Twist, Nancy, Twist

Twist, Nancy, Twist

Pelosi is being hung out to dry for her flagrant dishonesty about the CIA briefings, and it is amazing to watch the Obama administration allow her to twist in the wind. In fact, they even seem to be building a fire under her dangling feet.

Conservatives are all awash with glee at the political disintegration of the most vicious partisan obstructionist figure in Congress. We all want to believe this is happening because she “deserves it.” Lord knows it is about time someone call her on her hypocrisy. However, the fact that it is being allowed to happen and perhaps even orchestrated by the Obama regime should give us all pause.

We want to tell ourselves that the White House is giving Madame Pelosi the cyanide capsule because they are making good on their promise for zero tolerance on corruption and petty partisanship. It gives us hope to think that finally, finally, finally someone is holding the Dragon Lady accountable for her arrogance and hypocrisy. Finally, finally, finally.

Could this be the first step to establishing the Obama’s tag line: the “new era of cooperation” we have all be craving?

Don’t cancel your tea party yet.

If the administration is piling the firewood under her feet, it simply means she has become a liability to them. No matter that she has been a liability to the country her entire career.

This event is not even as surprising as it may seem. In fact, it was predicted-- by me, the Fairness Doc. The day after the election, I was commiserating with fellow Conservatives. I told them to take heart because this will mean the end to Pelosi. My colleagues laughed at me-- one nearly choking on his Diet Coke.

They thought I was joking. No, I explained, Obama will need to find a reason to get rid of her, and he won’t be able to put her on a plane and ship her out of the country (into a war zone) like Hillary. He has to get rid of Pelosi-- not because her popularity numbers look like a winter thermometer at International Falls, Minnesota. Not because her evil partisanship prevents Congress from accomplishing the will of the people. Not because her unbridled arrogance allows her to make preposterous statements like “There’s 500 million people out of work” (2.5 times more than the population of the country), and we have to get this bill through because “people are hungry” -- as she flies off to Rome for a “vacay” at taxpayer’s expense. Not, not even because she has allowed Frank (pun intended) Congressional incompetence, hypocrisy, and outright corruption, exemplified by Congressmen and new cabinet members who put their own well-being and security before the nation’s and hold themselves above the rules, laws, and taxes they force on the rest of us.

I told my sputtering colleagues in November, 2008, that Obama will put Pelosi on the chopping block faster than King Henry the VII and Anne Boleyn. I was off by about 15 days. She is being served up as the blue plate special not because she is elitist, arrogant, and partisan, but because she is not elitist, arrogant, and partisan enough. If Obama wanted to, he could protect her-- one snap of his fingers and his media lapdogs would ask her no tougher questions than they ask Michelle. She is twisting in the wind right now for one reason only: she would not subdue her desire for power enough to yield it to the administration.

Pelosi wants power for herself, and a megalomaniac like Obama will not stand for anything less than total subservience to HIM. If he swoops in an saves her now, she will be on bended knee for the rest of his term. If she doesn't yield to him, it's off with her head.

You can almost hear him say: “Hey Panetta-- get the rope and firewood. And don’t forget the marshmallows.”
