Job well done

Nancy Pelosi summed up her term as Speaker of the House: "Job well done."

No, really. She actually said that:
"We believe we did the right thing, and we worked very hard in our campaigns to convey that to the American people," she said. "Nine and a half percent unemployment is a very eclipsing event. If people don't have a job, they're not too interested in how you intend for them to have a job. They want to see results."

Asked to assess her tenure, Pelosi quickly answered, "Job well done."
See? You thought I made that up. But I didn't. She actually said that.

But, you know, thinking about it ... she may be right. Depending on what she thought her job was.
  • If you thought your job was to bring America to the brink of financial ruin, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to make Americans miss having Republicans in charge, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to ram through ill-conceived, unwanted legislation, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to stand there and look stupid, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to bring Congress' approval rating down to all-time lows, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to help Americans understand that voters in your district are stark raving mad, then job well done.
  • If you thought your job was to be the punchline of a joke, then job well done.
How would you assess Nancy Pelosi's job?

  1. Basil, on a scale of one to ten, I'd give her a two.

    I mean, like a swirling #2.

  2. Andy is such a generous sort.

    The thing that gets me is that Pelosi actually believes that. Democrats have proven time and time again that the capability to actually have a single rational thought eludes them. Simply put, to be a Democrat means that you are stupid. You cannot deny that FACT.
