The Pelosification of Congress

(2007-01-04) — Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, became the first female Speaker of the House today, and immediately called for a ban on abortion to promote social justice because almost 60 percent of aborted children are ethnic minorities.

“It took a long time to get a woman Speaker,” said Rep. Pelosi, “because we killed off 30-to-40 million potential Democrat voters in the last 35 years. Otherwise, by now we could have had a black lesbian Speaker, universal tax-funded healthcare, and a ban on ownership of guns, personal automobiles and private investment accounts.”

The Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling, she said, was “a Republican plot to wipe out non-white racial groups, especially the poor, and thus to slow the growth of the Democrat party.” -- As reported by satirist Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

Ok, so this may be satirical, but the "Pelosification" of Congress should provide all manner of writers and bloggers endless material right up to the 2008 election. It will be very interesting to see just how Nancy Pelosi manages to migrate her party to the center and keep the extremists well behaved for two years!
