Sound And Fury, Signifying Nothing

There are more than 200 different species of Jellyfish. Jellyfish are invertebrates and they come in different shapes and sizes.

Seems appropriate somehow...]

It's more than a little ironic, I think, that I first spotted Nancy Pelosi's new memoir Know Your Power, in a bookstore last week, and now I read this:

New details in a high profile case of politics and prosecution. Democrat Don Siegelman has good news from last week's Democratic National Convention. Be sure to see the accompanying photo from Denver. You can see Governor Siegelman on the left, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the right, and Democratic activist Pam Miles in the middle.

Miles tells NewsChannel 19, about the time the picture was snapped, Pelosi promised Governor Siegelman, "We will hold rove in contempt".

Pelosi's Promise to Siegelman at Democratic Convention

I can hear them laughing in the White House right now. Go ahead, Rep. Pelosi, I can hear them saying in between bouts of hysterical giggling, we'll throw that warrant right in the same burn bag where we have all the others.

Pelosi took impeachment off the table. When she did that, she gave up the one power she had to enforce the laws of this country if the President decides not to follow them. How fucking hypocritical can someone be before they simply collapse in on themselves and blow away in a puff of smudgy smoke? Apparently, it takes quite a lot.

Ms. Pelosi isn't imploding yet.

UPDATE: Jane Hamsher had a quote a while back that applies as much here as it did to FISA:

"I'm very upset with my party right now," Hamsher says. "They were given the majority, and they have a 9 percent approval rating right now for a reason."

If they're after better approval ratings, they're going about it all wrong, that's for sure.
