“Before the signing Wednesday, aides set out two small trays containing more than two dozen black pens emblazoned with Pelosi's signature. She entered the room and sat at a table with the documents and pens before her. House prosecutors and the committee chairmen who had worked on Trump's impeachment were standing around her. Pelosi picked up each pen, signed a bit, and handed each one to a lawmaker. Sometimes, she was smiling.”Despicable as those ‘lawmakers’ are, including Pencil Neck, they’re really only the bit players in an ongoing circus of clowns. Was it because the commemorative pens were on back order that kept the drama queen sitting on the Impeachment Articles for an entire month?
“Embarrassing spectacle - Pelosi using sterling silver platters and handing out ceremonial pens to everyone in sight, made it ridiculously theatrical and so tacky and clownish. What goofballs,” Mark Simone, a conservative radio host, tweeted.(Fox News) “Impeachment is so “Prayerful” that Pelosi was handing out pens in celebration.” “You know what you hand out pens for? Accomplishments. Like, say, signing a historic trade deal with China,” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Elizabeth Harrington added, referencing Trump -- who on the same day as Pelosi's impeachment signing entered a landmark trade agreement with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He in the East Room of the White House.”

“Even worse than offending the Founding Fathers, you are offending Americans of faith by continually saying “I pray for the President,” when you know this statement is not true, unless it is meant in a negative sense,” Trump countered. (Fox News) “After the House vote, Pelosi withheld the articles for about four weeks from the Senate in an effort to pressure Senate Republicans to commit to seeing additional documents and testimony as part of trial proceedings. That promise never came, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters Tuesday he was considering allowing both sides – Democrats and Republicans – to call additional witnesses.
Pelosi has been reigning Gig and Gag Queen ever since she handed out paper napkins embossed in gold with the words ‘Speaker Pelosi January 4, 2007’ for attendees at her inauguration dinner to “wipe their lips with paper napkins while nibbling on goat cheese ravioli with pumpkin and truffle”. (Washington Post, Jan. 5, 2007). “The lavish, $1,000-a-ticket dinner was straight out of Cleopatra Comes to Washington with some of the Pelosi acting of Hollywood Oscar calibre: “The speaker, with a grandchild on her lap, also sang along to Carole King’s performance of “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.” (Canada Free Press, Jun 27, 2014) “Guests heard former members of the Grateful Dead sing “Truckin” and Tony Bennett sing “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”.
“Democrats are back!” Pelosi said in her remarks during the few minutes reporters were permitted inside. “We are ready to lead, prepared to govern and determined to make you proud.” “The Jan. 4 gavel-passing will officially install her as speaker, the highest office ever attained by a female elected official in the U.S. She will set out her agenda in a speech to the House, then avail herself for the traditional photo session that gives the 434 other House members and their families a chance to have their picture taken with Pelosi pretending to swear them in.” (LA Times, Dec. 11, 2006 )It’s high time to yank consummate actress Pelosi off the public stage; time to hold Democrats accountable for letting her get away with turning the House into street theatre activism. Meanwhile, the only possible way to avoid weeks of the Impeachment Trial ad nauseam is to avoid the networks like the Plague.
