I'M WONDERFUL AND BLAMELESS – PART I – AT 7:47 P.M. ET:  Nancy Pelosi has given a tough, brutal, self-assessment.  I'm sure we're all nodding our agreement.  From The Wall Street Journal:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she has the “overwhelming support” of fellow Democrats in her bid to become minority leader in the next Congress, and says she’s not to blame for the Democrats’ mid-term debacle.

“We didn’t lose the election because of me,” Ms. Pelosi told National Public Radio in an interview that aired Friday morning. “Our members do not accept that.”

Instead, the California Democrat attributes the loss of at least 60 seats to high unemployment and “$100 million of outside, unidentified funding.”

It's also understood from informed sources that she feels BUSH (!!) was to blame, that Cheney financed the entire Republican campaign, and that Sarah Palin's hairdresser played a sinister if stylish role.

I wonder if Nancy also has a professional court jester and food taster.

The sad fact is that Nancy will probably be reelected, meaning we will once again have a Democratic leader for whom smiling is a case of will power over surgery.
