Pelosi's New Role: Wicked Witch of the West

A new campaign ad portrays Nancy Pelosi as the iconic baddie from "The Wizard of Oz."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has a new starring role as the Wicked Witch of the West.

John Dennis, her Republican opponent, has posted a web-only "Wizard of Oz" parody straight out of central casting. Dennis plays the hero. An actress portraying Pelosi stars as the witch. We, the taxpayers are Dorothy, the Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow.

After riding in on her private jet, a cackling Pelosi starts demanding tax dollars. Dennis, armed with a bucket of water, saves the day.

The long-shot Republican candidate posted the clip Sunday. By Monday afternoon, it had reached more than 56,000 hits.

It's fun to watch and will probably make you giggle, but it takes more than tapping your shoes together a couple times to make a comeback in this race.

This commercial may have more validity than we realize.

We are told, her district has a high propensity of gays. I had a gay friend that I used to work with and he would tell me of the Halloween Parties he attended, folks dressing up in elaborate costumes, many with old movie themes. Many gays are small businessmen and women. Do you think they will be happy with the "1099" mess coming soon? Could this commercial either by design or by accident potentially reach the gay community in SF via the movie tie in about what a loon their representative is, and what effect she is having on their financial (and other parts of their) lives?

Time will tell...

It's hardly a new role for her. Her party's favorite drink will do her in eventually.
