Nancy Pelosi Confirms Mystery Person Said Something to Harry Reid

Finally! Harry Reid is getting a little back-up in his some anonymous mystery person told me something bad about Mitt Romney story…

"Harry Reid made a statement that is true. Somebody told him. It is a fact," [Nancy] Pelosi told The Huffington Post in a Sunday interview. "Whether he did or not can easily be disposed of: Mitt Romney can release his tax returns and show whether he paid taxes."…

Asked to respond to Priebus calling Reid "a dirty liar" over the situation, Pelosi initially responded, "Who?" She went on to say that Priebus doesn't know what he's talking about since he wasn't part of Reid's conversations.

"Well he doesn't know that," Pelosi said. "Harry Reid is a person who is, as we know, A, is a fighter, B, he wouldn't say this unless it was true that somebody told him that."

Well, there you have it! Some unnamed person said something or other at some point in time about Mitt Romney's taxes to Harry Reid. "It is a fact!"

What more corroboration could anybody possibly want?

Queen Pelosi Is Painting Karl Rove Red

The Queen of Bleeding Hearts is making trouble again. When asked about the contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Eric Holder yesterday, Nancy Pelosi gave a terrible grimace, frightening enough to chill the blood of every reporter in her vicinity (we can imagine), and said…

"I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day," the California Democrat told reporters. "I’m not kidding. There’s a prison here in the Capitol. If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him."

Karl Rove guffawed at the thought of being banished to the Capitol's tower, nearly falling off the wall he was sitting on, which would have been a shame as all of George Bush's men are no longer there to put him back together again…

"You know, she sounds a little bit like Inspector Clouseau and a little bit [like] the Mad Red Queen, but Speaker Pelosi was dead wrong in her assertion today and I'm sure she had a good laugh and it's nice to know that she dreams of slapping me in her own personal jail. But she didn't have any authority to do it," Rove said.

Both Rove and Pelosi seem to be having a little too much fun imagining a game of prisoner and captor. If there wasn't such a thing as erotic political fan fiction before this, there certainly is now, and the fantasy on the other side of this looking glass is a not age appropriate for Alice. Get a dungeon already, you two.

Stephen Colbert Fires Back at Nancy Pelosi for Anti-Super PAC Attack

If you think about it, Super PACs are kind of the new podcast, which are the new blog. I guarantee, within a few months, every kid on Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg will have one.

Woman to Discuss Women's Health Issues Before Congress

I don't know what to make of this news…

Nancy Pelosi announced today that the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee will hold a hearing Thursday on the issue of women's health.

The sole witness at the hearing will be Ms. Sandra Fluke, a third-year law student at Georgetown University, who was blocked from testifying at a recent Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing by Chairman Darrell Issa.

For the record, I'm fine with the idea of a third-year law student and former president of Georgetown’s Students for Reproductive Justice group sitting before Congress to testify on women's health issues. Even if she is a woman. (Some of my best friends are people who are married to women.)

I'm just saying it's a slippery slope. I mean, today it's a woman testifying on women's health issues? What's next? A dog testifying on women's health issues? A rakishly-askew bowler hat testifying on women's health issues? We have to draw the line somewhere.

That's why I think it's best to just leave this to the people who know what they're talking about: sexually-repressed virgins and the modern-day equivalent of village shamans.
