Cloverfield cinematographer…

Maybe she could start a band with Condi – they could call themselves The Shoulda-Been-Doing-Their-Day-Jobs

Harry Reid plays the flute also – his is named “John Boehner”…

Whoa. Pelosi playing the flute? Is this NSFW?

I just gave $20 to the National Endowment for People to Never Zoom in That Close on Politicians’ Faces Ever

hmmm… digging the “creative” angles…

Thank you, Nancy, for putting in a good word for the NEA’s Quarters-for-Buskers program. It’s sure to stay in the bill now. Unless, of course, Susan Collins wants it out.

Godard also used to always place his subjects in the bottom left hand corner of the frame with their chins cut off, especially when he was filming shit-faced and high.

Investing in the arts creates jobs? Not if you’re any indicator of it, Mrs. I-Had-Nine-Years-Of-Piano-Lessons-And-Still-Unable-To-Become-Pianist.

I’m sure her parents are embarrassed to have raised such a child.

Fucking tease. When it said that Pelosi supports the arts, I thought this would be a profanity laden rant from some right wing nutter about how Pelosi voted to fund a photographer to take pix of some guy with some other guy’s fist up his ass, or something. Instead, it’s about what it says it’s about. Who has time for this?

Start with Camera Use 101.

liz February 13, 2009 at 3:59 pm

@matthewbrook @tgy – I hear you. I was holding the camera and the mic and the receiver so sorry if it’s a little willy nilly.

SayItWithWookies February 13, 2009 at 4:09 pm

[re=243434]liz[/re]: Pay your Philistine critics no mind — I was sorta hoping you’d keep edging the camera up until Pelosi was on her tippy toes with nothing showing below the tops of her eyes in an everything’s-over-my-head metaphor.

liz February 13, 2009 at 4:16 pm

@ sayitwithwookies her brows are almost there.

stink, but February 13, 2009 at 4:17 pm

Dear fucking lord, I refuse to even click play on this horror show based solely on the still image of Rep. Skeletor there.

Tommmcatt February 13, 2009 at 4:29 pm

There’s no way I am clicking that link. I absolutely refuse to be Rickrolled ever again.

WhatTheHeck February 13, 2009 at 4:34 pm

The cinematography, or lack thereof, is a direct result of 8 years of republican disdain for the arts. Fuckers.
At least now we can live in hope of playing the flutes once more.

Click that link and you’ll wish you had been Rickrolled.

nosnikreplliw February 13, 2009 at 6:15 pm

i normally look at every video posted on this fine site. that one looks horrible, so i’m not going to.

skyinator February 13, 2009 at 6:49 pm

Isn’t Queen of the Tundra, Sarah P. also a floutist? Also.

Lascauxcaveman February 13, 2009 at 8:31 pm

[re=243657]skyinator[/re]: Since she regularly flouts her state’s written ethics code (at the very least), I would say yes.

She has also played flute in the past, making her a flautist as well. Or maybe that was Tina Fey. Also.

Flaming O February 13, 2009 at 9:32 pm

She says she played the piano and when that didn’t work out she started playing the “flute”? And she went to a Catholic school as a child? No wonder she is for public funding of the arts.

demtard February 13, 2009 at 11:03 pm

[re=243657]skyinator[/re]: Wrong flute.

assistant/atlas February 14, 2009 at 2:40 am

[re=243434]liz[/re]: I haven’t seen camera work this bad since the episode of Life Goes On that Corky directed.

assistant/atlas February 14, 2009 at 2:42 am

[re=243434]liz[/re]: Also. Sorry.

assistant/atlas February 14, 2009 at 2:51 am

Finally also, I can’t wait for the day Pelosi snaps. That will be awesome. I’m guessing she will rip Boehner’s spinal column from his body, Mortal Kombat-style, or try to post-birth abort Trig.

One time in band camp…

NoNewKidontheBlock February 14, 2009 at 12:43 pm

WTF Putosi…. I am just f#$%^ing speechless. Does this mean museums are going to offer no-charge free access one day at week ????

what’s next …. Are we going to bailout the zoos and the whore houses too?

AxmxZ February 14, 2009 at 3:50 pm

[re=243918]NoNewKidontheBlock[/re]: Hey, maybe your local whore house can offer no-charge free access one day a week, too!
