What is it with morons wishing for the death of Speaker Pelosi?

Blue Dog Dem Bobby Bright of Alabama has raised this to a new level, joking to constitutents that Pelosi might “get sick and die” before he has to support her again for Speaker, a local reporter tells me.

The Montgomery Advertiser reports that Bright, who is under fire for supporting Pelosi for Speaker in the past, joked to some voters that Pelosi might fall ill and pass away. The Advertiser only paraphrased Bright’s remarks.

Seriously, I can’t think of anything specific about Speaker Pelosi that incites such rage. She’s your basic center-left Democrat. Oh wait. I know. It’s this “San Francisco values” label. Republican code language for “gay values.”

    Joked to constituents, who probably laughed right along with him. I hate republicans. I really do.

    my mistake…you identified him as a blue dog. Sigh. Guess I hate blue dog dems too! Guess I am a little sensitive when it comes to Speaker Pelose…Mother of 5, grandmother, classy, intelligent, not to mention extraordinarily beautiful.

    Hello! She’s a woman, and no woman should have that kind of power. We may have the vote, but I can vouch there’s still a whole lot of latent and not so latent misogyny out there. This guy’s from Arkansas, and they probably prefer to keep their women in the kitchen. That’s still the preference where I live, too.

    I think the explanation has more to do with the fact that she is an effective Speaker of the House, or just that she is the Speaker. It wouldn’t matter who was up there. If it’s a Democrat, they are going to attack with whatever slur works with the Republican base. In this case, it’s the anti-gay San Francisco values.

    Grandma knows best… Don’t eat this, Don’t do that. We need laws to tell us what we can do. Heil Pelosi!

    Yes, Alabama is where the real amurkins live. Seriously, this guy is a real piece of shit. The last thing a spineless blue dog would ever do is defend his party. These feckless, self loathing, inbreds should just switch parties and get the hell out of ours. I too think they hate Pelosi because she’s the most powerful woman in congress and they still can’t believe that anyone would hand that job to a woman.

    This blue dog is just playing along with the typical right wing/conservative tactic: demonize people. Don’t talk about the issues, just demonize certain Democratic politicians to the point that their face and their name causes instant Democratic resentment. You hear it on Fox 20 times a day; “The Reid/Pelosi Agenda”…. “The Obama/Pelosi Agenda”….And this really pisses me off. Because I try to get into a conversation with wingnuts, and once Mrs. Pelosi comes up, it’s game over. I can try and tell them how great of a national leader she is, and how much she fights for the middle class. But in the end, she is just “PELOSI” to them. And when I ask them what’s so bad about her, the can only scoff and sigh and say “Psshh, it’s NANCY PELOSI”

  • roxsteady

    You’re so right LukeB! The whole “Obama, Reid, Pelosi adgenda” thing just pisses me off too. You hear this from every Republican politician and strategist who comes on the cable shows. It’s both weak and predictable. She’s effective and it’s just killing these idiots!

  • roxsteady

    This is too funny. I just popped over to the plumline blog and saw the following headline.”Sharron Angle ad paints Obama-Reid-Pelosi as tragic love triangle.”Aparently, this crazy bitch has a new attack ad. Priceless!

    Well, she is a powerful woman that doesn’t have to flirt with men to get her way. That is sufficient to make many men hate her.

  • Red Pill

    Indulge me a moment of despair, but I think this country is fucked. We may well be living in the final days of the Roman Republic, in which our “representative” body seeks only self-preservation and personal enrichment at the expense of the body politic. Somewhere out there, I fear our Sulla awaits his/her window of opportunity.Mehlman’s “courageous” decision yesterday only confirms the notion that our leadership—regardless of party, I regret to report—sees all of this as nothing but a game. Our LIVES, their game. Jesus H.I welcome a shaft of light from all present.

    I don’t get the hate on Pelosi either. I think shes a good leader and… I’d hit it.Sorry couldn’t resist.

  • CanadaGoose

    1. She’s a woman.2. She’s a woman with power.3. She’s a woman with power who didn’t get it through screwing/marrying/being born to a rich and powerful man.But most of all.4. She’s a beautiful, powerful woman who takes no crap from the haters. In fact, barely acknowledges their wretched existence.

    Pelosium – the heaviest element known to sciencePosted by RickPublished: March 17, 2010 – 6:22 AMLocutisprime sends us the following in email:Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has now identified with certainty the heaviest element known to science.The new element, Pelosium (PL), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.Pelosium is inert, and has no charge and no magnetism. Nevertheless, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Pelosium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.Pelosium has a normal half-life of 2 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a biennial reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.Pelosium mass will increase over time, since each reorganization will promote many morons to become isodopes.This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.When catalyzed with money, Pelosium becomes Senatorium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Pelosium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.
