    Pelosi looks like something that would shamble out of the darkness in a horror movie and she isn’t the only one. They could kill the power in the Capitol Building during an evening vote (a last minute vote to push back a shutdown for a few weeks, for example) and then film a new Night of the Living Dead movie.

    Edit: Sorry, I did not see how people could misunderstand this. I was referring to how half of congress is old enough to be virtually the walking dead, not so much saying Pelosi is ugly or something. She, and a lot of them, are past the average life expectancy in the US and should have retired years ago.

        I was referring to how half of them look like they have one foot in the grave and should have retired already.

        Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I’m sure that never affects her policy positions.

          Yes, that was what I was going for. I wouldn’t ever call an old lady ugly, so I didn’t even see how my comment could be misinterpreted. In hindsight, I think I should have quoted the “ancient” bit from the comment I was responding to.

          Thanks!
