Dems debut their clown show strategy for the 216th Congress
By Thomas Lifson
Now that voters have handed them control of the House of Representatives, Democrats are forced to reveal who they are to the national electorate, and it ain’t pretty. The party has more than its share of bizarre eccentrics, able to win a local election in a deep blue district, and they are feeling their oats. They thrive on media attention, which they get because they are colorful, young, and say radical things that excite progressive journalists.
But money and power remain in the hands of the gerontocracy branch of the party, headed by Nancy Pelosi, the shrewd power player who learned her craft at the knee of the political boss of Baltimore, her father Tommy D’Alesandro, who knew a few things about money, power, and deal-making.
Her first speech as Speaker of the House this term feigned stately grace (calling the Capitol a “temple of democracy†for instance) and bipartisanship fairly effectively, and brought her grandkids to the podium at one point. However, her disturbing quirks as a public speaker were all too evident, even as she read her prepared speech.
Listen to the bizarre giggles she cannot repress as she is being applauded.
