"Anybody knows not to mess with me" (Nancy Pelosi next Speaker of the House) (Barf Alert)

Nancy Pelosi leads the Democrats with a fiery style that could make her the first woman Speaker of the House

Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the Democrats in the House, portrays herself as a polite, grandmotherly lady. She constantly discusses her five grandchildren, makes sure her office is stocked with Ghirardelli chocolates, perpetually smiles and never swears in a business in which almost everyone else does. She even has a few cute quirks she and her staff would love to tell you about: a diet consisting mostly of chocolate and chocolate ice cream, and so much energy, she rarely sleeps. Just the other night, she will tell you, she was up watching MTV after midnight.

Don't believe it for a second. Would your grandmother ever say, "If people are ripping your face off, you have to rip their face off" (Pelosi's approach to handling attacks from Republicans)? How about "If you take the knife off the table, it's not very frightening anymore" (her explanation for why she won't let voters forget George W. Bush's unpopular Social Security proposal from last year)?

The 66-year-old San Francisco lawmaker is an aggressive, hyperpartisan liberal pol who is the Democrats' version of Tom DeLay, minus the ethical and legal problems of the former Republican House leader. To condition Democrats for this fall's midterm elections, she has employed tactics straight out of DeLay's playbook: insisting other House Democrats vote the party line on everything, avoiding compromise with Republicans at all cost and mandating that members spend much of their time raising money for colleagues in close races. And she has been effective.

A message for Nancy

[MaestroLC]

Especially when she doesn't get her weekly face-lift and botox...

[John Jorsett]

a diet consisting mostly of chocolate and chocolate ice cream, and so much energy, she rarely sleeps.

Characteristics she shares with crystal meth addicts.

[Argus]

Add that to the popped eyeballs, wild mood swings, ultra aggression and sandpaper personality, and my diagnosis would be acute hyperthyroidism, Grave's Disease and possibly dementia praecox.

[rhombus]

And your little dog too.

[shankbear]

Nancy....kiss my big fat a$$ you botox injected witchface hag. Come get in my face troll ho and I will slap you. Oh, you would like that.

Does Dr. Argus prescribe perhaps a frontal lobotomy to relieve the patient's symptoms??

That must be another Nancy Pelosi than the one I am familiar with.....

[Rummyfan]

ROTFLMAO!!!

[KoRn]

Profile of a vile woman. She's even more of a bitch than Hillary!

If she becomes Speaker, I wonder if she'll put a dagger in the President's back during the state of the union address.

[originalbuckeye]

She needs to lower her testosterone dose!

[Rummyfan]

Let's see..... the Heinous Hillary on the cover last week and now a loving admiring Pelosi puff piece. TIME biased? No way!

[BallyBill]

Nancy, Cheney called. Quail season opens soon.

[Gritty]

"If people are ripping your face off, you have to rip their face off"...

"If you take the knife off the table, it's not very frightening anymore"...

People who have to tell you how tough they are really aren't.

[Argus]

That's assuming there's a lobe there in the first place. I don't see much evidence of it.

Just the other night, she will tell you, she was up watching MTV after midnight.

This pretty much sums up everything I need to know about Nancy Pelosi.

[BRUMama]

I LOVE that quote! It has been a favorite of our family for years! Great to hear it again!

Very true... especially in the case of Ms. Plastic Pelosi!

[Babu]

Just the other night, she will tell you, she was up watching MTV after midnight.

They neglected to mention that she was wearing her high school cheerleader's outfit while watching ...

[Socratic]

Pelosibitch is aptly named.

[DTogo]

Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the Democrats in the House, portrays herself as a polite, grandmotherly lady.

I had a polite grandmother who conducted herself as a lady. Nancy, you are NO polite grandmother or lady.

Somehow I knew that would be the good doctor's response in this case, but I always refer to the good doctor for his wisdom ...

