Is Pelosi Consulting With Spielberg?

By David N. Bass on 12.23.10 @ 10:27AM

Steven Spielberg specializes in fiction, special effects, razzle dazzle, and fooling audiences into believing the fake is real. This says a lot about Nancy Pelosi's Congress:

[B]ehind closed doors, [Pelosi] is laboring to refashion the image of House Democrats - as well as herself.

Lawmakers say she is consulting marketing experts about building a stronger brand. The most prominent of her new whisperers is Steven Spielberg, the Hollywood director whose films have been works of branding genius. Lawmakers said Spielberg has not reported to Pelosi with a recommendation.

If so, using a master at the use of Fantasy is appropriate.

Gotta agree with you Rich. Liberals tend to live in some sort of fantasy world, so why not employ one who is well versed in make-believe as a consultant?

AMERICANS,
I believe Nancy Pelosi is being selected for a horror character is one of Spielberg's new books.

I have just the name for all the "progressives":
Communists. They are red through and through and they might as well admit it. The CPUSA was all over the labor rally (the one held right after Glenn Beck's). The CPUSA helped to fund Mark Rich of Minn, who counted until the DemonCrat won.

The obvious brand for the Democratic Party is "Jaws." Eating children, etc.

Perhaps the label "Blue-shirted liberal NAZI"is NOT held in high esteem.....

As long as Spielberg hasn't reported back to the old bag, I'll jump right in:
Nancy, no amount of "re-branding" is ever going to change voters' attitudes toward you, or their opinions of you. I recommend you build on that distinction/differentiation. I hereby brand you as, "Nasty Nancy, queen of mean, princess of petulance, countess of catastrophe, lady of ludicrousness." I'll invoice you shortly.

Nancy Pelosi and Congress, I have said in the past should have been incarcerated in an Institution for the criminally insane long ago. I now understand that they are Institutionalized in an Asylum we all call "AMERICA". With a population of over 300 million mentally challenged people. It is a proper Asylum for the work that they do, for they will not be disturbed by the other patients there.
