This is the sort of chaos that chump bloggers like me live for.
Here’s the obligatory post on San Fran Nan, nobody’s favorite Democrat. I don’t make that claim lightly. This is a woman who appears to make enemies rather easily. She’s dissed people in her own party, Jane Harmon for example, who’s pretty rational on matters of intelligence. Steny Hoyer reportedly can’t stand her and her management style is apparently Busybody 2.0.
As we know by now, she’s picked a very direct – and very public – fight with the CIA. This is a peeing contest of the first magnitude. Hope ‘n Change is playing it cool, very cool. He doesn’t want to get hit by either stream.
This cannot end well for Pelosi. DCI Panetta’s fired back and she’s at a distinct tactical disadvantage. There’s no way that she can know the full extent of the information the agency is prepared to leak on her. The agency is, after all, the keeper of the secrets. Take them on at your peril. Whether this imbroglio costs her the speakership remains to be seen.
But in the meantime, watching Nan twist, squirm and dissemble has high entertainment value. And in honor of the esteemed Speaker, here’s the Wicked Witch melting after being doused with water, not pee.
