Nancy Pelosi's tin ear: arrogance impervious to remediation.

Pelosi and Hoyer arrogantly insult opponents to the House healthcare bill as Swastika-carrying, unAmerican, etc. Ex-community organizer Obama is hard-pressed to agree since the tactics of his favorites, ACORN and the SEIU, including use of non-peaceful thugs rather than the elderly minions who have come out on their own.(Andy Stern of the SEIU said that he preferred to use the power of persuasion but, if necessary, would use the persuasion of power.)s
This wasn't the only recent Pelosi arroggaffe:

Opposition Emerges to House's Jet Spree By BRODY MULLINS and T.W. FARNAM
WASHINGTON -- Bipartisan opposition is emerging in the Senate to a plan by House lawmakers to spend $550 million for additional passenger jets for senior government officials....The plan to upgrade the fleet of government jets, which was included in a broader defense-funding bill, has also sparked criticism from the Pentagon, which has said it doesn't need half of the new jets. "The whole thing kind of makes me sick to my stomach," said Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) in an interview Sunday. "It is evidence that some of the cynicism about Washington is well placed -- that people get out of touch and they spend money like it's Monopoly money."The funding for new planes is "a classic example of Congress being out of touch with the realities of deficit spending," said (Sen.John) Thune.The Obama administration had sought $220 million to buy four passenger jets, including two that are currently being leased by the Air Force, to replace a fleet of older planes. Before leaving town for the August break, House lawmakers doubled the aircraft order to eight, at a total cost of $550 million.****And this is the House whose members excoriated CEOs in the auto industry for flying to Washington in private jets to testify before Congress. The Air Force can always transport anyone in government in one of their regular planes; the Gulfstreams specified are super-luxury models designed to provide an extreme perk to travelers.****
