average mouse turned genius turned average mouse-all in one session of congress

Nancy Pelosi seems hell-bent on reliving Charlie Gordon and his buddy Algernon's lives as detailed in the famous "Flowers for Algernon" novel/novella. After all, in the original piece Algernon was a dumb mouse turned genius turned dumb mouse.
Of course, in Algernon's case it was chemically induced...they don't test for these things in Congress critters so we'll never actually know if ole Nance had help along the way to her miserably failed position as Speaker of the House...but boy howdy has she returned to her original "dumb" status all the same.
I'm reminded of an old song that pays some degree of homage to the original story:
His operation made him smart
He ran the maze so good
But always had some time to be my friend
We used to race and he would win
It always made me mad at him
But he would still be nice even then
Ya know...if you replace the word operation with election, we might be ON to something here.
More below the fold...
