Whatever her personal politics, it is clear that as speaker she is hostage to the big dollar donors in her official capacity as Speaker, and her obsession with “pay-go” is a disaster for the party and the country.
That being said, her characterization of Trump’s wall proposal as a, “Beaded Curtain,” is brilliant:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) joked in a recent interview that President Trump‘s proposal for a wall along the southern border has shifted from a cement structure to a “beaded curtain.”
“First of all, the fact … that he says, ‘We’re going to build a wall with cement, and Mexico’s going to pay for it’ while he’s already backed off of the cement — now he’s down to, I think, a beaded curtain or something, I’m not sure where he is,” Pelosi said in an interview with USA Today published Tuesday.
I love it.
The virtual of Pelosi, is she has more balls than the rest of the house leadership — and Obama — put together.
I'd add the Senate leadership in terms of total balls, but the rest of the House leadership is largely an artifact of her extended tenure as leader of the House Dems, which indicates a problem.
