Last week, the Washington "Moonie" Times wrote a story saying that, in effect, that Nancy Pelosi requested that the Air Force provide her flights to and from Washington whenever she actually deigns to come home to the City by the Bay. The story is potentially embarrassing to Pelosi as it plays on the caricature of her being shrewish bitch who requests military planes while our brave sons and daughters are dying to fight the war on terror even though Iraq has nothing to do with it and even Republicans wish the war would end but they're still going to stop non-binding resolutions to stop it. Or something like that. As these things tend to happen, the story got out into the Republican echo chamber and you know what happens whenever that occurs-- the press has to cover it like it's an important story. Also, so called blabber mouths in politics and cable news spout it off like it's the unbridled truth without actually investigating it. ...

Okay, don't say we didn't warn you, but.... Radar Online just posted pictures of the Governor from some sort of affair in the early 80's. It's pretty NSFW not in a naked Arnie kind of way but in a what Arnie is doing kind of way. We'll also give you the link of a discussion of it on Oh No They Didn't because it includes other NSFW-related pictures of our Governor. Let's just say you'll see more of any politician than you'd ever possibly want to see. And yes, better Arnie than Dennis Hastert. ...

We have to disagree with VH-1's "Best Week Ever" about saying Little Richard had the Best Week Ever because we thought Osama Bin Laden totally did. Why Osama Bin Laden? Because we've heard his name mentioned more in the past week than we've heard in the past year. In fact, the Osama is so hot right now that no politician could go without mentioning his name. Including Nancy Pelosi...

Dick and George may have thought they were getting off scott-free a few weeks ago when Sean Elsbrend decide to move Chris Daly's impeachment measure to the rules committee, but they were wrong. Oh so wrong. Because yesterday, your San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted by a 7-3 measure to impeach Bush AND Cheney. For those keeping score at home, that would mean your new President would be Dennis Hastert. Said Daly during the vote, "I think the case (for impeachment) is clear, and I think it's appropriate for us to weigh in." Look for the Board of Supes to also weigh in on the UAE port deal, social security reform, and "American Idol." ...

We San Franciscan's like to think that we come from a brave and hearty stock. Constantly living under the fear of the next Big One, we're the inheritors of a proud tradition of frontiersmen, sailors, miners, and hookers- the whole "Deadwood" c----sucking crowd. Which is why were a bit chagrined to read how our congresswoman, our representative as it were, handled the emergency evacuation of Capitol Hill yesterday. According to the Washington Post (via a tip by Wonkette), Nancy Pelosi was so encumbered by her "pinkish" high-heels that the Capitol police had to lift her out of them so they could evacuate her, causing the House Minority Leader to lose one of her heels. Luckily, shoe and congresswoman were soon reunited, which we don't think we can say about Nancy and her dignity. We also can't but help sigh over how it looks that the leader of a party commonly depicted as being nothing but a bunch spinelessness, brie-eating, elitists, had to be carried out by the police due to their fashionable shoes. After all, could you imagine Dick Cheney being carried out because of his shoes? Tom DeLay? Dennis Hastert? Sadly, we think not. ...
