House Democrats are fuming now that Cynthia McKinney's police assault case has stolen the spotlight from Republican troublles on Capitol Hill - and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is reportedly so mad at McKinney that she's no longer speaking to the Georgia Democrat.

"There’s been a lot of eye-rolling,” an aide to a moderate Democrat told the Hill newspaper on Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. "The national attention it’s been getting has been unfortunate. It’s becoming a distraction.”

A Democratic strategist told the paper that McKinney's attempt to charge the police with racism is sure the backfire.

"This isn’t the view of Democrats that we want to project in the tough races, one of victims and race-baiting,” the strategist said.

Rep. McKinney and Rep. Pelosi "no longer speak" to each other, the Hill reports - "not even to exchange greetings when encountering each other in the Capitol hallways."

Even before McKinney's latest meltdown, Pelosi kept her distance.

Stretch is so mad, she popped open a new wrinkle.

Time for another stretching procedure.

Earth to Pelosi: the spotlight isn't on McKinney - we all know she's a nut. The spotlight is on Democrat Leadership [you] that insists blowing past a security checkpoint and striking an officer is "no big deal".

What was that Dem National Security Plan again?

H'mm. Let's imagine a private conversation between Pelosi and Hillary about the situation.

Do you think it would be PC?

"There's been a lot of eye-rolling ..."

Oh, my gosh, what a loaded statement. And with the eyes those two have ....

[bnelson44]

Keep it up.

Every week it has to be something new.

"This isn’t the view of Democrats that we want to project in the tough races, one of victims and race-baiting,” the strategist said.

So in other words, you don't want your image to reflect what it is you're actually doing. Typical DemonRat. Their problem isn't the message or agenda (or lack thereof), it's just a marketing problem. There's way too many people in government who "think" like this and that's why they just don't get it!

That picture is... disconcerting.

I hope she's so pissed off that she can't even see straight.

Exactly, Pelosi blew it big time when she said that. That's probably why she's so p***ed now.

Thank You

I'm HOPING McKinney is just getting warmed up ... she still needs to bring on Jesse Jackson, Reverend Al and Calypso Louie to show voters beyond any shadow of a doubt that the Demonrat Party is nothing more than a three-ring circus.

[Republican Wildcat]

Censure! Censure!

[Democratshavenobrains]

Too bad that child solicitating Homeland Press Secretary is going to get the Dems to blame Bush yet again.

[MinuteGal]

Now you did it, posting that horror picture of Bela Pelosi right before I'm going to retire for the night.

Now I have to to hang garlic on the bed so I don't have reoccurring nightmares of her face.

Pelousy can't see straight normally.

"Straight" is not in the DIMRAT'S dictionary.

CROOCKED
"GAY"
PERVERTED
CORRUPT
DECEPTIVE
TRAITOROUS
TWISTED
COLLUSION
PSYCHOTIC
PATHETIC
. . .

Those are DIMRAT dictionary words and habits.

One of the best and most promising things about this is, the more McKinney is in the spotlight the greater the opportunity other blacks will have to contrast and compare her bone-headed juvenile antics to Condoleeza Rice's adroit, mature, and magnificently well-informed statesmanship.

At some point, the lesson has GOT to sink in.

To slap terrorists with cell phones....
