THANK YOU, LORDY, FOR THIS ADDITIONAL GIFT – AT 8:58 A.M. ET:  Nancy Pelosi, apparently riding a groundswell of support from the coffee houses of San Francisco, has announced that she'll run for minority leader of the House, once she's forced to step down from the speaker's rostrum as a result of Tuesday's elections.

For Republicans, this is a blessing.  Pelosi will probably win because the only Dems left in the House are her kind of people – liberals from safe districts with autographed pictures of George Soros in the windows of their Lexus two-doors. 

So the Dems will probably have, once again, one of the most disliked politicos in the nation as their human face – human if you ignore all the work done by skilled surgeons.

You'd think Barack Obama would have called Nancy and offered her an ambassadorship, maybe to the United States.  You'd think someone would send her a message.  But how to you nudge a member of royalty?

The Republic Party had a gem of a response to Nancy's announcement – thanking her for an employment program that has employed so many GOP lawmakers.  Good to see our side develop a little humor.

It looks like we will have Nancy Pelosi to kick around some more.  Even Nixon had the good sense to disappear.
