Nancy Pelosi: Wannabe Jedi Master

"Why don't we just leave this room today forgetting the word 'earmark'?" suggested Pelosi. "This is a way for . . . members to come together, sometimes in a bipartisan way, to have the Congress of the United States determine some of what is in the appropriations bills instead of just leaving it up to the White House."
Compare with this:
TROOPER: Let me see your identification.
BEN: You don't need to see his identification.
TROOPER: We don't need to see his identification.
BEN: These are not the droids your looking for.
TROOPER: These are not the droids we're looking for.
BEN: He can go about his business.
TROOPER: You can go about your business.
BEN: (to Luke) Move along.
TROOPER: Move along. Move along.
Evidently, the Speaker is trying to pull a Kenobi. Jedi tricks, of course, only work on the weak-minded, so perhaps it is time to show that the public is made of sterner mental stuff.

From now on, when an elected official reneges on a campaign promise, we can all just say it's hard going, but at least it's open now.

....is weak minded enough to lap this stuff up like a puppy dog at a bowl of warm milk. Add to that, the news reports will be delivered to all those willing to uncritically listen by a fawning MSM propaganda machine that would have made the late Joseph Goebbels green with envy.
