Nancy Pelosi Comforts Zelensky With an Offer of Help From … Billie Jean King
PJ Media ^ | 10 Mar 2022 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 03/11/2022 7:58:44 AM PST by Rummyfan

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Smirnoff, uh, make that Tito’s Handmade) spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the other day, and at her Wednesday press conference, she shared with the world her words of courage and inspiration. “In fact,” Pelosi announced, “when I spoke to President Zelensky, I said, ‘Billie Jean King sends you her regards and wants to know how she can help in any event.’”

Billie Jean King? And so Madame Speaker gives us yet another advertisement for term limits, and maybe even an age limit for elected officials.

Kids, Billie Jean King was a professional tennis player. She won Wimbledon six times and numerous other championships. She may be most famous, however, for the 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” match with Bobby Riggs, who was 55 at the time (she was 29, and decisively defeated him). What kind of help she could offer Zelensky is unclear, as she is now 78 and not known to be a tank commander or fighter pilot.

Nancy Pelosi is 81 years old, three years older than Billie Jean King and two years older than Old Joe Biden — who is dismayed that Vladimir Putin had the temerity to invade Russia. Pelosi and Biden are just two of the gerontocrats who now dominate Washington: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is 71. House Judiciary Committee chair Jerry Nadler is 74. California senator Dianne Feinstein is 88. All of them are Democrats, but Iowa senator Chuck Grassley is also 88 and is a Republican. Grassley is the chair of the Senate Aging Committee, and he is obviously well qualified for the job.

What makes these politicians and so many others stay on long after their sell-by date, when they should be sitting on a porch somewhere, enjoying some lemonade and regaling the grandkids with stories of how they delivered a huge pork package for the district? The answer is likely the same as the answer to the question of why six of the fifteen richest counties in the country are in Virginia and Maryland, right outside Washington, D.C. Public service in the United States has become a lucrative exercise in mutual back-slapping, with numerous well-heeled lobbies eager to pay a cash-strapped Congressman outlandish speaker’s fees after he gets them what they want on the legislative floor. And once you’ve climbed aboard the gravy train, it’s hard to get off.

I don’t understand why we haven’t deployed James Taylor yet. What better way is there to say “You’ve got a friend”?

I don’t know why the Fabulous and Magnificent Vindman Brothers haven’t offered to stand up for their home country yet. I’m really disappointed by those two PX heroes.

She’s going to train the Ukrainians to use potato guns but with armor piercing tennis balls instead of tatoes.

Pretty soon Nancy will have a conversation with Biden and actually think they had a normal conversation.

..... I'm pretty sure Pelosi is actually referring to the April 2022 event where Team USA will host Ukraine with a spot in the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup Finals.

"Oh, Mr. President! Suzanne Somers - who played "airhead" Chrissy Snow on the beloved U.S. tv show "Three's Company" - sends you her regards and wants to know how she can help in any event."

I think Pelosi’s brain landed on this thing to say because Billie Jean King is one of the most famous lesbians in the U.S. Nancy Pelosi’s “logic” figured she could play to the homosexuals at the same time as saying something nice to Ukraine. It could be a “two-fer.” Maybe she had not yet pandered to homosexuals that day. Given the idiotic curricula and govt regulations wiping out gender, her comment in the middle of Russian war crimes makes sense to her constituency, which is comprised of the growing number of Looney Tune brains in the U.S.

She should have gone with the younger Martina Navratilova.
The Russian surname could be a problem though…

How incredibly tone deaf. “We are sorry you are being massacred but remember we are having a tennis tournament”

“Today, we will be covering a new sport: Old Lady Tennis Players versus Russian Tanks.

You can see Billie Jean King warming up by whacking a shopping cart with her racket.

The Russian Tank has just started its engine.

The buzzer has sounded and Billie Jean rushes forward and starts banging on the tank with her racket.

Oh my! The tank is moving! There goes Billie Jean under the track!

Someone get a snow shovel and scoop up Billie Jean!”

Haven’t you heard? Lesbians are magic. Even aged bulldykes like Billie Jean King. If she’s in Ukraine’s corner, how can they lose? If she’s with them, who can be against them?

It’s analogous to something Kramer once said on Seinfeld: “Yeah, like Dian Fossey. You know, she’s the only person that’s ever been accepted into gorilla society. And you know, once those gorillas accept you, you’ve got it made in the shade.”

I live in Appalachia. Lesbians are everywhere. No idea why. Many of them are involved in agriculture or lumber.
