Before we do that can we use a few quaint Puritan punishments on her? Like the Dunking Stool?

No one knows how to play Medi-scare better than House minority leader Nancy Pelosi. Even before Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan to be his veep, the former Speaker from San Francisco was using the Ryan budget as the key to her “Drive for 25,” the net number of House seats Democrats need to regain control of the House and make Pelosi Speaker again.
Until now, that’s been a long shot bid. But GOP strategists worry that Ryan will so unsettle tight House races that if Democrats don’t make 25 this year, they’ll be in spitting distance for 2014. That would make a potential Pelosi retirement all the more unlikely.
Ryan, chair of the House Budget Committee, put the entire Republican House on record voting for his “Roadmap for America’s Future” plan to turn Medicare into a “premium support” program, a pretty name for vouchers. Instead of an open-ended entitlement to see any doctor at any time for anything, Medicare would become a capped coupon that that future seniors could use to buy their own insurance.
Having been Medi-scared by Republicans in the 2010 election cycle (the Pelosi/Obama health care law cut several hundred billion dollars from Medicare Advantage), Pelosi turned the tables. She claims at every opportunity that the Ryan plan would “end Medicare as we know it.” Now she has Ryan at the top of the GOP ticket broadcasting her campaign mantra.
Today her office put out a “memo to interested parties” called, “The Truth Hurts – You Can’t Run Away from Chairman Ryan.” It offers many links, such as one to a Congressional Budget Office estimate showing the Ryan plan could increase costs to seniors by $6,400.
For the record, Medicare as we know it will end, whichever party is in power. . . .

If Obama wins, the house gets 25, and Pelosi regains Speaker-ship, Just imagine all the “progress” we could make as a nation! Why, I bet we could be Argentina in less than a year!
Not happening. They won’t get 10. They could suffer a net loss.
Oh good grief....she is such a disgrace! Sorry Strecth Pelosi, but Whirlled Peas (in my blender) does’t equal world peace. Will you please just go away with your idiot daughter and praech your brand of stupid to the druggies in Haight Ashbury!!

That shit they’re smoking out there must be realllly good shit. They are absolutely delusional.
She may end up there, if Bozo's docs get thrown on the street and held up side-by-side by that notarized phony doc she sent Hawaii in 2008, "certifying" that Bozo is Article II eligible. I don't think he was, and if it can be shown he wasn't -- that's a federal trial for her, and for her notary public she used.
I thought Debbie Blabbermouth-Schultz had that job on a semipermanent basis.
IF... by some insanely disgusting and cruel twist, Democrats are able to regain the House - we might as well turn the lights out on the USA.
There are so many female dingbat democrats in elected positions, you have to pick and choose who you want to laugh at.
Yeah, if there were only such a thing as equal justice in America anymore.
She belongs in prison for what she’s done to this nation.”
These people win again we are finished. At least I am.
What GOP strategists?
I had no idea the Vice President could do this.
Lies just roll off the lips of libs without a thought.
I remember when I heard her say: “You have to pass it to see what’s in it.” I thought she was talking about a bowel movement.
I would rather see her in a cemetery.
