House Speaker Nancy Pelosi can sit back and enjoy her Memorial Day picnic basket after all, because the Republican National Committee has thoughtfully provided her with a pre-holiday gift-pack in the form of a video so sexist that – no joke – it compared her to the Bond movie bad-girl Pussy Galore. (Pelosi Galore, get it? What will these kidders think of next?)
Take the next coupla days off, Madam Speaker. Because ill-advised as it was, claiming you hadn't heard jack about waterboarding -- well, this classic and classless bit of woman-hating is just the diversion you were no doubt praying for.
As the Washington Post reported earlier this week, the RNC posted a YouTube video, "Pelosi versus the CIA,'' that used the theme music from the 1964 Bond movie "Goldfinger" in which Bond, James Bond, goes up against, ahem, the criminal mastermind (and lesbian!) Pussy Galore.
The video, as subtle as any Bond film, showed a split-screen view of Pelosi and Galore, featured a shot from the movie, and closed with a shot of a nearly naked woman's back, along with the tagline, "Lack of Leadership. Democrats Galore.'' So Emily, don't they have any women working over there who could have told them that this sort of thing is perhaps not the ideal way to win over women -- last seen flocking to the other team -- or other voters living in this century?

What as assine article. WHERE"S The video???? Anything connected to the NY Times is questionable. They suck!I don't think this video (if there was one) was put out by the RNC, probably some home vdieo guy out for a laugh.

Go to youtube and do a search for Pelosi, the video comes right up. (wasn't hard to find at all seeing how the article told you it was on youtube) The video was put out by the RNC

Wow, the RNC put out such a tasteless video? How shocking. This goes right along with conservatives calling Democrats "socialists" and wanting 2010 to be "The Year of the Bible." What a winning stratgey. All of this will no doubt send all those independent voters scrambling back to vote Republican.

If you took Melinda Henneberger and Nancy Pelosi brains and ground them together, you'd have to bowls of mush -- instead of one. But, being that liberalism is a mental disorder, what else would one expect?

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now says the CIA and President Bush misled her on water boarding. Yeah. Apparently she was misled by the Bush Administration. So she spends eight years telling everybody how dumb President Bush is, and the minute they're in trouble, 'He fooled me! I had no idea! He tricked me!'" --Jay Leno

That was funny saz, but I like this one:
"They say Nancy Pelosi was aware, as far back as 2003 that we tortured and didn't raise any questions about it. Which raises the big question: what did Nancy Pelosi know, and when was she going to tell her face?" --Bill Maher
what's wrong with it Melinda? I don't find the video sexist at all

IF PIGLOSI IS DUMB ENOUGH to kick back this weekend - more power to her.
It gives the GOP open air to continue to flaunt her 5-lies in two weeks and her attack on America's CIA with nothing to back it up.

Another imaginary video from the NYT. No doubt the imaginary ones who shouted "Kill Obama" at Palin rallies are featured.
