The RNC's latest attempt at cuteness, humor and political and social relevancy finds a James Bond-like depiction of the Speaker of the House (and, I might add, second in line for the presidency) not-too-subtly as Pussy Galore. And you have to love Pelosi in crosshairs, gunshots and blood dripping down the screen.

While the RNC ultimately decided to going with the hip-hop strategy of Michael Steele, they might have found (as the Dems are still wont to do) that depictions of women in politics might be less ham-handed if they had more women in their reporting structure - especially the marketing and ad departments.

As the Republicans try to gain back some traction in 2010, they'll have to hope that Republican, center-leaning Dems and Independent women hate Pelosi more than they hate sexist and violent images against women. Hell, PUMA may even have a hard time parsing this one.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
