cracking me up! I haven't read Wonkette in awhile. It's so Awesome that all these really Cool Peeps are supporting Nancy.. like we just know through years of experience she'd be the best

Think I'll just c/p some nuggets here..

The anticipated electoral "blue wave" now feels more like a riptide: You don't see it coming and then it murders you

Okay!

It's no wonder architect of our success Nancy Pelosi has coasted to presumptive Speaker of the House with a pro forma closed-door vote. No, wait, that's Chuck Schumer.



The Senate is structured such that Democrats have to compete in solid red states to have a shot at the majority, and yet no one suggests ditching Schumer for Sherrod Brown, who is from the midwest and is fully conscious.

Burn!

Donald Trump and the GOP tried to frame the midterms as all about the nightmare scenario of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Every dude with an opinion -- so like every dude -- suggested that Pelosi was a "threat" to Democrats' midterm chances


These people never seem to think that Mitch McConnell, who is less popular than leprosy, is a Republican albatross. Once the results were in, even conservative pundit Joe Scarborough admitted that Republicans ran hard against Pelosi and suffered their "worst loss since Watergate." Here endeth the lesson.



Abigail Spanberger, who defeated David Bratt in Virginia's 7th, said she won't support Pelosi because "we need new voices." That's you, lady. You're the new voice. We're all glad you're in DC now with your new voice. We don't need "new" voices as House Speaker. We need an effective voice that knows what the hell it's doing. I don't even want a "new voice" for my dental hygienist.

BaZing!!

Priceless! Thank You, Hermit!
