Pelosi Communes With The Spirits

Lately, big time Democratic women power players seem to do more channeling of the spirits than Shirley MacLaine. Not that long ago we were treated to Hillary Clinton conversing with the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt. Not to be outdone, Nancy Pelosi is seeing (and feeling) spirits all over the place. If you have been wondering why she makes all those herky-jerky movements she does when trying to explain her disjointed thoughts, now you know why.

Now this is no imaginary interpretation of a brief unexplained “feeling.” We've all had those. Nancy with the Wild Eyes went into great detail describing her communion with the spirits. She first felt the presence of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul at the White House. She says that “my chair was getting crowded in and I couldn't figure out what it was, it was like this (demonstrates).” Most people would attribute that to a girdle failure, but not Nancy.

Not satisfied with the early roll call, Pelosi added Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul and Sojourner Truth to the ever-filling chair on which she sat. Though the videotape only recently emerged, the revelations occurred at a meeting of the Women's Political Committee this past May. The communion occurred during Pelosi's first visit to the White House during the Bush administration when she had just become the House Speaker.

Her descriptions of the event (including the above-mentioned herky-jerky hand waving) continued. “I swear this happened, never happened before, it never happened since. Then I realized they were all in that chair, they were—more than I named.” The vision included Bush appearing (also as a spirit, but not in the chair—it was getting too crowded) “saying something to the effect of we're so glad to welcome you here, congratulations and I know you'll probably have some different things to say about what is going on—which is correct.” At that point, apparently Bush took a powder and slowly faded away.

She then heard the spirits saying “at last we have a seat at the table.” And according to Pelosi, “then they were gone.” She has apparently told this tale before, but this time it was videotaped. I knew that botox could be a deadly pathogen, but this is the first time I've heard of it being a major hallucinogenic. There's more to the treatment than just a permanent fixed smile and permanently-surprised eyebrows.

Now I want all of you to put on your imagination hats. Imagine that a story like this were being told by Ann Romney, Condoleeza Rice, or any other prominent Republican woman. The mainstream would be full of stories about how they need straight-jackets. Bill Maher would be doing b-word and c-word jokes about the crazed women of the right. Jon Stewart would be smirking until his face hurt. MSNBC might even bring back Keith Olbermann for the big event. Chris Matthews would be feeling a thrill going up his leg exceeded only by the one he felt when he discovered that Obama was the messiah.

But the mainstream media will continue to celebrate Nancy Pelosi's vision while burying her visions. Remember how they eviscerated Nancy Reagan (the good Nancy) for merely consulting an astrologer. Instead of a place in the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi should be a distinguished professor at the Laughing Academy with her own expensively-decorated rubber room.

LawHawk,

I guess botox is dangerous.

You see characters like Pelosi turn up in positions of power when civilizations are dying. The fact that the Democrats elected her speaker as well as minority leader is an eloquent statement about how far the Democratic party as fallen.

Maybe the spirits told her that Harry Reid was telling the truth?

Now we can state it without prejudice....."These ass clowns are certifiable"

Media and media hacks?...................crickets.................

Well, LawHawk, I was talking to all those women recently. You know, Susan B., Alice P., and Lizzy CS, and they were not as thrilled with Nancy as they thought they'd be. As a matter of fact, they told me that since appearing with her at the WH, they've become really, really embarrassed and THAT'S why they haven't visited her again...

tryanmax said...

Usually when one is crowded by so many spirits at once, they announce themselves as "Legion." Just sayin'.

P.S. What with all the Police songs flying about yesterday, this article just begs for this: LINK

Anthony said...

Bev and tryanmax,

That is hilarious.

The only spirit I'd beleive would visit Nancy P is Lucretia Borgia. Only out of professional respoect of course.

K said...

Hawk:LOL.

AndrewPrice said...

I remember then blasting Nancy Reagan for years over her belief in astrology. I'm not even sure how real that was, but the MSM tried to make it sound like Reagan was getting his palm read before any decision.

StanH said...

