Pelosi unplugged By: Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei September 19, 2013 08:57 PM EDT

Striking a tone of disgust, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi ridicules the GOP as obsessed with its loathing of President Obama and hell-bent on hurting him politically, regardless the cost. She assigns little to no blame to the president (even though Democrats privately say that’s laughable) and instead portrays him as saintly, above reproach and the victim of jealousy or something worse.

After 26 years in the House, she says, “I haven’t seen anything like it. I haven’t seen anything like it.”

Throughout a 50-minute interview on Thursday in her second-floor Capitol office, where the late Speaker Tip O’Neill used to receive supplicants, Pelosi was sharply derisive about the scorn Republicans have for this president.

“You know why it is,” she said. “You know why it is. He’s brilliant, … he thinks in a strategic way in how to get something done … and he’s completely eloquent. That’s a package that they don’t like.”

She sees echoes of the condescension many Republicans had for Bill Clinton: “They didn’t think he was one of them … because of his upbringing and his personal story of success … Although he had the Ivy League and the Georgetown education, he wasn’t rooted where most of the former presidents came from.”

I wonder what the angle is here - why is the moonbat barking for 50 minutes I wonder? What’s the deal with that?

Then it is certainly time she did. Republicans standing up for their constituents? It's unheard of!

Yes, he's an eloquent fool babbling nonsense.
