It was the same joyless perma-grin - really, a grimace with upturned corners of the mouth - that came to define Pelosi during her four years in charge of the House: an expression meant to connote her warmth and sincerity that too often conveyed the opposite...
...As speaker, her record was mixed. She had many major legislative achievements, particularly in the past two years, but she also led her caucus off an electoral cliff, in part because she forced members to take damaging votes on policies that didn't have a chance of passing the Senate.In her four years as minority leader, by contrast, Pelosi's effectiveness was seldom questioned as she tripped up the majority with her relentless opposition. "If people are ripping your face off," she said before winning the majority in 2006, "you have to rip their face off."
Curious choice of metaphors.
With all the work that's been done over the years, that perma-grin may be cemented on for life.
Boehner is a better man than I. I would have buried that gavel square center in that plasticine cakehole and showed the world the evil electronic cyborg which lives within.
ReplyDeleteHe's not emotional, he's emotionally unstable.
ReplyDeleteWhile he may be over emotional, I believe his intellect and motivations are solid.
ReplyDeleteCan't say that for the witch.

Definitely part of the undead
Thank goodness for the removal of the disastrous Democratic Partisan nightmare named Nancy as Speaker.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all the mighty ROSS readers and Mr. R.
The problem is, today these nutty Partisans still cannot grasp how bad their obsessive offering actually is for all.
Back in the day of the Carter Malaise, more folks were willing to recognize (at least a majority) the disastrous offering provided by these dangerous Democrats. But Democratic Partisans grew insecure and further insane - watching the Clinton Malfeasance, they turned to even bigger lies and more denial.
Today Democrats have made such a mess, the debasing of the Mortgage Industry, the massive Deficits, the enabling of dangerous Threats to the Free West, the encouraging Racial divides, etc., etc., etc., it grows hard to believe we can overcome the folly.
Especially difficult, is they still repeat the same garbage, even after they have left everything in such a mess, like NJ, LA, MI, CA, NY, etc.
Will we have a real intervention?
Will truth, justice, reason, etc., win the day?
We shall see...
