OK, at first I didn’t think that all the hoopla about Nancy Pelosi flying around in a time-saving, yet gas-guzzlng, fancy jet was that big of a deal. Sure, she has bugged out eyes, but I wasn’t gonna crucify her for doing exactly what I would do if I was in the position to abuse my power.

Today, however, my opinion has changed: The White House is defending her, so I know now that she must be truly be an evil Al Gorilla in disguise.

“This is a silly story, and I think it’s been unfair to the speaker,” Tony Snow said at a White House briefing yesterday. “We think it’s important that the speaker of the House enjoy the same kind of security that we arranged for Speaker Hastert in the wake of Sept. 11. And like I said, I think that there’s been a lot of overhyped reporting on this.”

When Tony Snow starts defending Nancy, you know one of two things is true: hell has frozen over, or she’s out to destroy the world. It may be cold outside, but I’m pretty sure hell is still burning. She must be stopped immediately, kids. You know what to do. Write your Congressman.
