Nancy Pelosi - 'most powerful Italian since Caesar'
SF Gate ^ | Jan 5, 2006 | Leah Garchik

If Bill Clinton was Elvis, Hillary was the Statue of Liberty, inspired by Pelosi's triumph (more about that in a future story) and welcoming the huddled masses, who were pushing each other out of the way to take pictures with her. At night, we gathered at the National Building Museum for a celebration concert and Democratic Party fundraiser.

Things didn't end to well for Caesar. May want to use another analogy.

If she is Italian, she should be ineligible to serve in Congress. That is a right reserved for Americans.

Rome burned. A fire in DC is a forgone conclusion.

"Most powerful Italian since Caesar"...with the brains of Caligula's proposed consul's hindquarters.

I believe Al was born in Brooklyn. Charlie Lucky was born in Sicily.

The most powerful Italian in America [and maybe since Caesar] was Salvatore Lucania, better known as Charles 'Lucky' Luciano.

Il is masculine. :o)

I never studied Italian articles but should have caught that. Still, I like Il better than La. It conveys several incongruous ideas at once.

Mussolini......



Sorry Pelosi, you are just a leader of a small majority, not the head of a country.



If you want to be a tyrant, you WILL end up the same way Mussolini (and Caesar) did.......

If she were a Republican, the MSM would be comparing her to Mussolini.

Oh, you have no idea about "our" Nancy, she is Italian to the core and learned politics at her daddy's knee in Baltimore where he served both in congress and 12 years as mayor... she was actually his "enforcer" from the time she was a child and if people didn't pay up, they recived no favors.. that is one reason the picture of her with the baby is so darned phony, she isn't a soft grandma, she is one tough as nails cookie.
