She's secure in the knowledge that she's firmly in charge. She was still coming down off the drugs in that pic. They have to sedate her before shaving for the safety of western civilization. Heres a better one.

Forget "The Devil Wears Prada---the hot show in Washington is "The Shrew Adores Armani." In just a few short days, House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi has turned into a caricature of the shrill, petty woman boss. Armani-loving Pelosi demanded, in heavy-handed diva fashion, that House Democrats back her ethics-challenged antiwar crony, Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), as her chief deputy - acting as if she's the queen whose word must be law. But it all blew up in her face; Murtha lost 149-86 to Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), a onetime Pelosi rival whom she wants to keep squashed down......Pelosi's first move as House leader left her a big-time loser.
"She messed this up so badly, it's breathtaking. It raises real concerns about whether she can separate her personal issues from the issues of the Democratic caucus," says a veteran Democratic strategist. "It's not just the heavy-handedness, it's the clumsiness. There can be a stereotype of a woman as petty and personal - and she's now at real risk of creating that image for herself. She's reawakened all the old doubts about whether she is ideologically too liberal for this job, and added new ones as well."
The stereotype of the woman boss as a self-centered witch on wheels who'll run over anyone in her path has plenty of roots in American culture.........so if "Nancy Shrew" becomes the image of the highest-ranking woman ever in American politics - Pelosi will be second in line of succession to the presidency - it'll be a problem for all women politicos, including 2008 prospect Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.....
Pelosi's pushing pal Murtha forced The NY Times to belatedly acknowledge that the "culture of corruption" is bipartisan - not just a Republican evil, as Times news stories and editorials kept suggesting until the election.

Those are GREAT!!!
"The couple estimated their total assets to be worth $25 million to $102 million last year" -- that's quite an estimate.
Yeh, I sort of think Jane somewhat is hot.
Let's save that moniker for our one and only Bow Wow Boxer, the Chihuahua who wants to be a Pit Bull...
What cat isn't?
;-)
But I love them all.
LOL........"D.C." --- Dysfunctional Clowns
That's a cute one. She looks like she doesn't put up with much.
Why is this a surprise?
I still think Hildabeast and BelaPelosi will shred each other over the next 2 yrs.
That is something to look forward to. It would be so uplifting to watch.
Ginger is lovely, but you're right - up with much she will not put. And her definition of "much" is far stricter than most cats'.
All my female bosses have been great except for one and she was dumb as a bag of hammers. It's hard to overcome dumb.
.....I still think Hildabeast and BelaPelosi will shred each other over the next 2 yrs......
This could get very interesting.
Nancy, who has real accomplishments as a politician, thinks she is Prime Minister and already rules.
Hillary who glows only in reflected light has no real accomplishments. She would be President. Hillary would be second to the Prime Minister.
HaHaHa ha....it's going to be great.
Pelosi has the very real possibility of tanking Hillary's hopes in '08. After all, how many female, lefty, 60's retreads with nasal voices, whiny manners and b*tchy reputations can the body politic stand at one time?
Nancy probably never played team sports. If my daughter has learned anything from years of playing soccer it is you don't have to like Sally to work with her. It is a lesson that is serving her well as she moves into the workplace.
"just to give Pelosi some credit she has been a mother to five children."
And what does that have to do with the price of bananas?
Hitler loved dogs too.
She should sleep with both eyes open with that bunch she chose to hang around with.
She's secure in the knowledge that she's firmly in charge. She was still coming down off the drugs in that pic. They have to sedate her before shaving for the safety of western civilization. Heres a better one.
I'll see your betcha, and up you one more:
Betcha Hitlery knows too, and has plotted Pelosi's downfall already ;o)
