ATTENTION Nancy Pelosi: Your party LOST the November elections. The time has come to lift your head out of the fog and accept the fact that you are now in the minority!
John Boehner’s Greatest Challenge: Prying Speaker’s Gavel Loose from Pelosi!
- Satire
In just a few short weeks, Republican John Boehner, Speaker-elect of the U.S. House will face what will be the most formidable challenge he will face in his new job.
For come early January, Boehner must devise a clever way to wrest the Speaker’s Gavel from the wrinkled hands of Nancy Pelosi, who in January, becomes the deposed Speaker of the House.
The challenge to the Speaker-elect will be so intense that the weepy-prone gentleman from Ohio may wind up stuck in a state of perpetual crying, due to over exposure to the antics and insanity of Nancy Pelosi.
Does that sound like a bit of an exaggeration? If so, please remember that:
This is the same Pelosi who was adamant that Democrats would retain majority status in the House, and who continued to gush with confidence in that belief even as every poll and pundit on the planet warned of an unprecedented rout;
This is the same Pelosi who despite the crushing defeat of fellow Democrats on November 2 vehemently denied that the election was in any way related to her far-left policies or brazen disregard for the will of the people;
This is the same Pelosi who refused to listen to members of her own party when they urged her to abandon her ill-conceived pursuit of a leadership role in the new Congress, opting instead to further burden her party with the bitter partisanship that she is infamous for;
This is the same Pelosi who, despite the fact that President Obama was personally involved in negotiating the Bush tax cuts with Republicans, had the temerity to schedule a House vote on extending tax cuts only to those families earning less than $250,000 a year, an act that undercuts Obama’s stated willingness to compromise.
Perhaps an earth-to-Pelosi shout out is called for, along the following lines:
ATTENTION Nancy Pelosi: Your party LOST the November elections. The time has come to lift your head out of the fog and accept the fact that you are now in the minority!
