How Nancy Pelosi’s Staff Is Spending Its Time

by Jim Newell  2:09 pm January 13, 2009

Look it’s Nancy Pelosi’s official YouTube “Cat Cam”! Nancy what the hell! (And thank you for the informational annotation at the end, we get it, you’re hip for an older lady.) [YouTube]

Certainly not the last time we’ll be rick-rolled by Nancy the Pelosi.

Tommmcatt January 13, 2009 at 2:13 pm

It just doesn’t compare with Dick Cheney’s little-known “Piranha Cam” , does it?

Gopherit January 13, 2009 at 2:14 pm

Rick-roll’d by Nancy Pelosi? I have reached a new official low. Thx wonkette.

shanemacgowan January 13, 2009 at 2:14 pm

Newt never rickrolled anyone.

jagorev January 13, 2009 at 2:15 pm

That’s quite possibly the funniest thing a Speaker of the House has ever done, in history.

BillyClubb January 13, 2009 at 2:16 pm

Oh the fancy Klezmer music that plays along in the background, and…. oh… you rickrolling bastards!!

jagorev January 13, 2009 at 2:16 pm

Also, doesn’t this mean Nancy Pelosi has violated the DMCA, which she quite possibly voted for?

Dave J. January 13, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Shark = jumped.

This is like that time my mom asked if I watched Curb Your Enthusiasm.

jagorev January 13, 2009 at 2:18 pm

From now onwards, adoption by the Speaker of the House will mark the official death of a meme. I can’t wait till she returns amendments proposed by Republicans with a giant red FAIL stamped on top.

demtard January 13, 2009 at 2:19 pm

An old woman and her cats. Original.

user-of-owls January 13, 2009 at 2:21 pm

Bet the F#$%* You, Penguin guy could have some fun with this.

medievalist January 13, 2009 at 2:22 pm

[re=217525]jagorev[/re]: In that case, thank God she’s finally put it in its grave. They even had a rickroll at the damn Macy’s parade.

shortsshortsshorts January 13, 2009 at 2:23 pm

RICKROLL= in the grave. Over. Should have elected Sheehan (wait did I just say that?)

assistant/atlas January 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm

Wait until the right wing hears about how much Nancy loves her pussy.

[re=217525]jagorev[/re]: Know where I can get one of those FAIL stamps? That would be useful at work.

upsidedownpaddle January 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm

Wow, Dennis Kucinich sure looked hungry.

Lascauxcaveman January 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm

Awwww… cats R sure cute!

hrhkingfriday January 13, 2009 at 2:28 pm

Why aren’t you liveblogging Hillary’s hearing?? SEXISTS.

facehead January 13, 2009 at 2:28 pm

Stupid pussies.

Here’s what her staff REALLY does with their time:

earthadellic January 13, 2009 at 2:30 pm

this video sucks, download crayon physics now.

finallyhappy January 13, 2009 at 2:30 pm

The Sanchez sisters have a beagle that comes to the office- watch out, Speaker cats.

ManchuCandidate January 13, 2009 at 2:31 pm

We always knew the Demrats were pussies. This just proves it.

Canuckledragger January 13, 2009 at 2:32 pm

If Nancy’s into cats, WHY do the PUMAs hate her so? I thought a taste for pussy was a distinct advantage in that social circle????

Then again, I have a great fondness for pussy, and they hate ME.

Must be ‘coz I’m a dog guy.

bitchincamaro January 13, 2009 at 2:32 pm

That’s odd. If you click GO on the mortgagerelief411.com banner, it takes you directly to the same clip.

Gallowglass January 13, 2009 at 2:40 pm

That was quite an experience. I’ve studiously avoided being rickroll’d so far, but damned if you didn’t get me Madame Speaker.

Gallowglass January 13, 2009 at 2:42 pm

facehead: Ahh! Now twice in one day!

WadISay January 13, 2009 at 2:42 pm

kan i haz last 1:12 of my life back plz?

Clancy_Pants January 13, 2009 at 2:46 pm

The only thing more lame then getting Rickrolled by the Speaker of the House is having her explain it by telling us to use the Google… maybe she was thinking W might find the clip on the internets?

Dave J. January 13, 2009 at 2:46 pm

I am going to start a new meme, Nanc-jacking, in which viewers expecting to see a video clip of Rick Astley are suddenly and without warning confronted with video of Nancy Pelosi discussing a motion to recommit taken from the 2007 floor debate on the omnibus appropriations bill.

ella January 13, 2009 at 2:49 pm

Wasn’t rickrolling officially Over when he sang that stupid song in the Macy’s parade on Thanksgiving?

lawrenceofthedesert January 13, 2009 at 2:49 pm

The cats look well cared for; let’s hope the voters get some of that TLC in 2009, too.

wheelie January 13, 2009 at 2:51 pm

[re=217525]jagorev[/re]: Let’s hope she starts concluding all her quips with “Also.”, and officially kills off that friggin’ mini-meme before it gets entirely out of hand.

