May 22, 2008 (LPAC)--House Speaker Nancy "I Can't Feel My Lips" Pelosi has managed, despite her famously frozen facial features, to speak out of both sides of her mouth, on the matter of how the Democratic Party's presidential candidate should be chosen at the convention. Last night, in an interview with PBS's Judy Woodruff, Pelosi was asked about Hillary Clinton's assertions that if the Michigan and Florida votes are counted, she is ahead of Barack Obama in the primaries' aggregate popular vote. Pelosi responded, that "the person who has the most delegates becomes the nominee of the party. It's not been about the popular vote."

But back in February, when Obama had won several primaries and a full-court press had started for "superdelegates" to commit themselves to his candidacy, Speaker Pelosi was quoted by the New York Times, "It would be a problem for the party if the verdict would be something different than the public has decided." Such verbal acrobatics must be quite painful for Ms. Leadership, given how screwed up she is. The amazing thing is, she did it with a straight face.
