Exclusive: Nancy Crack Scorn, And She Don’t Care
It has been one dandy of a week for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. First, she tried to force feed an August ObamaCare vote on the House membership, which was unilaterally mocked and ridiculed. The majority of representatives decided they needed to utilize the summer recess to not read the obscenely lengthy bill. Then, she had the temerity to suggest that the Obama administration would tax certain plastic surgery procedures, including Nancy’s remedy de jour: BOTOX. Nancy Pelosi is going to tax BOTOX injections? That would be akin to having Ron Paul implement a tax on tin foil hats.
Throw in Pelosi’s claims that the evil CIA lied to her (and only her) during intelligence briefings, the photos of Tea party attendees declaring her the “Czar of Lies,” and the revelation that she was, in fact, responsible for Lance Armstrong not winning the Tour de France, and you have the makings of some very blustery days.
These recent missteps have cost Madame Speaker dearly in terms of popularity and credibility. Contrary to opinions inside the Beltway, the average American voter is not stupid – although it is conceivable that the Minnesotans who voted for Al Franken were suffering from cranial frostbite. The voters know a scam artist when they see one, and Nancy Pelosi is Washington, D.C.’s version of Michelangelo. The public, to their credit, is starting to paint her with a very unflattering brush – and the polls are reflecting that fact.
Now this may come as a complete and utter shock to the average American voter, but Pelosi couldn’t care less about what the “little people” think:
“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is one of the most despised political figures in the country.
And, frankly, she doesn’t give a damn.
‘No, I don’t care,’ Pelosi told POLITICO last Thursday, laughing heartily as she walked beneath the Capitol dome and plunged into a crowd of tourists.
Last week’s Public Strategies Inc./POLITICO poll brought grim news for Pelosi, revealing that only a quarter of Americans trust the San Francisco Democrat — putting her in the basement with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio).”
Wow, that is pretty exclusive company. If these trends continue, she will be seated next to the House commissary kitchen with that Triumvirate of Idiocy: Barney Frank, John Conyers, and Charlie Rangel. Those three knuckleheads are less popular than CNN reporter Candy Crowley at an all-you-can-eat buffet. That being said, Pelosi’s stone visage crumbled when she was asked about her trustworthiness, or lack thereof.
Mention of the “trust” question halted the click-clack of Pelosi’s heels against Rotunda marble, and she turned to face the reporter who posed the question.
“I don’t know about ‘trust’ — I think I’m trusted,” she said.
“I certainly want to be trusted. I’m not particularly concerned if I’m liked.”
Note to Speaker Medusa: You may want to be trusted. Heck, in the same vein, Olympia Snowe may want to be attractive. Sadly, neither of these wishes will ever come true. Pelosi needs to understand a basic truism of humanity: never eat the yellow snow. She also needs to understand this relevant truism of humanity: if you spend your life lying to people, said people will not trust you to throw you.
At this point in San Fran Nan’s less-than-distinguished career, the American electorate probably trusts Osama bin Laden, Hugo Chávez, and Vince, the ShamWow Guy (otherwise known as the new Axis of Evil) more than her. Don’t believe it? Millions of people spend their hard earned money buying the ShamWow and the Slap Chop. How many people are buying Nancy Pelosi’s line of bull? That diverse demographic can easily fit into one of those wind-up “Smart” cars. The fact that the Speaker thinks she is trustworthy is a testament to how out of touch the woman really is.
The simple truth here is that Nancy Pelosi is not concerned with her popularity because she is an ignorant, arrogant woman. In her younger, idyllic years, way back in the early 1800s, she probably came to Washington to serve both President Adams and the people she represents. Now, after the liberalism in her DNA combined with the corruption, she is a plastic BOTOX-ridden shell of her former self. And that shell would not cross the street to spit upon one of her constituents. A fine attitude to have if you just won a re-election campaign against a hardened political veteran like Cindy “Code Pinko” Sheehan, but sooner or later Pelosi is going to face someone who voters don’t want to throw off the Golden Gate Bridge.
And when that happens, Madame Speaker will wish she didn’t treat the “little people” like yesterday’s trash.
