Did the RNC Really Call Nancy Pelosi THAT?!?

I'm not going to spend too much time on this, as Melinda wrapped it up pretty well, but the RNC's "Pussy Galore" video has already garnered an apologist, Hot Air's Allahpundit:

I would have posted this sooner but I ended up locked in a two-hour Twitter battle over it, the highlight of which was my being compared to a hypothetical German in the early years of the Third Reich who refused to go jumping to conclusions about Hitler.

I was part of that Twitter battle (not the one who made the Germany reference), so I wanted to get my two cents in here. AP is having the wrong argument:

The RNC does occasionally display suicidal tendencies - see, e.g., pretty much anything to come out of Michael Steele's mouth over the past few months - but I can't believe they intended to call Pelosi a "pussy" knowing how offensive it is, how many votes it could cost them, and how outrageously outraged the media would be on her behalf as a way of changing the subject from her lies about waterboarding.

I don't think the RNC was "calling her a pussy," either. Any kid on a playground will tell you that makes no sense. They were clearly equating her with a movie character named "Pussy Galore," which actually is demeaning. They also feature a mimic of the sexually charged Bond titles sequences. Maybe the sexy woman with her back turned is supposed to be the CIA, not Pelosi.

However, at the end of the video, they display a graphic that says "Democrats Galore." Here, they are definitely calling the Democrats "pussies," I guess for their stand on torture? It's funny how much conservatives talk tough about torture, except for the ones who have been tortured. (See also: non-pussy John McCain.)
