Women are a vice? You're sounding like a republican senator there, Jim.

Still, anyone who makes Pelosi quiver in fear can't be all bad.

Hilarious! There's Hillary's cabal making friends and influencing people. No, Hillz, you aren't controlled by special (rich) interests! And I'm sure Nancy will love this letter. I'm sure she'll settle down after reading that work of literature.

I wish I were in the room when Nancy received this missive. Steam pouring out of ears, top of head exploding.

Catfight!!!

"The world is an evil place, controlled by money, oil, liquor, Hollywood, and women."

Let's not malign liquor.

Wow, that quote is about as subtle as a severed horse head between the sheets.

is there some superlative of shameless? We seem to be running out of words these days (and rendering satire irrelevant).

"Put down the previous comments and back away, Pelosi!" the Hillary camp demanded.

They're feeling uppity because President Hu Jintao of China has got their back.

@Pupster: Catfight indeed - can't nance and hilldog work out their problems in a steel cage match ore something?

Can I point out that Bob Johnson is a piece of shit? I would guess that Aaron McGruder would vote for Obama just because Bob Johnson is a Hillz supporter.

@FoggyFroggy: no, no, only Negroes can be uppity. They are feeling entitled. Maybe frisky.

damn, this shit makes me sick to my stomach. i'll think of snark later.

@FloraWay: oh, whoops, if it is that Bob Johnson (BET Bob), then I retract my statement. HE can feel uppity.

You would think that almost half the votes could approach half the money, but if they really wanted to threaten Pelosi, the letter would've read: "As the current highest-ranking woman in American history, anything not keeping to the spirit of the system...."

@FoggyFroggy:
Let's not forget the second page of the letter, where Bernie Schwartz details how he plans, if she loses, to get our friends in China to just go ahead and invade and make her President for Life anyway. She'd be like Pu Yi was for the Japanese in Manchuria.

@WarGames: Shit, I put my money on Nancy. She didn't become the most powerful woman in politics and herd over 400 asshole congresspeople because she's a fucking lightweight. If it comes to a knifefight, Hillary won't fucking know what hit her.

i'm so proud to be a democrat! instead of dick cheney and haliburton we have a some fucker named Susie Tompkins Buell and an feline friend who was booted out of LOLcats for being a fat douche.

Anybody who lives in NYC knows what a scumbag Steven Rattner is. Douche real estate developer, totally corrupt. Likes using eminent domain to kick people out of their homes so he can build ugly malls. The kind of asshole you actually want to drop dead.

Bob Johnson. Bob Fuckin Johnson. Bob "BET does not represent black people or the black experience unless you live in a strip club" Johnson.

Why do they continue to ask this man to speak? Do they realize how much black people who actually know who he is hate him? We. hate. him.

Bernard Schwartz is actually a really nice man and a good guy.

The rest of this list can go fuck themselves.

@Pupster: No shit. If Hillary can claim 35 years of being in the same room as Bill "experience", then Nancy has that beat in spades - her dad was the Mayor of Baltimore. She knows knives.

@Hart88: This is starting to get fun. Obama's a nice guy, too nice to really go for the jugular. But Nancy's a different story. Those shittards obviously don't know what they are dealing with.

They made her angry. And you don't want to see her angry.

@lovelyivy: I'd be curious to see who Sheila Johnson was supporting, if she is, because she hates Bob, too. Doing pretty well without him, however!

@lovelyivy: Well, other than basically arming the Chinese.

So that must be Susie Buell driving around San Francisco with the ONLY "Hillary" bumper sticker I have seen so far this year!

@lovelyivy:
well bearnard schwartz has been hanging out with rich douche bags and by signing the letter is acting like one, therefore that makes bernie one too.

I was just enjoying the WashingtonPost.com commenters. Wow, what a mess of retardation.

With friends like this! If they truly wanted to help the Hitlery they would have used their $400.6 Gillions to go back in time and make that airplane in Bosnia do a screwball landing thingy- or whatever it was supposed to have done that she lied about a million times. Instead, they are writing *LETTERS*! It gives us, the law-abiding filthy rich who think there is art and beauty to buying ourselves an election, a bad name.

It is a sad day in America when you can't even intimidate the Speaker of the House. I blame the immigrants.

@Botswana Meat Commission FC: I can't go there anymore, it is way too scary.

@Botswana Meat Commission FC:
yeah, the WPost needs ken layne to ban some of their commenters.

i never know how many of those are real loyalists to their candidates and how many are just low end campaign staffers posting on blogs for minimum wage.

@Botswana Meat Commission FC: can you believe Teh Crazy over there? I have stopped reading because it makes my stomach hurt. My husband noted that Tony the Tiger probably hangs out there where he is not banned.

Bernard Schwartz is far too old to have an opinion about anything. I am demoting him from his Corporate Overlord status.

Nothing good ever comes from threatening Italian ladies.

@Doglessliberal: I saw a photo of her at South Carolina State in Orangeburg, where she gave a speech in support of Obama a few days after the whole thing with Bob broke.

all the signatories are going to be found dead, with cannolis stuffed down their throats and bound with expensive silk scarves that perfectly coordinate with their outfits.

