"Nice Congress You Got Here. Too Bad If Anything Should Happen To It."

Not content with the current state of internecine (it's just such a good word) warfare currently going on in the Democratic Party between the Clintonites and the Obamaniacs, various Clintonites have decided that Nancy Pelosi deserves a talking to:
A group of prominent Hillary Clinton donors sent a letter to House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday asking her to retract her comments on superdelegates and stay out of the Democratic fight over their role in the presidential race.
The 20 prominent Clinton supporters told Pelosi she should "clarify" recent statements to make it clear superdelegates -- nearly 800 party insiders and elected officials who are free to back any candidate -- could support the candidate they think would be the best nominee.
Pelosi has not publicly endorsed either Clinton or Barack Obama in their hotly contested White House battle, but she recently said superdelegates should support whoever emerges from the nomination contests with the most pledged delegates -- which appears almost certain to be Obama.
"This is an untenable position that runs counter to the party's intent in establishing superdelegates in 1984," the letter from the wealthy Clinton backers said.
"Superdelegates, like all delegates, have an obligation to make an informed, individual decision about whom to support and who would be the party's strongest nominee," said the letter signed by some of Clinton's biggest fund raisers.
And in the event that the letter is not sufficiently clear about matters:
The signees reminded the House leader from California of their support for the party's House campaign committee and said "therefore" she should "reflect in your comments a more open view" about superdelegates.
"We appreciate your activities in support of the Democratic Party and your leadership role in the party and hope you will be responsive to some of your major enthusiastic supporters," the letter said.
In related news, Republicans are debating what is the best brand of popcorn to pop and munch on while this spectacle unfolds.

If Hillary becomes the nominee and/or president, she'll then be hands down the most powerful woman in Washington. Pelosi doesn't like the thought of being upstaged.

This AM reviewed the Huffington Post posts. The poster that dealt with this subject was LIVID> To think that someone, of wealth and position could dare to advise Madame P.... was unthinkable...etc etc.
Also, the American Thinker has an article that clearly lays out all the warts and pimples of the Dems.
Not to be left out Mr McM.... is out there distancing himself from Pres Bush.
Back to the subject. Position, wealth, importance, all seem to be the anti thesis of the Dems. On the one hand, they all want to be the unwashed, hippy libs of the 60s. On the other, they are, in fact, the fat cats of the Capitalistic System the Dems so despise.
What to do. The comforts of the Senate and House back rooms are desirable, as long as they remain out of reach. As soon as these are attained, they become anathema to the Dems supporters, again a circle of Leftist angst, mutual hate and distrust.
The backbone of the Dems angst lies in the false premises of the principles upon which they are founded. As long as the hordes remain just that, hordes, there will always be opportunistic leaders. Huey Long of the Pre Katrina Lousiana was a great example of the current Dems wannabe. Blatant politician, charismatic, dishonest, corrupt and proud of it.

Wait, I'm confused, aren't we the party controlled by wealthy powers who don't care about the popular choices of the common people??
Can't remember who said it, but if Hillary were to be elected, then Pelosi would become 100% irrelevant. Which I have no doubt Madam Pelosi is trying very hard to keep from happening.
Daniel Henninger over at WSJ makes a great statement about the current democrat spectacle.
Madam Pelosi, however is no General Rawlinson.
