I Guess We Violence-Inciting Swastika-Waving Americans Aren’t So Bad After All

If baldfaced political hackery were an Olympic sport, Nancy Pelosi would have so much hardware around her neck that Mr. T or Flava Flav would spontaneously immolate themselves in white-hot flames of pure jealousy.

Not all that long ago, Speaker Pelosi called the pretty average men and women of the Tea Party movement a bunch of ugly, un-American, swastika-carrying Nazis who are “afraid…of the facts” and spouted “frightening” rhetoric that would lead to violence. Now that she’s had some time to reflect, and take a good hard look at the polls, she’s suddenly decided that those darned America-hating loons aren’t so bad after all.

PELOSI: No – No what I said at the time is, that they were — the Republican Party directs a lot of what the Tea Party does, but not everybody in the Tea Party takes direction from the Republican Party. And so there was a lot of, shall we say, Astroturf, as opposed to grassroots.

But, you know, we share some of the views of the Tea Partiers in terms of the role of special interest in Washington, D.C., as — it just has to stop. And that’s why I’ve fought the special interest, whether it’s on energy, whether it’s on health insurance, whether it’s on pharmaceuticals and the rest.

Oh yeah, she’s fought awfully hard against pharmaceutical interests, which is why Amgen was her top contributor in the 2008 election cycle. Her steadfast against the health insurance special interests sure didn’t stop her from taking over $208,000 from health professionals or $177,000 from the insurance industry in the same cycle? And her dedication to making the energy debate special interest-free? Well, General Electric, who clocked in at Number 7 on her big donor list didn’t seem to notice her noble struggle.

And notice that she didn’t mention labor unions among the special interest she’s been fighting. Nine of them rank among her top 32 contributors, along with at least as many professional associations like the National Association of Realtors and the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Wait a minute. Those two groups right there just might have had some inteest in the housing bubble her Congress helped to case, don’t you think? And I’m quite sure that Goldman Sachs (#9 on her list) had some skin in the game, too. IN fact, if you want to look at who she really considers her constituency, you need look mo further than the top two industries on his campaign cash list: Lawyers and Security Investors.

Yeah, but she’s fighting the good fight against those greedy fat cats to protect us little people she suddenly realized she doesn’t hate so much, right? Pull the other one, Money Bags, it has bells on it.

UPDATE: The hackery just keeps getting better. Dig her definition of “bipartisan”.

“Bipartisanship is a two-way street..but let me say this, the bill can be bipartisan, even though the votes might not be bipartisan, because they [Republicans] have made their imprint on this.”

In other words, she can shove any old partisan bill down our throats, but it’s okay. After all, she stuck some idea in the bill that some Republican thought about at some point in history, which makes it not a partisan bill at all but a brilliant rainbow of bipartisan love.

You know, the day she leaves office will be one of the greatest days in American history. Such a miserable vomitous masses has no business serving the public because she serves only her own desire to exert as much power over each of us as she can. No one serve two masters and Nancy Pelosi has made it abundantly clear who she serves. You can bet your last dime it’s not us.
