Pelosi Suggests Questions About Her Future Are SexistTop House Democrat wonders why Mitch McConnell wasn't asked about stepping down the way she has been. BY BILLY HOUSE

November 13, 2014 Nancy Pelosi on Thursday suggested that sexism plays a role in questions over whether she should remain House Minority Leader after her party's election shellacking last week.

"As a woman, is there a message here?" asked Pelosi, 74, at a Capitol news conference.

Pelosi challenged how many times reporters had asked that of soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 72, as his party failed previously to capture the Senate majority over three elections.

"When was the day that any of you said to Mitch McConnell when they lost the Senate three times in a row … aren't you getting a little old Mitch? Shouldn't you step aside?" asked Pelosi.

"Have any of you ever asked him that question?"

"So, I don't understand why that question should even come up," Pelosi said.

"OK now it's time for me to sing!!

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I'd go berzerk? Well, you left me anyhow and the days got worse and worse and now you see I've gone completely out of my mind.

And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time, and I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming to take me away ha ha

You thought it was joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said that losing you would make me flip my lid, right? You know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad.

And they're coming to take me away Ha Ha They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes They're coming to take me away ha ha...

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you paid me back for all my kind unselfish loving deeds. Huh? Well you just wait they'll find you yet, and when they do they'll put you in the ASPCA you mangy mutt.

And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy to see those nice men in their clean white coats

They're coming to take me away Ha Ha To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle thier thumbs and toes They're coming to take me away Ha Ha Ha

Your home the one the bank foreclosed, You cried to me Monogamy is the way we both must live or you'll feel hurt. But, I see, I see there's someone new, your anxious poly-pure-bred coat was even gone at our place while I paid the rent, thanks!

And They're coming to take me away Ha Ha They're coming to take me away ho ho he he ha ha To the loony bin with all you can eat perscription drugs like thorizine, and lithium, and electric shock and insulin They're coming to take me away Ha Ha"

She should claim age discrimination, not sexual.

Of course, it is the mark of the narcissist beast, never representing others, always oneself.

This is something we’ll be hearing a lot more about as women in leadership get, if you’ll pardon the expression, older. The agism-sexism perfecta.

Pelosi is bi-lingual ...

Primary language is new speak her secondary language is English

The more you listen to democrats, the more you should realize, though they make no proper English syntaxical sense, separated into components, there is a twisted logic to the whole damned thing.

That's how they can stand and speak, say absolutely nothing and get a standing O. ...

She is pretty as asexual as a human can be. The only fire that’s been between those legs is when her pantyhose catch fire from friction.

She can't help it if she's a sex symbol.

Quite revealing, as I recall W being overly gracious to her gender during his first State of the Union when she sat there.

He could not have been more gentlemanly. Recorded audio from her following had absolutely nothing kind to say in reciprocation.

Reveals how shallow that feeble mind actually is, or, perhaps, how evil.
