Pelosi Must Go
January 29th, 2010 - 7:56 am
I was ready — reluctantly so, but still — to write off the big, expensive Congressional delegation to Copenhagen as “just another junket.”
But Dan Collins reports that part of the $100,000 in-flight bar-tab was for Nancy Pelosi’s… Corona.
Pricy junkets are one thing. Spending that kind of coin on bad booze is unforgivable.
Corona? What’s wrong with American beer, Nancy? She’s unpatriotter!
How much of $100,000 could possibly be attributed to Corona? Maybe she needed 3 whole limes for each one to choke it down?
There’s absolutely nothing that I like about Auntie Nasty Pelosi and I’m not ready to give her a pass about anything. When you look in the dictionary for a definition of the term “term limits” there should be a picture of Nasty next to it.
PJay, it’s not the amount spent on Corona that’s the issue, it’s that anything was spent on Corona.
I’m with Steve. With so much good Mexican beer to choose from, what the hell was Corona even doing on that flight?
For that crowd, I’d say Corona is perfectly appropriate. As for the rest of the booze, I bet they used Kool-aid as a mixer.
Saying Pelosi must go sounds great, and I’m solidly behind the idea, but she represents Moonbat Central and thus is probably the safest member of Congress in terms of re-elections.
In her last election, Cindy Sheehan ran against her, claiming that Nancy was too “Right Wing” because she didn’t oppose the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan enough.
Not only did Pelosi win in a landslide, but Sheehan had a tire slashed on her campaign van for daring to oppose “She who rides 3 floats ahead of the NAMBLA entry in the Gay Pride Parade.” (http://eclipseweb.blogspot.com/2007/07/attempted-murder-or-standard-democrat.html)
The late Senator Edward Kennedy’s ghost writer explained the “Pelosi Problem” back in 1968, in the book “Decisions for a Decade”:
If a legislator is “safe” from competition, or if he represents groups with the same economic and political beliefs, he does not have to change his ideas or respond to the needs of the broader population. He can rest content with a mediocre, absentee performance knowing he will be returned to office. And as he is returned year after year the seniority system gives him immense control over people from other parts of the country whose views he need not heed at all.

That Ted Kennedy became the drunken poster child for this concept is left as an example of the blindingly obvious.
