Nancy Pelosi: The Speaker from Fahrenheit 9/11?
Boston Globe/NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/03/2006 2:23:33 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

I was just beginning my read of Ellen Goodman's Boston Globe column today, which argues that Nancy Pelosi is being "demonized" and "used to frighten voters everywhere." Goodman gripes that, among other things, Pelosi is being depicted as a Michael Moore clone. By superb serendipity, at that very moment, Rush Limbaugh began a systematic catologuing of Pelosi's votes over the years proving that the possible Speaker-to-be is, well, a Michael Moore clone.

Rush cited this Washington Times editorial, noting that Pelosi:

Along the way, the Washington Times reports that she has earned a lifetime ADA rating of 96 percent. Last year, the American Conservative Union gave her a 0 rating. Her lifetime ACU rating is 3 percent.

Working title for the Pelosi bio pic: "Michael & Me".

Mark Finkelstein lives in Ithaca, NY. He will be reporting for MRC from Baghdad and Fallujah later this month.. Contact Mark at mark@gunhill.net

Hell. She scares me, and her voting record is only part of it.

Think Skull with Parchment pulled over it...

Which reminds me. Lumpy Riefenstahl was all over the place in '04, flogging his lying movie and campaigning for the Dems, sitting in Jimmy Carter's lap at the convention, etc. He hasn't made a single appearance that I know of this cycle. In fact, all the usual moonbat celebrities are remarkably quiet right now. Almost makes you think they've got orders from headquarters to shut up until next Wednesday.

Rush also noted that she claims to be a Catholic but consistently votes pro-abortion, even partial-birth abortion.

Nancy Pelosi uses her current position much like Michael Moore used the Oscar award years back: As a platform to promote personal ideology.

Mark Finkelstein is right about Pelosi and Moore being twins separated at birth. Here's what Moore said after receiving his Oscar in 2003:

We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious President.

We -- We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons.

Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or the fictitious of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush.

Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you.

Compare these two the Pelosi rhetoric: Same as Moore's.

I must give credit for inventing the moniker Lumpy Riefenstahl to our fellow FReeper "Dead". It's really perfect for Moore.

I believe that if you compare her eyes to those of Charlie Manson, you'll note a remarkable--if not familial--resemblance...

An email I just received:

Next Tuesday, make sure you vote Republican on everything. Otherwise we could be stuck with Pelosi running the Senate, would according to her voting record would be a disaster:

Mrs. Pelosi is a Roman Catholic who has repeatedly voted to uphold partial-birth abortion (basically killing a full-size, healthy baby just before he is born by drilling into his little head and sucking out his brain). {I edited this to make it more accurate, which means it's more chilling.}

In 2003, Mrs. Pelosi opposed a $10 million program for school vouchers in the District of Columbia.

In 2003, Mrs. Pelosi voted against the 10-year $400 billion Medicare prescription-drug bill because she preferred one that was twice as expensive.
