Completely. Bat. Guano. Crazy.

No. Really.

Striking a tone of disgust, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi ridicules the GOP as obsessed with its loathing of President Obama and hell-bent on hurting him politically, regardless the cost. She assigns little to no blame to the president (even though Democrats privately say that’s laughable) and instead portrays him as saintly, above reproach and the victim of jealousy or something worse.

After 26 years in the House, she says, “I haven’t seen anything like it. I haven’t seen anything like it.”

Throughout a 50-minute interview on Thursday in her second-floor Capitol office, where the late Speaker Tip O’Neill used to receive supplicants, Pelosi was sharply derisive about the scorn Republicans have for this president.

“You know why it is,” she said. “You know why it is. He’s brilliant, … he thinks in a strategic way in how to get something done … and he’s completely eloquent. That’s a package that they don’t like.”

...

Then she added a line that she has used before, that drives Republicans batty: “He has been … open, practically apolitical, certainly nonpartisan, in terms of welcoming every idea and solution. I think that’s one of the reasons the Republicans want to take him down politically, because they know he is a nonpartisan president, and that’s something very hard for them to cope with.”

Nancy Pelosi represents everything, and I do mean everything, wrong with our political leadership today.

Everything.

Even for her this is laughable. Even for her this is laughable. (Evidentially if you said it twice in a row it becomes true.)

Republicans; against brilliance, eloquence and nonpartisanship…clean water and air, education, old people, kids, puppy dogs…basically all things that are good and decent. We just basically hate.

Yes, she and most of the national leadership is terrible, but that is precisely what this past Sunday's Gospel was about. The "wealthy man" is God, we are the incompetent, inefficient, stewards, and people like Nancy Peloci are the debtors. Are we willing to "Pay-off" some of her debt, because she has acquired a huge debt she has no knowledge of, by fasting, sacrificing our comfort, and praying for her? She can cause us great harm and it would be wise for us to expedite her conversion with our sacrifice and prayer. Now do you understand the meaning of this Sunday's Gospel?
