QOTD II: The Rogue President And Rogue Leader


There was this exchange at Speaker Nancy Pelosi's weekly press conference (our emphasis):
CBS reporter Nancy Cordes: “Do you run the risk as Republicans have said that it seems like you’re playing games with impeachment if you hold onto this articles for too long?” 

Speaker Pelosi: “I’ve said what I’m going to say. The trial, that is where you put the managers. I’m not prepared to put the managers in that bill yet because we don’t know the arena that we are in. Frankly, I don’t are what the Republicans say.
Speaker Pelosi then responded to a question about the process in the Senate:
“We would hope there would be a fair process. Just as we hoped they would honor the constitution. I heard some of what Mitch McConnell said today, it reminded me that when they wrote the Constitution, they suspected there could be a rogue president. I don’t think they suspected we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the Senate at the same time.”
Thus Sen. Moscow Mitch McConnell was handed back his manhood in a teaspoon.

The Speaker gets better all the time. She's absolutely the right person for the task at hand.
