I’m SO looking forward to the gutter level knife fights over Pelosi’s leadership! Tragically a great deal of them will be behind closed doors, but enough sewage will leak out for us to get a strong smell of what’s happened. It can’t be pretty – or in any way helpful to Emperor Obama.

The fast-evaporating dregs of power mean that the few dems left in the house will be snarling at each other like starving dogs. Stock up on popcorn now!

Exactly, Mr Frank.

There is another benefit of Reid’s re-election, since the GOP did not take the Senate. It keeps Schumer out of the Majority Leader position.

In my opinion, “Scummy” Schumer is more putrid even than Reid, but smarter.

Having Pelosi and Reid as the continuing TV face of the Democrats is a gift. It could even push some of the blue dogs to switch parties.

Alex: Maybe we should try to convince Friedman to praise the advantages of Japan, rather than China, for the next few columns. At lest it would make the NYT more amusing.

There are a lot of good reasons why a parliamentary system would be a bad idea for the US, but at least Pelosi can be grateful we don’t have one, or her resignation would be virtually automatic.

Of course, she should also be grateful that we aren’t Japan where, after presiding over this kind of disaster, she’d have no honorable choice but to remove herself from the world.

Pelosi represents a certain type of SF thinking: forget about bad schools, unfunded pensions, defying federal immigration laws, and businesses leaving the state. Instead concentrate on legalizing drugs and banning Happy Meals. Pelosi, go home where you belong.

There is no common ground for compromiss: values and perspectives of TP and Leftist core of today Democrats are diametrically opposite. Now politics is a zero sum game, each side looking for total political destruction of its opponents. Pelosi without gavel is more usefull for Reps as a scarecrow than to Dems as a leader.
