Pelosi’s Stable
[Guest post by DRJ]
“New bulls strengthen speaker’s stable
Levin, Dicks and Waxman are part of the new guard working with Pelosi.”
What rhetoric! But it produces powerful images, which is probably the point. Permit me to rephrase this slightly since, where I live, bulls aren’t typically found in stables. Thus, some might think of three powerful stallions pulling a chariot with Pelosi cracking the whip. Others might think of Pelosi as the trainer with her three studs. The point seems to be that Pelosi holds the reins and her men are full of strength and vigor.
Of course, if Pelosi is running a stable, I know what Nevadan Harry Reid runs.

Heh! Bulls are not led by a cow. Steers maybe.
nk (db4a41) — 5/6/2010 @ 7:39 pmI’m sorry, but Henry Waxman, Sander Levin and Norman Dicks as “new bulls” is really not an image I can get my head around–or want to get my head around. What’s next, Nancy Pelosi as rodeo queen?

ROFL!!!!
GeneralMalaise (3d45b5) — 5/6/2010 @ 7:50 pmLet me qualify my first comment. There is a way a cow can “lead” bulls. Gaahh!
nk (db4a41) — 5/6/2010 @ 8:00 pmThis is just embarrassing… I think the “new bulls” attempted imagery completely fails. Words are one thing but when you add the context it can change their impact dramatically. So considering the individuals that are being referred to as new bulls, it just becomes an unintended joke worthy of mockery.

JD (150c8d) — 5/6/2010 @ 8:34 pmi can certainly see Pelosi as a cow….. i just can’t imagine milking her.

JD beat me to it, but my line was going to be “I’ll give you a clue, DRJ: they are legal in certain small counties within Nevada.”
JVW (bf4fc7) — 5/6/2010 @ 10:05 pmThese “New Bulls” have been around so long that they’ve forgotten everything about being a bull–except for making excrement.
But I guess the Politico reporter was reaching for an image.

Pardonnez Moi “bad ingles”…. Moi believed nags lived in le stable, not supervised them…??

The priciest, perhaps. Nancy’s is bigger for certain.
No, not her substitute penis… The number of whores plying their wares at any one time.
Le Fou Frenchie (79d71d) — 5/7/2010 @ 12:48 am— Nobody wants to milk that cow.
— New bulls, same old bullshit.
— Pelosi’s stable: collectively crapping on the country & the Constitution.
— Pelosi’s stable . . . yeah, right! *snicker*
— The only thing “stable” on that woman is her face, courtesy of Botox.
— Time for a “field trip” to the meat-packing plant.
— Chariots for everyone! [as long as they’re used, on the taxpayers’ dime, for travel to a global warming conference]
— OMG, not another Madcow!
— “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it,” the Speaker uddered.

Icy Texan (4db837) — 5/7/2010 @ 4:05 am“Time for a fact-finding tour of the meat-packing plant” would’ve been a better way of phrasing it.
Ah, hindsight.
Okay, some more:
— Looking for someone who’s not afraid to walk around with his crank out? then it’s time to call on our Mr. Secretary of State.
— What’s her brand? a hammer & sickle?
— Ain’t nuthin’ but dust a-comin’ outta them thar teats!
Icy Texan (4db837) — 5/7/2010 @ 4:32 amBlithely chewing its cud, all the while oblivious to the impending slaughter. Yeah, that about sums her up.
