A week or so ago, in a piece breezily titled, for the sake of the faint-hearted (and Mark Zuckerberg), “O my Democratic Party, Where the F*ck Art Thou?”, I argued that the much maligned Nancy Pelosi was still pretty much a shoo-in for re-election as House Speaker: “luckily for Pelosi if no one else, she faces divided forces”.
Well, still luckily for Nancy, that Trump-staged sitdown/shootout that ended with Nance walking out in a Nancy Reagan red power coat and slippin’ on her power shades, and then making fun of Cap’n Two Scoops’ manhood, firmed up her support harder than a—well, I’m afraid I can’t come up with a gender-appropriate metaphor for this one. Anyway, I’m betting that Mother Nancy is in like Flynn1 for the speakership.
1. “In like Flynn” is supposedly an ode to the once-legendary swordsmanship of actor Errol Flynn, who claimed he was not allowed to use “In Like Me” as the title of his autobiography.
