Pelosi: The meltdown
It’s happening — opposition to Hope and Change™ is starting to take its toll. Nancy Pelosi is starting to act like somebody spiked her Botox with traces of arsenic, and the descent into paranoid madness is somewhat reminiscent of Captain Queeg on the witness stand in The Caine Mutiny:
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday ramped up her criticism of insurance companies, accusing them of unethical behavior and working to kill a plan to create a new government-run health plan.
“It’s almost immoral what they are doing,” Pelosi said to reporters, referring to insurance companies. “Of course they’ve been immoral all along in how they have treated the people that they insure,” she said, adding, “They are the villains. They have been part of the problem in a major way. They are doing everything in their power to stop a public option from happening.”
The Speaker will prove without a shadow of a doubt — and with geometric logic — that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist, but the private insurance companies took it!
Pelosi also said that private insurers oppose government health care because “they don’t want the competition.” The government doesn’t want competition either, Nance — that’s why people like Bernie Madoff are rotting in prison.
Nancy scoffs at her poll numbers (she’s tied in the popularity ratings with O.J. Simpson and genital herpes), but that certainly can’t be a comfort for her collegues up for re-election in districts that aren’t as safe as hers, and neither are polls like this:
The New York Times/CBS poll shows:
Sixty-nine percent of respondents believe Obama’s plan will hurt the quality of their own healthcare.
Seventy-three percent believe it would limit their access to tests and treatment.
Sixty-two percent believe Democrats’ proposals would require them to change doctors.
Seventy-six believe healthcare reform will lead to them paying higher taxes.
A whopping 77 percent expect their healthcare costs to rise.
Darn those private insurance companies!
Incidentally, if you vote out an old liberal pollutant next November, you’ll qualify for a rebate under the private-sector’s answer to the Cash for Clunkers program.

No.Such.Thing.
So when people try to defraud those insurance companies, they are actually doing social justice? Like Robin Hood? Cool! I could do a slip and fall with a big medical claim in Walmart and get those evil corporate retailers too, two social justice birds with one stone, ya know. Then I could sue the doctor for malpractice and really get my social activist career going. Thanks for the idea Nan!
lgm…????
Anybody else really, really wonder about the other 24%? They can’t possibly be allowed to vote, right?
So far those “villains” have managed to provide the best health care in the world, cheaper and at a profit for themselves. Sounds like it’s working the way it was designed to work. Now if the Botox Queen would just secure the borders, those “uninsureds” numbers might drop back down to where they belong.
Just sayin’.
This woman is psychotic on many levels. She’s not only a delusional paranoid, but is a pathological liar to boot.
But, her nutty constituency in San Francisco continues to re-elect her. It is truly amazing she has remained in office as long as she has. The same could be said for Babs Boxer.
One looks at all the wack-jobs from California that are in charge at the Federal level… Pelosi, Waxman, Miller, Waters, Boxer… to name a few.. and then you look at the stellar job their home state has done with the management of that state’s business.
Highest tax rates… bankrupt government… people and businesses leaving in droves… that’s what we have to look forward to on a National level if things keep going the way they are going.
Yes… the inmates are definitely in charge of the asylum.
But its Boooosh! The polls showed people blame the bad economy on Bush still. What do you know, the next day Obama is out there blaming Bush saying Obamas detractors have no shame.
The shame is on you Obama. You voted for all this stuff that you attribute to Bush. How unpresidential to blame others. That indicates a complete lack of leadership. Real leaders do not do that. They suck it up. What a shameless loser. I am beginning to hate his guts. I already can’t stand his policies. Now he is making it personal.

And yet the Democrats in the House of Representatives elected Nancy Pelosi to be the leader of the their party.
Is she the best leader the Democrats have to offer?
I often wonder what Pelosi’s husband says to her when she comes home from a long day at the office.
OK. So, what’s the problem? It’s called lobbying.
I guess in Pelosi-land you can only lobby in favor of Dem’s.
Boy if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle…
If you lobby against the Dem’s you get accusations of unethical behavior thrown at you. It’s a wonder she can accuse someone else of unethical behavior without falling over dead.
Watch and see if she looks down and to the left, down and to the left.
Hmm. Debtocraps are trotting out their new strawman/victim — insurance companies. Guess without a Katrina event on the horizon, they’ll just beat them to death.
Used to be insurance companies stock was safe as houses. Better tell grandma and Calpers.
H.Reid was on this topic today as well.
And California keeps voting this loser in.
Let’s be honest. The problem isn’t the politicians. It’s the people who keep voting for trash like Pelosi.
Most couldn’t pour pee out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel.
“Stop scaring the cat.”
At least you can control O.J. (jail) and herpes (Valtrex).
Military, Christians, Cops, Doctors, Farmers, Stock Brokers, Bankers, Insurance companies, Automobile Dealers… why is it that the only people that this bunch doesn’t insult and denigrate is Lawyers, liberals and zombies?
Oh wait, those last two are redundant. Sorry.
It didn’t take an insurance company to tell me that ObamaCare would bankrupt the nation, ration health care to seniors first and then younger folks, destroy the great Health Care industry of the US. All of it done for POWER!
I figyrerd it out myslf Pelousy, you dummy!
In one sense Comrade Pelosky is right; the insurance companies don’t face enough competition. But she is pursuing a bass-ackwards solution; replace the insurance companies with the government, thus eliminating ANY COMPETITION AT ALL!! Will someone please get this woman to the looney bin?!
And the Cain Mutiny had its court martial.
How do you bring Pelosi to answer for her crimes…high and low?
Much more “aesthetic modification” and Nancy will even LOOK like Bogey.
Great post, Doug. Queeg is the perfect analogy to Pelosi. Just like Homer Simpson fits Biden to a T.
And don’t forget President Chauncey…
And these are the people (the ones evading subpoenas right now) that want us to know how evil banks, wall street and insurance companies are.
Ran over the Trillion Dollar+ tow line (Stimulus Bill).
Turned the ship away from the beach (Cash for Clunkers Suspended).
Can’t stand the thought of citizens eating the Ice Cream (good health care) intended for the ships officers (Elite Democrats and Congress).
By the way, did anybody hear her clicking Obama’s balls during that press conference?
Hey, there you rogue bloggers!
