Nancy Pelosi on Olbermann Show: "If they win, we are now a plutocracy/oligarchy."

Referencing "terrible" decision by Supreme Court.

This election is "about saving our democracy from those who want to buy it."

2. I wonder if her "taking impeachment off the table" now sounds like a bad move to her?

Perhaps some of the crap we've seen thrown at the Dems could have been nipped in the bud if the right moves were made as our country was being disassembled by *Bush. Instead, we had 8 years of a poster child for some of the tea bag ignorance that is now apparently something to be proud of (and electable).

3. I was shocked by that too
but also distracted by her gray roots. I can't believe she went on Countdown without getting a touch-up. :-)

7. I noticed them too, but I'm always impressed at
how well put-together she is, so the roots were totally unexpected. Can you imagine how much her haircoloring must cost? She has a single process color and then highlights in addition to that. Not cheap, when you have to look great everyday.

6. LOL... Like Pelosi isn't a member of that Plutocracy of which she derides
How very disingenuous of her.

10. fair enough... but she supports the system she rejects
and as such her criticism of that system rings hollow.

"Impeachment is off the table."

And remember how quickly she leverages that system when the rabble actually try and make her hear their voice? Remember when she had security clear 'her' sidewalk in SF?

9. If we win, we are now a plutocracy/oligarchy
Kinder, gentler but no less out of touch.

And yes, I already voted, straight Dem, like a good little abused spouse.
