ground.

    The Actual Bad Sign for Democrats

    Ben Adler
    Newsweek,
    Nov. 4, 2009

    Unlike the New York City mayoral, or the Virginia governor’s race, there is a really bad sign for Democrats out of the East Coast. Via The New York Times, Republicans made inroads in New York’s suburbs. “In Westchester County, where Democrats have a solid advantage in voter registration, a Republican challenger, Rob Astorino, upset the incumbent Democratic County Executive, Andrew Spano, who was seeking his fourth term … In Nassau County, Republicans recaptured the county legislature, and have come close to unseating the Democratic County Executive, Thomas R. Suozzi, in a race that remained too close to call on Wednesday morning.”

    Why does this matter so much? Because the New York suburbs epitomize the new Blue America. Twenty-some-odd years ago, the economically diverse, but generally affluent, suburbs in Westchester and Long Island represented the success of the Reagan Revolution. White ethnics, often Catholic, whose parents had lived in the city and voted Democratic, were turning to Republicans for lower taxes, strong national security, and traditional family values. But the New York suburbs led the way back to Democratic dominance, arguably presaging the Obama coalition. Pro-gun-control candidates such as Rep. Carolyn McCarthy from Long Island started picked up seats in the 1990s. Growing diversity and concerns about education in the postindustrial economy helped lead to Democratic inroads in local races.

    During the Democrats most recent identity crises, after they lost the 2004 election, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer wrote a whole book about how Democrats can and should appeal to voters like the ones in the New York suburbs. He knows just how important they are: traditionally in New York politics, the city votes heavily Democratic and upstate favors Republicans. The suburbs decide elections.

    • ImaLindatoo

      No no no, we must all be wrong, surely Bagdad Pelosi must be correct. :)

  • Seriously Sick of Obama

    Well..the policy of this IMMATURE MAN-CHILD’S agenda is to DENY..DELAY..DISTRACT…then repeat the three D’s until know one knows what the hell they are talking about..It’s been there MO since his campaign began! NancyPee is just following the rules of the three D’s!!

    This is all due to the Blame game they can no longer use bc it no longer works bc he is now the ManChildInChief..he owns it now as the article by Peggy N. said!

    PS…LJ…this post is so funny, yet so sad that she can’t even admit the truth!

  • Tricia Spiegel

    I saw that also. What is she smoking? That NY race was a nutty deal, but VA and NJ were clear defeats. I wonder what they say when they are all by themselves???

  • SJ

    Oh geez, they got their clocked cleaned and they still cant admit it, now they are even boasting they are 2-0 against Palin. *LOL*

    Exactly what was it that Palin run for again I must of missed that information. *LOL*

  • ImaLindatoo

    rofl OMG, the Democrats just want to make sure you know they are so full of it and that they indeed LIE at the drop of a hat.

    …in drag, I knew he looked familiar!

  • http://! stodgie

    i’ll never use botox. see what it does?

    • ImaLindatoo

      lol

  • Peggy Sue

    Nancy needs a new acting coach. Her enthusiasm is painful to watch.

    Btw, I picked up an interesting tidbit on Bill Owens, the candidate that kept the Dems from being completely trounced last night. I’d heard that Owens was a “moderate” Dem. Turns out he wasn’t a Dem at all before August of this year. He was a moderate to conservative Indie before this election.

    Here’s a few quotes:

    “My beliefs and principles are essentially Democratic beliefs and principles, and what label you want to slide on me I don’t think is necessarily appropriate.”

    Well, gee. That sounds like me and I’ve been told a thousand times I’m not a “real” Dem.

    And on health care:

    Owens took a decidedly moderate line on health care restructuring, saying he does not support a public option available to anyone–the crux of the restructuring put forward by President Obama.

    and,

    “The bill that I would vote for would have a couple of elements to it. It would cover the uninsured, it would eliminate the ability to exclude for a pre-existing condition, and also that focuses on cost-reduction.”

    Hey, I could vote “yes” on that, too.

