House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday misspoke when she said that a Democratic bill in the House on police reform, named after George Floyd, was worthy of “George Kirby’s name.”

Pelosi meant to refer to Floyd, who died in police custody last month and whose death sparked calls for reforms to policing across the country. George Kirby was a black comedian and singer who died in 1995.

‘My first thought was the ghost in the Topper movie/TV series.’

Topper was my favorite show when I was a kid; George Kirby was the name of the male ghost (Marian was his wife) who was played by actor Robert Stirling; Marian was played by the sumptuous Anne Jeffreys...the great Leo G. Carroll played Topper...

Didn’t she just take a knee for the BLM in honor of the recidivist St. Floyd? This is what happens when a politician is so obsessed with power and thinking 24/7 how to depose Trump. They are over-whelmed by their need to maintain control that their memory neurons can’t take the load.

Actually, Nancy Pelousy is showing the mental deterioration Joe Biden also suffers from. Since 120 million have died so far from COVID-19 according to Joe, we will probably all be dead before the election anyway, so... who cares?
