Nancy Pelosi has invited Paul Simon, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to join in our nation’s health care and college financial aid debates. Everyone very kindly welcome Paul, Jennifer, and the other one, Matt! These Hollywood celebrities are from out West, way out in California-Town, just like Nancy Pelosi. This is how they know each other, from California. This is also the second time in a few weeks that Pelosi invited Paul Simon to D.C. for the important legislative Beltway work of politics. “The relationships, they deepen with repeat visits,” said Paul Simon. “The more you get to know somebody the longer the conversations get.” Haha, Paul Simon.
Yesterday afternoon while other members of Congress were probably meeting with their stupid loser constituents—who have almost certainly won far, far fewer Grammys than even like, Art Garfunkel, possibly even no Grammys—Pelsoi was with Paul Simon, who, in addition to being the more talented (!) member of a certain 60s pop duo, started the Children’s Health Fund. Later she spent time with recovering famous people Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Oh and Jane Pauley was around for some or all of this, if that’s the sort of thing that’s possibly of interest to anyone anywhere.
Jane Pauley! I loathe Deborah Norville. Can’t believe she slept with Garry Trudeau and then took over the Today show. I just won’t watch it anymore.
OMG, GOP! You need to get a booty as, um, well rounded as J-Lo’s to counter this libtarded take over booty. A Contarded booty. Judging by the photos of the Teabagging of DC, I’d say, all of them.
He calls her Betty, and can call him Al.
This is very disturbing news. Nancy Pelosi is obviously in cahoots(!) with Big Folk Pop and the Romans.
She loves him like a rock.
Wake me up when she’s lunching with Jack and Meg White.
Is that really Nancy Pelosi? Or is it her Spitting Image puppet?
Goodbye, Silence, my old friend.
ManchuCandidate: Paula Dean?
What year is this? A nation turns its lonely eyes to who?
“The relationships, they deepen with repeat visits,” said Paul Simon. “The more you get to know somebody the longer the conversations get.”
I think my mind is blown.
Me and Nancy, down by the schoolyard (providing heath care to medically underserved children)
Feels almost like a loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires.
“The more you get to know somebody the longer the conversations get.”
That’s actually not true at all, and just the opposite.
Anyway, “April, Cum She Will”, Paul?? Hmmm…??
everything looks worse in black and white.
@ Car Ramrod;
Pauler Deen is a Democrat, honey! She lunched with Jimmy Carter (”Mr. Jimmy”) and featured his recipe for baked ham in one of her cookbooks!
“Love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal” Where’s Phil Ochs when we need him?
Do I have to do everything around here?
Today, we are all diamonds on the soles of her shoes.
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes, man.
If he were a Repub, he could have lunched with the Hammer, rather than the Nail
Paul Simon’s masterpiece: Graceland
Graceland: African Music
African Music: NOBAMA
NOBAMA: AFRICAN!11
Nancy, you’re breaking my heart.
You’re shaking my confidence daily.
Oh, and re: Nancy’s pic… the resemblance isuncanny!
Nancy will get a special box for Paul to stand on so the other Senators can see him.
Jim Demintia: magic titty: The relationships, they deepen with repeat visits,” said Paul Simon. “The more you get to know somebody the longer the conversations get.”
I thought it was “absence makes the heart grow fonder”, and its obverse, “familiarity breeds contempt.”
Square Deal: WIN!
In the clearing stands a Boxer… Oh, sorry, that’s the other California politichick
freakishlystrong: The four degrees of Paul Simon?
Oooo, what a night!
Oh, what a garden of delight.
Even now, that sweet memory lingers.
I’m just lying ‘neath the stars (of the Capitol Dome)
Playing my guitar,
And thanking the Lord for my fingers, for my fingers.
They’ve all come to look for (a long-term solution to higher education and healthcare costs in) America.
Was Edie Brickell there? Because I’d hit that (with a Febreze smart bomb … she stinks of patchouli).
Perhaps Pelosi can tie down Boehner and Cantor to chairs then make Paul and Jennifer sing “like a bridge over troubled water” over and over-until Jenny gets it right- then perhaps the two guys will finally come out of the closet and ask forgives for being dick all this time.
True funny story: my ex-wife, a total conservatard who had other redeeming merits, met Mme Pelosi about 10 years ago at some fund-raiser when she (NP) was a relative back-bencher. Expecting to hate her, my ex was instead totally charmed. The lesson is: these people don’t rise to power because they’re stupid or lazy.
Except for Bush — because Rich>Smart or Beautiful or Intelligent or Charming.
Now I’m depressed.
Can’t wait for the pictures of Nancy carrying Paul Simon around the house floor on her hip.
I met my old Speaker on the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled.
And we talked about some old times
and we drank ourselves some beers
She’s still crazy after all these years.
hahaha, great song lines. As a registered old- yes, AARP- I saw Paul Simon appear inconcert last year at the AARP convention in DC. Nancy Pelosi was not there feelin’ groovy .
Wow, a lot of people living in the past are finding an unseemly amount of pleasure in typing tired old Simon and Farfunkle lyrics. This infects mine eyes. Why not join the modern world, where a good few of us go around humming Capeman songs?
Didn’t Paul Simon die in 2003? Dick Durbin took his seat in the Senate back in the 80s right?
Um…I meant 90s.
He’s interested in health care, because there’s nothing but the dead and dying back in his little town. He said so a while back, but he might be crazy after all these years.
Yes, yes, but do they have a groovy thing going, baby?

Dilaceratus: Who do you think you’re foolin’?
You’ve got to…spank the monkey.
What, no Van Halen jokes?
And Paul Simon, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony have exactly what relevance to the Health Care reform or college finance debates???
This just makes me sad for our late lamented amazing Illinois Senator, yes, Paul Simon.
Dilaceratus: Nancy should have called in Kanye West and Taylor Swift. And isn’t there someone named “Diddy” something or another?
Lascauxcaveman: Seriously, and why hasn’t Slayer weighed in with their opinion about health care?
mookworthjwilson: Senator Franken should have stopped by and done his imitation of the other Paul Simon. “I thiiiink…I made a hiiiiit….with the bow tiiiiie.”
Larry Fine: They keep that box around from back when Robert Reich needed to see over the edge of the table at cabinet meetings.
This should make teabaggers’ heads assplode, what with combining Hollywood liberals and brown people in an attempt to take away their country by providing them with health insurance.
Cape Clod: Slayer: Pro-death panel, obviously.
the problem child: I’m waiting for Nathan Explosion and the Dethklok opinion.
I used to be in love with Jane Pauley. She broke it off when she found out she was married and didn’t know me.
“The more you get to know somebody the longer the conversations get.”
Has Paul Simon never been in a relationship?
And Nancy when you call me, you can call me Al.
imissopus: Not since his relationship with Art Garfunkel. You can see why he would be leery of humans after that.
imissopus: Carrie Fisher, so he’s used to Princesses.