Now you’re just being mean Lawhawk. You know Nancy doesn’t have any real friends. We must indulge the crazy bat’s delusions with sympathy, and concern. However, since she’s now flipping out in public, and in the name of compassion, perhaps it would be best to have a little electro shock therapy, or even a frontal lobotomy, that should tamp down on the blithering, and her imaginary friends. Finally in the name of compassion and camaraderie when we fire Barry he should go and hold her hand at the booby hatch to show thanks for her efforts.

LawHawk - I've spoken to Carrie Nation too. San Fran Nan drove her to drink...

The kids in day care are too mature to be slandered by associating them with Washington

StanH said...

Daycare. Definitly daycare…ha.

Joel Farnham said...

LawHawk,

Why couldn't Nancy commune with her spirits and ask them what was in the ObamaCare bill? ;-)

I think Nancy P brings this up because Obama is losing women right and left in the polls. If so, then What makes her think women in the United States care what the old suffragettes say now?

tryanmax said...

Just occurred to me: doesn't the Democrat Party already give the deceased a seat at the table? I mean, that is one of their core voting demographics, after all.

Joel Farnham said...

Off Topic but it is too good not to share.

Paul A. Rahe proffers this article on a gut feeling.

I have book marked it so I can go back when ever I see a new Poll about Obama.

Joel Farnham said...

LawHawk,

At least your contributions are more along the lines, "Look at Obama and company have done and are doing." Some of the punditry still are trying to win the primaries with their special needs candidate. Usually by over-reacting to a supposed gaffe or what some spokesman mentioned.

Also, I submit to you, that I prefer that we think of this as a cliff hanger instead of having it all wrapped up. That way we don't become complacent.

I also agree on the three things the author suggested. I am seeing some signs of that, but as usual our side is playing it down.

Su Wei said...

Heh. The only spirits she's likely to be communing with are those that are found in a bottle.

BevfromNYC said...

LawHawk - At this point, I think this is going to be cliffhanger too. But things will begin to gel once Romney announcing his running mate and after the Repub convention. Then he will actually start running in earnest. People will finally get to see Mitt in full Presidential mode. He will get a huge bump and hopefully he can sustain it through to November. That's my prediction anyway. I'm not sure many are that interested in the Dem Convention except maybe Sandra Fluke.

So the next big hurdle will be the VP pick...

tryanmax said...

Great article, Joel. One important thing to remember that the author hinted at is that, relatively speaking, it's still early in this election. We are big on all this political stuff, but I suspect Romney is saving the big guns for after the convention, when everybody is paying attention. In the meantime--and he's doing this well--he's drawing Obama's fire and ire and fending it off marvelously.

The political bulldogs want teeth and blood, and they bemoan Romney not giving it to them, but it's still too soon. Besides, if Mitt were the wimp they say he is, he would have turned over those tax returns. But he didn't.

I'm also willing to speculate that he will hold onto his VP nom until as close to the convention as possible, maybe even announcing it there. He's more of a showman than people are giving him credit for. He's just not erecting pillars and putting reverb on the mic like a certain other candidate.

Lost Comments

Folks, we have lost Larry's comments again and Kit's (30 total). Larry apologizes for the loss and wants you to know there is nothing he can do.

However, let me suggest that people try to stop posting back to back and definitely back-back-back comments, especially if you're posting links.

Also, if your comment vanishes into the spam filter, please don't try to keep re-posting the same thing. You'll only antagonize the spam filter and it will wipe out all your comments.

Tam said...

It looks like Paul Ryan is going to be the VP...I'm torn.

tryanmax said...

Well, no sooner do I speculate than I am wrong. Oh well! :-)

Tam, I am torn, as well. I would like Ryan to stay in Congress, but I really have no complaints about the guy. I think Romney and Ryan on the same ticket will really drive home the fact that these guys want to fix the economy.

On that note, I think this speeds up the timeline on how soon the media--both left and right--suddenly realize that the Ryan Budget is about the same as Bowles-Simpson. This will give the right reason to attack him and will give the left reason to take credit for whatever success the plan has. Super double bonus points all around if they happen to remember that Alice Rivlin had her hands on it at one point.
