The Dungeon at 1600 Pennsylvania

All Hail, King of the Democrats!

OK, Madame Speaker, let's not go overboard, here...I mean, we all know you wrote a book, but it did not exactly sell like the one from another famous author.

This is how Nancy Pelosi introduced The One this weekend at a fundraiser in the other city of brotherly love, which is juicing up the right-wingers on this beautiful Monday morning.

"...a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."

Hello, Dolly!

Our Dear Leader met another Dear Leader over in India yesterday.

With all the troubles going on in Tibet, it was a wonderful photo op for all involved.

This picture from the Times captured the moment in all its majesty.

This is rather like the Iran-Iraq war...Nancy Sheehan has announced that if Pelosi doesn't get off her little behind and push for the impeachment of Bush, she will stage a challenge for her seat.

The people of San Francisco shall reap what they sow.

"...The most honest, ethical, and open Congress in history."

These were the words of Madame Speaker not too long ago.

But the more things change....

Seems that it might take a woman to clean up some houses, but the one in the Capitol is a bit too dirty even for this big-mouthed broad from Baltimore via San Francisco!

Really, though, only the idiot is surprised that Dems are having trouble pushing through their promised measures for ethical reform (namely lobbying and campaign funding items).

Addendum: Predictably, the boys over at Redstate are all over this....

Pelosi's Party of the People

Tonight, Comrade Pelosi will be painting the town green. A little late for St. Patrick's Day, don't you think? The same woman who proudly told the San Francisco Chronicle last fall that she wanted to return power to the common man is hobnobbing with the blue bloods just like everyone else.

From today's ABC Note:

ABC News' Jake Tapper reports that tonight "at the posh Northern Virginia estate of local real estate magnate Albert Dwoskin, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will host one of its most expensive events in recent memory -- $28,500 per couple -- featuring access to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and 10 powerful House committee chairmen."
"The event will be one of the highest-dollar fundraisers since the McCain-Feingold campaign finance limits were enacted in 2002 and it opens Democrats -- who campaigned against the GOP's 'culture of corruption' last November -- to charges of hypocrisy," adds Tapper.
