nancy pelosi

Jim Clyburn wants to keep his job as Democratic whip, and Nancy Pelosi wants to keep her job as the top Democratic leader in Congress. That’s fine, but perhaps you guys could have thought for a second about poor Steny Hoyer, who would also maybe like to stay in one of the high leadership positions? [...]

Oh, did the Democratic Party lose some sort of little voting game on Tuesday? Nancy Pelosi didn’t notice, because she was too busy being more powerful than ever. Sure, some people would expect her to step aside after losing the House Speaker job to an orange alien humanoid. But that’s not her style. Her style [...]

Now you have something nice to think about, when you fap tonight. You’re welcome!

With the blue-dog days of summer finally behind us, it’s time for a look back: Remember those sun-drenched days of partying on the beach with Nancy Pelosi and her Bilderberg friends? Neither do we, as we were too busy getting high and drawing Ayn Rand cartoons. Graciously, some Pixar cartoon fetishist has recreated this forgotten [...]

You know how Democrats are attacked in ads for “rubber-stamping” Pelosi and/or Obama? Boehner has voted with the Democratic leadership 52 percent of the time in 2010. So has Rep. Mike Pence (Ind.), chairman of the Republican conference and former head of the conservative Republican Study Committee. Rep. Eric Cantor (Va.), the House Republican whip, [...]

Every campaign season in our increasingly retarded nation, potential voters are presented with many important survey and poll battles such as “What celebrity of the moment is better/worse than a completely unrelated government official?” For example: This person Lady Gaga, who seems to be mentioned a lot more than actually heard, could she defeat San [...]

Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government blog is trying to get yet another African-American woman in trouble, because black women have controlled America for far too long now. This time the target is DC’s Democratic faux-House representative Eleanor Holmes Norton, of whom Breitbart claims to have “SHOCK AUDIO” in the form of a voice mail message she [...]

This is probably supposed to be an attack ad, but isn’t little old Barbara Mikulski just so CUTE when her head is attached to a Tyrannosaurus Rex’s body? And then Reid and Pelosi are too? That should be how Congress does its official portraits. It’s very endearing! ANYWAY, this Eric Wargotz guy is not afraid [...]

By the Comics CurmudgeonYour cartoon correspondent has been looking at cartoons for Wonkette since roughly the Revolutionary War, during which time political cartoons haven’t changed much. You’d think that a man would burn out seeing endless weeping Statues of Liberty and fat generic Congressmen and “funny” Bush/Obama drawings with big ears. And you’d be right! [...]

Is Jimmy Carter the greatest president in history? Not only did he manage to free captured / arrested / kidnapped / whatever American Aijalon Mahli Gomes, but he also managed to get out of North Korea without having to party with the super-awkward Kim Jong-Il the way Bill Clinton did. Plus, he did not succumb [...]

Iowa Congressman and Bible interpretationist Steve King must be feeling bored and restless in these dog days of summer — or maybe he’s just riding a sweet corn sugar high — because he’s awfully feisty these days. It’s like he’ll say anything to get some attention! At least we can say he adds some “spontaneity” [...]

Empress of Minnesota Michele Bachmann has been using her popular e-newsletter and blog to ask the trenchant political questions of our time, like, “Is Nancy Pelosi afraid of strong conservative women?” and “Is Nancy Pelosi stress-binging on cherpumples after hours? I see love handles.” Bachmann’s latest complaint involves Pelosi’s calling the House back from break [...]

“Facing questions about whether he can win a second term as chairman of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele boasted Friday that he has re-shaped the committee from an unwieldy top-down behemoth into an agile grassroots organization with a record of success.” Somebody finally told Michael Steele he should just say he’s done a good [...]

You know, I originally pitched this weekly column to Tiger Beat, and they obviously jumped at it. But then I realized that the best place in the world for my devotion to Our Pantymelter in Chief was this reactionary liberal blog for overeducated elitist assholes, which is why Wonkette and I are happy to bring [...]

Iraq/Katrina/Florida Recount hero Dick Cheney may have finally used up his five death deferments. The beloved 69-year-old former vice president now has a “ventricular assist device” — or a dual-battery heart pump — implanted in his abdomen with motors churning the blood through his otherwise dead heart. The pumps “were once used only to keep [...]
