That Lovin' Feeling

Nancy Pelosi's Botox smile slips to reveal the limousine liberal. Dana Milbank:

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."

Ooh, where's the love? (Next time Cindy wants to camp out at Bush's ranch will she defend W?) And who knew she could be so un-PC? Ah, but it's different when the liberal activist riff-raff affect her personally. And could the aging flower children elite in San Francisco be getting a little testy about the consequences of encouraging scofflaws for years?:

“Maybe there has been an epiphany,” says David Latterman, president of Fall Line Analytics, a local market research firm. “People have realized they can hate George Bush but still not want people crapping in their doorway.”

You've lost That Lovin' Feeling, Nancy...now it's gone, gone, gone.

P.S. Hey Nancy, maybe your protesters might soften their attitude with a spa treatment at your other place, Auberge du Soleil. (They probably could use a bath anyway) Or maybe the island your family is developing at some taxpayer expense.

P.P.S. Maybe if they were smoking something you could banish them from the open air.

UPDATE: The Politico on Pelosi's penchant for having meetings about meetings:

It’s not just the nature of the members and the party, but the agenda itself requires more meetings, said Frank. “We’re more activist than they are,” he said. “You need more meetings to say yes. The easiest thing to say is no.”

Difficult as it may be to say yes, a House GOP leadership aide said excessive meetings have led less to consensus and more to stagnation. “That explains why they can’t get anything done,” he said.
