BREAKING–who knows what’s going on? –and– Nancy Pelosi, Kiss my ***!!!

Nancy Pelosi must be getting a little testy about that 9% approval rating and the fact that Cindy Sheehan is causing her a little grief. But why is she taking it out on us?

“I think Hillary Clinton has been very gracious,” Pelosi said on KGO radio. “I think some of her supporters have been less than gracious.”

**UPDATE** There’s a storm a comin’ get ready for them to throw everything they got at us…hold on tight

WE have been less than gracious?  Excuse me Madame Speaker, but you don’t deserve any graciousness for the sniveling, backstabbing, dismissive way

Pelosi Deville

you have conducted yourself during this campaign season.  In fact I think you deserve a little more ridicule and derision, and thankfully the New York Observer gave me just the idea (see exhibit A, right).  But hey, maybe I should be thanking Nancy, I mean she did get us mentioned in the news again:

One group of disenchanted Democrats have formed a coalition popularly referred to as “Party Unity My A–,” while the AP reports Thursday other backers of Hillary Clinton plan to paper Denver, the city hosting the Democratic convention, with outraged fliers to express their disapproval with Obama as the presidential nominee.

And before anyone accuses ME of sexism for the above SATIRIC image, listen to Nancy’s own words.  She is so blinded to her own internalized misogyny that she can’t even tell the difference between Bill and Hillary Clinton, because of course there HAS to be a man behind the woman;

Speaking Wednesday, Pelosi also brushed aside comments made by Bill Clinton during a recent interview, during which the former president refused to say if he though Obama was ready to be Commander-in-Chief.

“I can’t answer for Bill Clinton,” she said. “It’s hard when you’re in a primary election. Losing is very, very difficult.”

Bless your heart Nancy, you didn’t get the memo?  HILLARY Clinton was running for the nomination, not Bill.  You really need to get out of Washington more often.   Anyway, maybe she’s mad because we’re getting more press than she is:

“I am a very realistic woman,” said Diane Mantouvalos, co-founder of the Just Say No Deal Coalition. “I don’t think that anything is going to change, but I do think it is important to be heard, and this is our way of doing it.”…

Mantouvalos, a Miami public relations consultant, said her network is renting a 5,000-square-foot loft in Denver for its bloggers. Another outfit called The Denver Group is planning a reception the evening Hillary Clinton speaks at the convention. The group, which is pushing for Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination, also hopes to raise enough money for a TV ad.

Diane is really getting our message out there.  She and Heidi LI Feldman, who was on NPR this moring, have been really getting noticed lately. Here’s Heidi:

“The only way a Democratic Party will have the credibility to elect a Democrat in November is if the party uses a legitimate process to choose its nominee,” said Heidi Li Feldman, co-founder of The Denver Group. “We are not per se a Clinton support group, we are a Democratic Party get-your-act-together support group.”

All in all, the article does a fair job of describing our online presence, and what we are fighting for:

The movement has grown on the Internet, where bloggers and readers complain that Clinton was cheated out of the party’s nomination. The Web site for Just Say No Deal links to dozens of other sites criticizing Obama or supporting Clinton.

Some accuse Obama of manipulating party caucuses for extra delegates while others complain that Clinton was the victim of sexist party leaders or was mistreated by the media. Many vent over the way the party divvied up delegates from the Florida and Michigan primaries, two states that were punished for violating national rules and holding their contests early.

They even go so far as to explain how the uncommitted votes of Michigan were given to Obama, although they stop just short of telling their readers of the  4 delegates that were outright stolen from Clinton and given to Obama.  And they forget to mention that this was all done with exit poll models instead of actual votes:

The national party reinstated the delegates in May, but gave each a half vote. And it awarded Obama some Michigan delegates, although he had taken his name off that ballot because of the party’s initial decision.

And as for this breaking news about putting Hillary’s name into nomination, I smell a rat.  Why?  well because the press is making this out to be much ado about nothing.  As if Obama had planned on allowing this to happen all along (although, I don’t know who appointed him emperor of the Democratic Party):

The release said Obama’s campaign encouraged the move to promote party unity, and recognize Clinton’s status as the first woman to compete in every presidential primary.

“I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton’s historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion,” said Obama in the statement, which also quoted Clinton saying that “with every voice heard and the Party strongly united, we will elect Senator Obama President of the United States and put our nation on the path to peace and prosperity once again.”

A Democratic source with knowledge of the discussions says that the process was not a negotiation – that both sides came to a mutual decision that the move was the best path.

Typical Obama lies.  Yeah, this is what he wanted all along.  It was Hillary who resisted because she didn’t want to be embarrassed when some of her delegates defected….whatever.   They must think we are morons (actually the reference to her being embarrassed has been removed from the updated version of the story!).  Not only that, they want to make clear that her being a woman is no big deal, its been done before:

If this happens, Clinton will not be the first woman to have her name placed in nomination for president at a major party convention. Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith was placed in nomination at the 1964 Republican convention, and New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm was placed in nomination at the 1972 Democratic convention.

So there!!!  Meanwhile, no details were given of how this would be done.  I suspect the devil is in the details.  We will bring you the latest news as it develops.
