So you gladly inflict yourself upon us when everyone would really prefer that you shut the fuck up, but when someone actually wants to know what you think, you clam up like a petulant 5-year-old?
By George, you’ve got it!
It must be summer break again. I wasn’t minding the Calendar as well as I should have been. Oh well, this too shall pass. Dismissed, young lad or lassie.
Ah, bless your heart.
Well, I’m curious what the ad was supposed to mean so I’ll ask, in a non-well-poisoning fashion, for a conservative to explain it to me.
My guess it was just Person X versus the CIA. Ooooooooooo, intrigue. Yet another dumb political ad. These ads almost always suck. They usually have ad guys with almost no talent doing these things. Add the lack of talent to no time and no budget for production and this is the nonsense you get. No doubt they were thrilled with themselves because they were able to make it look a little better than most by appropriating the Bond iconography.
Okay, what was it supposed to mean?
Well, the strategy seems to be to pit Pelosi against the CIA, and writ slightly larger, those who are there to protect us.
Given her statements, this has a chance of sticking. A bunch of Facebook friends I know in NY—all very liberal and big Obama fans—are calling for her head. I was quite surprised. (Though this was before the ad.)
She is not widely beloved the further left you get. Me, I just flat don’t like her, like I feel about Hillary. But as well as my visceral reaction (which counts for squat, or ought to), she and Hillary represent the triangulated, Clintonized, Republican Lite philosophy.
She is, by accounts, a very skilled politician and one to be feared if not loved. By comparison to Sen. Reid (D-Jellyspine), that’s a plus. That Pubbies hate her right down to her coral-toned toes, that’s another.
She’ll do, is all. And if she goes, we can elect Barney Frank Speaker. If for no other reason than to hear the heads explode like popcorn popping at max.
Most of the left wingers I know have disliked her for years.
Nancy Pelosi??? The United States Representative for essentially all of the City and County of San Francisco? The Nancy Pelosi who was Phil Burton’s protoge?? The Nancy Pelosi who was the party chair for the Democratic Party in Northern California?? The Nancy Pelosi who is and has been Barbara Boxer Lite??? The same Nancy Pelosi that got a rating of, what, 3 from the ACU??
The only reason anyone should think Nancy Pelosi isn’t fairly liberal is that she’s pursued a program of rational politics as a Democratic Party leader on the Hill. If a left-winger doesn’t like her for that reason, that’s just plain stupid. If she had espoused truly liberal positions at the expense of practicality all the time, she would never have made Speaker. As it is, she’s a heck of a lot more liberal than someone like Gephardt was. And between her and Di Fi, I know which is the moderate. :eek:
Just for giggles, what do you think the over/under is on whether the RNC failed to properly secure the rights to use the Bond imagery?
Strangely enough, that reply was pleasurable.
Leadership is, in fact, a different career path than leading.
This liberal is so far fairly disappointed with the demonstrated leftishness of Obama, Reid, and Pelosi.
Socialist? My rosy red ass.
I’m out of the loop. I never thought of pussy as being one of the most vulgar terms to refer to a whooha.
Odesio
Rolling over for Republicans is not so important as it once was.
That’s just bizarre. Pelosi Galore would at least have the tiniest shred of aural relevance, but it would still be stupid.
Y’know, my computer doesn’t do streaming video well, and I do Republican craziness worse, so please explain how equating Rep Pelosi with Ms Galore, whom I recall as a very attractive young lady with a flexible orientation, could be anything but complimentary, though inaccurate?
Pussy Galore was on the wrong side. That’s a bad thing. She changed. Change is also a bad thing.
They used the theme song too. I was surprised.