@Doglessliberal:
Whoops! I was calling her "Stella", so no wonder I couldn't find the link.

@Doglessliberal: have you ever been to the comments on Chris Sizzila's politics blog on Washpo? Make your brain explode Goes like this:

1. Reasoned argument
2. Reasoned response
3. Not so reasoned response
4. DUMBocrats.
5. ReTHUGlicans.
6. Surrender to terrorists.
7. Bush=Hitler.

@Magister: ah, so she parted ways with Bob "I Think Booty Sells" Johnson on this issue, too.

Looks like some rich assholes are really accustomed to getting their way. Who'd have thought?
So did Nancy Pelosi release the letter, or do these people honestly not think they look like enourmous douchebags?

Personally, I think not having Nancy Pelosi's endorsement works in HRC's favor. That's like having Jeremiah Wright on your side. Yeesh, same for Barbara Boxer.

@BaconCat: oh my god,yes! And you are OK, thinking "hey, we have an actual dialogue here with differing opinions" and then WHOMP, nutsos arrive.

@confusionanddelay: Uhhh, Pelosi's pretty damn rich herself. I doubt this matters.

Nancy should show everyone what a pair of brass balls really looks like by caling a press conference, reading this letter, endorsing Barack Obama, and walking out without taking questions.

you can read the letter here:

@BoHan:
uhm, dude, this is a democratic party primary, not the GOP one. nancy does have plenty of pull, and particularly among the political types that the superdelegates are (such as house members).

At least I learned that Tony Curtis was born Bernard Schwartz, so something good came out of all that Googling.

@TJBeck: If Nancy has pair of brass ones, she's saving them for her own party, because she's given it up like a catholic school girl as house speaker the last year and a half.

@BoHan: Dude, Pelosi HATES the Clintons with a white hot passion. She will take this opportunity to BURY them. Like out in NJ somewhere where no one will find the bodies. AND she'll take the cannolis.

@BoHan: What I like is that two months ago, the anti-war folks was talking smack about Pelosi because she she wouldn't force an end to the war and several months before that, the anti-Bush crowd was down on her because she took impeachment off the table.

Just hypothetically, if the superdelegates did in fact ignore the pledged delegates, the popular vote, etc and "back whichever candidate they believe would be the party's best nominee", wouldn't Hillary loose in a landslide?

@magneticfields: lose, not 'loose'.

The time for trench warfare is over. The strategy should now be to lull the Hillarytards to sleep and distract them with targetted entertainment (reruns of Cocoon, trips to the beach, coverage of the weather, musical theater.)

@Gopherit: Women aren't a vice, but they sometimes work vice! Not that I'm talking from personal experience or anything...

again the clinton camp isn't very good at math;
(1+ mill obama donors) x ($50 to 100) = an amount of money that would make them entirely irrelevant.

Hillary threatens your cat, and then makes good on that threat. Now the cats are catfighting for the Clinton. Granted they are fat ones, but still, when will we cats learn our lesson not fight ourselves. We need a real big cat, a LION (Obama obviously-- a great lion name, probably is Luo for lion), not one of those Hillary a.o.l. cats with poor grammar.

"We therefore urge you to clarify your position on superdelegates and reflect in your comments a more open view to the optional independent actions of each of the delegates at the national convention in August."

So, they're telling Nance that she should instruct the superdelegates to either vote for Hillaryous at the convention, or for McCain in November?

"Money changes everything:" Cyndi Lobster

@Gopherit: Have you noticed that this list is a bit long? About the only thing in Washington that doesn't scare Pelosi is Harry Reid. If she wasn't afraid of the hillz she'd of already just come out for Obama.

@magneticfields: nodoubtaboudit

@magneticfields: Don't you see that she is such a selfish bitch that it's not even about her winning anymore, but everyone else on the planet LOSING? That's a loser's winning strategy.

I just went to the Obama website and donated $100. I wish I could afford more, but it was still very soothing.

Didn't the Congressional Catfight establish that the Bal'mer Gal is the toughest (remaining) broad in Congress? Or do we need to have a new match because Clinton wasn't in the running?

@metropolitan: Well yes, but the good thing is that he gives it away too. A lot. To good folks.

A whole lot.

That much philanthropic support can buy a lot of my blindness to douchebaggery.

I mean really, a lot.

@Doglessliberal: the ones that annoy me the most are the ones that make big speeches about how this is their final point and you'll never hear from them again because they're tired of all the hate, and then they respond three posts later.

@Doglessliberal: also, I'm an Obama man myself, but the republican hatred of 'Hitlery Cunton' actually secretly makes me want her to win, just so their balls will shrivel up and die on the vine.

@lovelyivy: To clarify, We, who are intelligent. Hate. Him.

@BaconCat: yes, you keep thinking, please, this time let them be telling the truth about leaving.

@Doglessliberal: and yet the tide, they come back for wave after wave of stupid.

@BaconCat: sort of like the tide on the NJ beaches when there has been a large medical waste dump up off NYC recently.

@Rob_Peter_to_Pay_Paultard: @lovelyivy:

We, with souls...also in that camp.
