Default Pelosi Named Speaker-Elect

Wonder how many more Armani suits and botox she'll need now that she's in the top position???

WASHINGTON - Nancy Pelosi was unanimously named speaker-elect by House Democrats Thursday, the first woman to be ensured the post that constitutionally is second in line of succession to the presidency.

Even as Pelosi was enjoying her finest hour politically, her fellow Democrats remained divided by a family feud over whom to select as her top lieutenant.

and the best JP5 can do is blubber on about botox. Now that's a real politcally stinging attack on Pelosi.

JP5 though probably has noted that since her doom and gloom postings of what Speaker Pelosi would mean, the stock market has rallied to new heights, inflation is lowest in 5 years and everyone in America (but JP5 and her ilk) think that Democrats in charge of the House and Senate has the promise of many good things for America.

Happy days are here again (so why is JP5 moping so much over spilt milk?).

And in other news.... the sky was blue this morning.

Seriously, though -- is picking on her looks really the way to go? Was Dennis Hastert really all that much to look at?

Dennis Hastert was who he was, and most comfortable in his skin. Pelosi is phony, pretentious and most uncomfortable in her skin.

Imagine that, a woman who is more concerned about her looks than a man in his late sixties.

Would you like me to dig up some of your attacks on Bush et al that had nothing to do with policy? Yes, inflation is low. Let me guess, the dems who have yet to take office get credit right? Oops...looks like Beagle is forced to abandon his partisan ramblings and credit Bush or the Repub congress.
