Nancy Pelosi does not look healty in the background. She looks like she might lose her bowels, or like she has a giant knife in her back.

Not to derail, but there is something very alarming I must warn you all about.
My friends, the Russians have surpassed us in snark technology. Witness, Pravda.ru’s endorsement of Palin for Queen of America. A sample:
My friends, what is next? Troll technology? MY GOD–
THEY’VE LEARNED CAT PR0N!!!1

I love Barney Frank, not least because his teh-gayness infuriates wingnuttia so badly.

Of course, if Barney really does go talk nicely to them, they’ll just think it’s a comeon.

Barney Frank is a cartoon. A la Elmer Fudd and Roger The Rabbit’s love child…

Well, we are talking about the wetsuit and dildo crowd, so one can never tell how they’ll interpret common courtesy.

Buskertype – you spelled “arouses” totally wrong.

Bear Stearns guarantee – 30 billion.
AIG bailout – 85 billion.
Paulson plan – 700 billion.
Watching the Repubs get punked by Barney Frank – priceless.

Theeds: have you been tweaking your avatar? Lately it shows, at times, a Mona Lisaesque vague wryness, other times, humbling, awe-inspiring ocular vacuity, other times, a mere smirk made snarkier by its empty earnestness… and just now, after writing this, he looks nervous and confused.
You display emerging idolatory powers…

The Grand Emo Party? Or the Blame Liberals First Party?

Wielding her chutzpah
I have no idea what a chutzpah is, but from context I’m guessing that it’s some sort of Inuit or Yupik edged weapon, not unlike an assegai.

Chutzpah is a Yiddish word for shameless daring in the course of gross misconduct. It’s what you’d use to describe a person who murders both parents and then, when caught, pleads to the court for mercy on the basis that they are an orphan.
But this article demonstrates one more thing to love about the Russians: their gift for invective. <irony>Too bad we fought a Cold War in order to preserve the American people from ever having to learn that language.</irony>

[...] obviously this is Obama’s fault! Also, the House Republicans refused to pass the bill because Pelosi gave a mean speech which hurt their feelings. — so it’s also Pelosi’s [...]

One of the best things about the Dems winning the House in 2006 is that we get to hear more of Barney. As they say in MA, he’s wicked-pissah funny, especially when he tells the Rethugs to go F themselves (in a relatively tactful way, of course).
Of course, it would also be nice if the rest of the Dems grew a set. It would also be nice if I won the Lottery. Currently, I am not sure which has the greater probability.
