House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) called GOP mention of the content of the Democratic National Committee's emails hacked and published by Wikileaks "unfair. It's like a football team purloining a copy of the other team's playbook and using that to win a game. It's cheating. It's dishonest."
Pelosi brushed aside email content revealing that the DNC cheated by rigging their primaries against Hillary Clinton's main rival for the nomination Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt), saying "since when do two wrongs make a right? We are calling on the GOP to turn aside from a tit-for-tat. Attempting to get even by mimicking disreputable tactics escalates the conflict. This is a chance for the GOP to take the high road."
The former House Speaker's plea addressed to the current House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc) urged that "Democrats and Republicans must present a united front in the face of the threat posed by Donald Trump. This outsider does not understand the unwritten rules and long standing traditional ways the two Parties interact. He will mercilessly batter us with evidence that was never meant for anyone to see."
Ryan's responded that "I have no authority to issue the cease-and-desist order that Rep. Pelosi is requesting. For one, the RNC is an independent body outside the span of the Speaker's reach. For two, I can't see that there could be any justification for suspending freedom of speech on the grounds that it makes Democrats uncomfortable."
Pelosi characterized Ryan's response as "misogynistic and callous. Here we have the first woman with a realistic chance to become president and all he can do is prattle on about freedom of speech. Where are his priorities. When we add in the toll the stress of the campaign is taking on Hillary's heath it's like he's kicking her when she's down. Is there no chivalrous bone in his body?"
In related news, Clinton ended her long press conference drought this week as she was mercilessly grilled for 89 seconds by media hounds demanding to know "how was your Labor Day weekend?" and "are you ready to be president?"

I think the third question was something to do with draperies.
Just tell the Demorats to go sit on their thumbs.
LOL. As usual with your satires it is so very hard to know whether you wrote this piece around real quotes, or if you massaged their statements to draw attention to the absurd hypocrisy of these two-faced recreants. Regardless, the way you parrot journalistic style is masterful.
