Sometimes hyperbole is useful in making a point.  Other times, it just looks downright imbecilic.  This from my own Congresscritter in California's 8th District, definitely fits in the latter category.

Pelosi on today’s vote: “What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget…we’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today.”

 Nancy the vampire slayer must thwart the demonic Tea Party or the apocalypse will be upon us!

"Imbecilic" is a wondeful word, and very applicable in this context.

My dad's birthday is on August 2nd.  When I wished him farewell yesterday as we parted company, I told him that my birthday wish for him was that we would all survive the impending Obama-synthesized apocalypse so that he could enjoy another year of life.  At least I got a chuckle.

Oh see, Diane, you truncated the quote.  It really deserves its full context:

"What we’re trying to do is save the world from the Republican budget…we’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today."  In that spirit, we in the house Democratic Caucus have agreed to be placed in cryo-stasis.  Then, once the Republicans have destroyed the world we will be able to guarantee the rebirth of civilization funded by the interest on my unused cosmetic procedures money.

See! She is being responsible :-p

It's quite amusing to watch a person become a caricature of herself. With a little more botox she may take on the physical appearance of a caricature.

Just throw water on her as in the film. Would like to hear the, I Am Melting, screech.

Always liked the flying monkeys. Make a great pet.

 And conservatives are just trying to save the nation from Banshee Pelosi's outrageous spending of their children's money.

Nancy Pelosi: "...we’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today."

It's handy when the reactionaries reveal themselves, isn't it?

Nancy Pelosi: "...we’re trying to save life on this planet as we know it today."

And life as they know it is growing socialism, destroying Freedoms, shackling future generations with their debt.....

Her brain left her in San Francisco.

This poor lady is obviously demented. Obvious to everybody except her constituents and the congressional Democrats, that is.
