Dancing With The One Who Brought You

"Ya long-haired hippy kids! Git outta my yard!"

Nancy Peloooooosi on those goddam piece of crap hippy moonbat freaks patriotic Americans who question the war but not the troops (at least not when anybody is looking):

"Look," she said [at a lunch with reporters]. "I had, for five months, people sitting outside my home, going into my garden in San Francisco, angering neighbors, hanging their clothes from trees, building all kinds of things -- Buddhas? I don't know what they were -- couches, sofas, chairs, permanent living facilities on my front sidewalk."

Unsmilingly, she continued: "If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they would be arrested for loitering, but because they have 'Impeach Bush' across their chest, it's the First Amendment."

Her message to the Surrender Now! crowd? Grow up. Or at least go pester the GOP instead:

"We have to make responsible decisions in the Congress that are not driven by the dissatisfaction of anybody who wants the war to end tomorrow," Pelosi told the gathering at the Sofitel, arranged by the Christian Science Monitor. Though crediting activists for their "passion," Pelosi called it "a waste of time" for them to target Democrats. "They are advocates," she said. "We are leaders."

I think the Donks play a dangerous game here. It may be true that the nutroots are not nearly as powerful as they claim to be and that the Donks have realized the importance of cutting them down to size. On the other hand, this kind of talk is hardly going to transform the BDS crowd into meek party yes-men. I can see an enraged fringe causing all kinds of problems in a close general election. (Didn't Nader already say he was running again?)

I guess Kos didn't understand it when she yelled "Palomino!"