    So, let the progs keep telling themselves what a fantastic “win” this was.

    They voted in a fiscal conservative.

    Like me!!

    Hahahaha.

    • elaine

      Just because there’s a mandate against exclusion for pre-existing conditions doesn’t mean quotes won’t come in for premium payments of thousands of dollars a month just like they do now. The more money the gov throws at a problem the more the problem costs. Who knows what’s in that bill? They’re taking 450 to 500 BILLION dollars out of Medicare & adding 30 million new enrollees, probably 50 million more since they’re lying about not covering illegals. One 14th amendment lawsuit & they’re in for free. Peggy Sue is correct about Nancy needing a new acting coach, her gestures never seem to line up with her words & the affectation is getting more exaggerated by the day

      • Peggy Sue

        I agree, elaine. But Owens’ stance is a far cry from the progressive slant. That’s why it’s no real victory for the progs, despute what they say.

        And if they push the public option through, it doesn’t matter what the bill says–the 14th Amendment under the Equal Protection Clause will shoehorn illegal immigrants in. There’s precedent for it, and Nancy and her crew knows it. I’m sure Obama knows it, too. But, I suspect, most Americans do not.

        We’re being lied to with absolute impunity. We need reform in healthcare to bring down the escalating costs and extend decent coverage to our citizens. The cost is crippling businesses and people are suffering when denied coverage.

        But I have no faith in this Congress. They will try to jam something, anything through just to get a bill passed. But it won’t be for the benefit of the American public. Ultimately, it will be a face-saving effort for the Party and Barack Obama.

        Infuriating!

      • Onofre’s arm

        Elaine, Nazi Pee doesn’t need acting lessons, look at the link I’ve posted upthread. She makes Gloria Swanson look like a novice, that is of course if she’s attempting to portray a lunatic.

  • MBC

    Thanks for the tidbits, Peggy Sue.

  • http://www.lesstalkmoreactivism.blogspot.com whoframedrudy

    After NJ & VA, she thinks there’s 60 votes in the Senate for a public option? Is she nuts?

  • ACPD

    I lived in the 23rd District of NY for many years. I will bet anyone that if the moderate Republican had remained in the race, there still would be a Republican in that seat. The area is filled with what we used to call “Rockefeller Republicans”–now known as “moderate Republicans.” What I think this election demonstrated is that Americans don’t want to support either extreme in either party. The far Right and the far Left will not get support. (BO was a celebrity pick…not a political one.) That’s why so many of us have left one party or the other and call ourselves Independents. We want the children and their childishness to go fight in a corner while we adults met in the center to work out our differences….

  • Portia Elizabeth

    I had to ask myself if dear Nan was lying or just woefully ignorant when she made the statement that Repubs had held that seat “since the Civil War”. That war ended almost 150 years ago.

    Oh wait. Maybe she just doesn’t remember things from her childhood.

  • Sassy

    I feel no compunction to defend Pelosi because of gender, and she has proven to be a major disappointment as Speaker.
    Appearances are deceiving, she is reportedly a cursing viper when riled.
    Now, she plans to grand-stand this health care destruction bill on Saturday. How Hollywood!
    I watched part of the U.S.S. New York presentation on Fox this morning. What a contrast to see patriotic professionals interviewed, as opposed to the lame-brains who are in control of this country!

  • JustSaying

    Nancy or…as you just referred to her, “Baghdad Bob”..I loved that, laughed out loud on that one..
    Anywho, she made the statement that a Democrat has not held this seat since 1857…this woman is a serious “serialliar”…big time…A Congressman by the name of Michael R. McNulty (D) held this seat from 1989 to 1993…he replaced Congressman Statton who resigned because of sickenss. McNulty did (2) additional terms representing R23 before redistricting. I am so sick of this woman’s lies..I think we need to put a “Fast Checker” on the Speaker of the House..lol.

    these people followed McNulty
    Michael R. McNulty Democratic 1989 – 1993
    Sherwood Boehlert Republican 1993 – 2003
    John M. McHugh Republican 2003 – 2009