Packherd January 13, 2009 at 2:51 pm

Well, rick rolling is no longer a meme.

Next up: Barney Frank makes advice dogs.

jagorev January 13, 2009 at 2:52 pm

[re=217539]assistant/atlas[/re]: That is an excellent idea. I’m going to get a custom one here -

problemwithcaring January 13, 2009 at 2:53 pm

There is nothing funny about this, save for the fact that it ensures no one will ever intentionally go to that youtube channel ever again.

Deepthroat January 13, 2009 at 2:54 pm

i prefer the Beaker version

Do i seriously need to stop including links referencing every comment i post here? *ok*

jagorev January 13, 2009 at 2:54 pm

[re=217580]lawrenceofthedesert[/re]: Rest assured, boxes to poop in will be provided for the nation’s newly homeless. It’s part of the stimulus package.

sati demise January 13, 2009 at 2:58 pm

can I haz impeachmeownt?

Johnny Zhivago January 13, 2009 at 3:01 pm

What’s so funny, it was just take your cat to work day…

twingonaut January 13, 2009 at 3:02 pm

I liked the laissez-faire style of Parisian accordian music. It made me think about how life is difficult in the world, but simple pleasures can still be had. THEN when the rick was rolled I remembered how funny Jerry Lewis truly is. Pure genius!

Now I’ll sit hear with my herbal tea and enjoy it again….and again.

Buttsecks aside, I’m with you Dave-J on the Nanc-jacking…can we call it something less stomach churning?

TGY January 13, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Where are the ‘IZ IN UR OFFICE, IMPEACHIN UR DUDES’ and ‘IZ NOM NOM NOMINATIN U’ and ‘UR GAVEL HAS A SMELL’ captions?

assistant/atlas January 13, 2009 at 3:06 pm

Oh hey, I just remembered that horrible economic depression and two wars that we’re in, also … maybe Nancy can work on those before she makes more cat videos again. Also, if this was made with any taxpayer money at all, I’m becoming a deficit hawk.

AngryBlakGuy January 13, 2009 at 3:07 pm

[re=217554]ManchuCandidate[/re]: …haven’t you heard the saying , “You are what you eat”? I guess that’s why I refer to Republicans as “Dicks” and “Assholes”!

ManchuCandidate January 13, 2009 at 3:10 pm

[re=217606]AngryBlakGuy[/re]:
Heh. I guess I’m a pussy, too.

I guess you should call the Repubs, “Young boys” and “Twinks” as well.

The Cold Sea January 13, 2009 at 3:13 pm

Seriously, Nancy! You got work to do. I feel like my boss when he walks be and sees me checking out *those* sites. Time is money, Pelosi! You got time to rick-roll America, you got time to stimulus America’s package!

chascates January 13, 2009 at 3:19 pm

Cats are pretty unmanageable. It would be more appropriate for her to have a jelly-fish cam, i.e., no spine.

Deepthroat January 13, 2009 at 3:48 pm

[re=217601]TGY[/re]: WIN

jagorev January 13, 2009 at 3:49 pm

[re=217605]assistant/atlas[/re]: This was probably made by an unpaid intern. Gotta admit, as far as unpaid DC internships go, being forced to play with Nancy’s pussy is probably a lot better than any assignment the College Republican/LNS kids get.

Mustang January 13, 2009 at 3:52 pm

That was queer.

Jukesgrrl January 13, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Let me know if anyone sees her with trucknutz so I can get ready to be raptured.

Barack Like Me, Bitches January 13, 2009 at 4:31 pm

Never woulda thunkit but YouTube commentator gets teh WIN!

To witz n shitz:

mcgrewrich (25 minutes ago)

The Speaker of the House not only rickrolled you and me, but she rickrolled America, after showing us her LOLcats. But it isnt Caturday! And the LOLcats forgot to say anything! You cant do that on the Internet! The Internet is Serious Businessâ„¢. Its not a big truck(nutz). Its a series of tubes. And if you dont understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled… what happens to your own personal Internet?

saggyboobedhag January 13, 2009 at 4:41 pm

As usual, a Democrat didn’t even do it right. I don’t feel officially rick-rolled unless it’s the whole song. I mean, that dude is hot. Cutting him off like that keeps me hanging.

And couldn’t those cats flush the toilet or eat popcorn on a piano? Jaw juicing her dildo is also lame.

facehead January 13, 2009 at 5:59 pm

[re=217586]Deepthroat[/re]: That completely ruined my e-hard-on for hilarious muppet bloopers.

Scandalabra January 13, 2009 at 7:00 pm

Doesn’t the Nance know that Fuck You Penguin has already won the weblog awards?

assistant/atlas January 13, 2009 at 8:36 pm

[re=217677]jagorev[/re]: There is an awesome joke in there about the job duties of republican interns but I am too drunk to think of it right now.

fuckinredneck January 13, 2009 at 9:54 pm

I was enjoying a youtube cat video when all of a sudden that pop star Rick Astley appeared! This is some strange brand of modern humour!
