ok, watching Nancy Pelosi and I must tell my Nancy Pelosi story.
For I knew Nancy when she was but a young adolescent wearing the perfectly pleated skirts of a Catholic high school.
I know Palin called Pelosi and idiot but it’s deeper.
Pelosi is the daughter of Mayor Tommy D’Alesandro, former and very corrupt Mayor of Baltimore. The D’Alesandros ruled Baltimore, easily, and the D’Alesandros did what they do.
My father was a shop steward in Baltimore local Carpenters union 101. As such he got the job of remodeling the D’Alesandros Little Italy home. I went with my Dad to help him sometimes and Nancy would come home from school.
D’Alesandro was a great fan of the Baltimore construction unions and no wonder. Come election day, the union guys, especially the electricians, would go to the voting place and somehow would zap all the voting machines to make them read whatever D’Alesandro wanted them to read.
Nancy was a spoiled brat child. I’d watch her throw stuff across the room when her mother told her no for something. She’d go pout to her father who always gave her her way. I was only about 11-12 years old but I despised her, thought she was nothing but a brat. Heaven forbid I should ever talk to her, which I had to once in a while, because she’d lift up her nose and act all snooty.
The voting machines were old-fashioned things, I don’t know how they worked, but the union guys always made them read the way that would keep the D’Alesandros in power. Nancy’s brother was also very active in Baltimore politics in the day.
Pelosi’s not an idiot. She’s used to getting her way and she moved cross country to be somewhere else where she could rule and ignore to suit her, her children, all the D’Alesandros....and if the little guy benefits, well so okay but Pelosi could care less about that.
The idiots in the Pelosi story are those who voted for her. She’s just enjoying the benefits is all.
Did her reflections show up in a mirror and did she come out to play in the day time with other kids? Two surefire signs of one's heritage!
Gov Palin called her a dingbat.
