Hijinks expected

From The American Spectator:

"Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic leadership can no longer tell us what is on the table," Sheehan said on Wednesday, after commandeering a set of microphones from Democratic Rep. Rahm Emanuel. "We are the ones that put them in power and they are not including the peace movement."

Emanuel, the Illinois Representative who is credited with being one of the architects of his party's takeover of Congress, was holding a press conference on ethics reform when Sheehan and dozens of antiwar protestors shouted him down with chants of "de-escalate, investigate, troops home now." Emanuel retreated behind closed doors as Sheehan claimed the stage.

Although the incident was a just a footnote to this week's coronation of Nancy Pelosi as the new Speaker of the House, it is an indication of the tenuous position the new Democratic majority finds itself in. Democrats want to compile a set of accomplishments and shun the more radical elements of their party to demonstrate to voters that they can be trusted to govern responsibly, but by doing so they risk alienating the vehemently anti-war base of their party who helped put them in power.

As I have said before the next two years are going to be fun to watch as the moonbat wing of the Democrat Party goes to war against the part of the Party which is desperately pretending to be sane.

The George Soros/Dailykos/Moveon.org bunch thinks that they own the party; that it is their bought and paid for property and is there's to run. They honestly think that they put the Democrats in power and they expect to be paid back.

Nancy Pelosi may be many things (most of them bad) but one thing she isn't is stupid. She knows that if the Democrats give the impression that Cindy Sheehan runs the Party it will be electoral suicide. Yet if they alienate the lunatic fringe, which really isn't a fringe anymore but is more of a lunatic core, that they can't muster enough votes to win anywhere outside of a few Southern states.

I do not envy San Fran Nan's difficulties, but I fully intend to spend the next two years enjoying them.
