(90,415 posts)And I LOVE our Once-and-Future Speaker of the House!
And when he delivers his snake of the union speech there shell be, sitting above and behind. A looming figure lurking uncomfortably close - because shell be in almost EVERY shot of that podium.
I personally will enjoy that vision as a partial payback for the deliberate lurking he did to Hillary during that one debate. Lurking. Menacing. Attempted intimidation. An attempt to distract the viewer. He probably knows from television that the eye will instinctively wander toward the movement in the picture.
Therell shell be. Nancy Pelosi will be that potentially menacing figure looming behind him, bringing possible danger. Payback, you bastard! Eat it. Those photos that night will get all kinds of extra play, as the pundits will carry on about the metaphor in that setting.
During the State of the Union speech, what you see on display is the line of succession. President, Vice President, AND Speaker of the House. The Big Three in the worst-case scenario leadership composite. SHES next in line after Pence. SHES a full-in member of that monolithically exclusive club. The three top-tier leaders.
Get ready for commentary noting how theres Nancy and what that symbolizes.
