   As is the case with anything bearing the name of Nancy Pelosi, you’ll have to buy it first in order to find out what’s in it.

   Classic.

   It probably contains a pocket Constitution.

   No, not this Constitution, but rather this Constitution.

    I’m guesing less than 10% after expenses and Pelosi’s cut for the use of her name are deducted.

    Isn’t it missing a hammer and cycle emblem?

    Stare closely at the arrangement of the letters and use your imagination to envision that emblem. Don’t want to be obvious just yet….but give ‘em time. Its such a beloved symbol of the progressives.

    I See how the “Team” can be the hammer, but how do you see the “Pelosi” as the sickle? Yes, it curves, but it’s convex and near the top, not concave and near the bottom.

    But it certainly could be “inspired” by the hammer and sickle design.

    Usually just the reverse for the leftist elitists – they think the people are the joke. And for too many people (like 52% in 2008), there may be some truth to it for the leftists like Pelosi who keep laughing at the joke(behind the voters back) every time they are reelected to office.

    If $400 isn’t too much to pay for some truly ugly FLOTUS shoes, then $65 is a bargain and remember, democrat candidate supporters, at least 65 cents of your purchase is going for a good cause.

    $65? I think my wife makes this kind of thing (with extra pockets) for about $3. Then again, hers doesn’t have the signature of some hoity toity designer. But when she does make one, it is an extremely limited edition.

    As Furstenberg explains in a mass e-mail sent out today, proceeds from sales of her “limited edition tote bag” will go to “support Speaker Pelosi and courageous House Democrats who are under increased attack

    I’ll buy one as soon as someone can show me a “Courageous House Democrat”. They’re all cowards.

    On the other hand, it would make a good “green” shopping bag or, if I buy 4 of them I could pack out an elk.