Perhaps some shock therapy?? :)

[softwarecreator]

Oh, puhleaze.  My wife would kick the living s**t out of her.  Actually, so would my 12 year old daughter.

[Argus]

If Pelosi ever becomes Speaker, I'll be the one needing therapy.

"a diet consisting mostly of chocolate and chocolate ice cream, and so much energy, she rarely sleeps.

She may also have worms.

[art_rocks]

If only she would think the terrorist are as dangerous to America as Republicans, then we might think she was serious at defending this country.

[CaptainK]

She even has a few cute quirks she and her staff would love to tell you about... so much energy, she rarely sleeps. Just the other night, she will tell you, she was up watching MTV after midnight.

Because her face has been pulled so tight she can't close her eyes.

[holden]

the Democrats' version of Tom DeLay, minus the ethical and legal problems

Oh, really? So Time can just gloss over Pelosi's 2/2004 $21,000 FEC fine for improperly accepting campaign donations over federal limits and get away with it?

HF

[GOP_Proud]

Spitballs. nuthin' but spitballs.

[Dumpster Baby]

Oh, you would like that.

Masochist: "Hurt me, hurt me please!"

Sadist: "No. Bwaaahaaahhaaaa!"

[SoCalConservative]

I dare say I dislike this creature even more than Hitlary (was going to say hate, but I'm in a good mood!). A truly frightening person.

[DustyMoment]

While this is just another Time article pimping another leftist in what Time hopes will be a leftist blow out in the fall, I do want to sound this warning: Remember, this could be the NEXT Speaker of the House if we all take our "mad" at thew Republicans to the ballot box and decide to show them a "thing or two".

This is NOT the election for sending messages.

[Constitution1st]

Go ahead; mess with her. Mess up her hair, stick your fingers in her eyes, smear her makeup all over her face.

That is precisely what she fears, the loathesome creature.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Which Pelosi is this bozo talking about? Surely not the botox bimbo in the House that is always trying to rip President Bush's face off.

[fishergirl]

A few more facelifts and her eyebrows will end up on the back of her head.

[davisfh]

"...makes sure her office is stocked with Ghirardelli chocolates, perpetually smiles and..."makes sure that she never blinks.

[wildwood]

this is the most breathtakingly OBVIOUS but LAME support of a totally vacuous, plasticized incompetent loser politician i have EVER witnessed.

how CAN they try to prop up this stuffed 90 year old barbie long enough to be second in line for the presidency? how CAN they.

[wildwood]

"If people are ripping your face off,

it's obvious SHE's already HAD her face ripped off SEVERAL times.

[twomin0]

Someone ought to be looking into her Monte Carlo $30m condo and all sorts of other hidden perks and sweetheart deals.

[dufekin]

Sorry, but the Democrats are definitionally incorruptible and never violate any ethical standards because they set the bar for themselves so low that even Pelosi's political allies in al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Ahmadinejad cannot cross to the unethical side. Only disloyalty to Democrats--a la Lieberman, who supports America still--can raise their ire.

[BulletBobCo]

I know of nothing more frightening than having Pelosi as Speaker of the House and just two steps from assuming the Presidency! Nothing!

[saveliberty]

Bwhahahahahhaaha

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Does she constantly carry and refer to an astrological chart? Is she a devotee of "The Goddess?" Does she exercise with sports figures?

[saveliberty]

LOL Don't put too much stock in this article. It's a puff piece. LOL Only two weeks ago she had to say that attendence to her daily meetings was mandatory because only one fourth of the Dem Members of the House came.

Taking attendence -- that's her big achievement.

[wildwood]

few cute quirks

hunh. REALLY...like bugeyes that never close, skin stretched tighter than a drum, a wiggling walk and a phony baloney tough guy attitude?

[wildwood]

i forgot to mention the eyebrows. and eyebrows that look like birds in flight?

this really bugs me.

Hi Nancy. Meet Mike. You two are made for each other!
