Wither Pelosi, Wither Impeachment

After last week's impeachment article delay fiasco can we please stop saying Nancy Pelosi is some kind of master politician and parliamentary genius?

In 2006 the Dems won the house in the sixth year of the Bush administration, under a faltering economy and in the midst of an unpopular war. If you can't win in that situation you should quit politics and run quilting bee's. The victory, by the way, was engineered by future Obama CoS Rahm Emanuel. In 2010 she muscled Obamacare through and promptly lost the House. 

This year she is hostage to AOC and The Squad. A skilled speaker would have smacked them down last spring. Pelosi let Adam Schiff convince her that leaker Eric Ciaramella could bring Trump down. Trump has outmaneuvered Pelosi and Schiff, starting by releasing the transcript which reader(s) know is perfect.

In the Senate, Mitch McConnell publicly wonders why Pelosi even thinks she has leverage here. While Pelosi and the House Dems and Impeachment implode, Cocaine Mitch confirms judges by the dozen. Now there's a master politician.

Cocaine Mitch has that Gleam in his Eye

Ho Lee Fuk is not my dry cleaner. No, it's my confusion at Nancy Pelosi' actions. No, confusion isn't the right word. Exasperation? Stupefaction? Stupid?

You tell me, people. You tell me. Because...what the fuck, man?!Having given us this impeachment travesty Mean Granny has delayed sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate, for some reason.

Hotair is saying this better than we can:

Otherwise, though, count me with Allahpundit in being utterly mystified as to what Pelosi thinks she’s accomplishing with a delay tactic. The longer this goes on, the more it undermines House Democrats’ insistence on the fierce urgency of now rather than following normal due process on the witnesses Schumer wants to call. It pushes a trial more and more into the Democratic presidential (and congressional!) primaries, which begin in February, interfering with their candidates’ messaging and firing up Trump’s supporters instead. All of this will take place while there is no way at all that Democrats will get 20 Senate Republicans to cross over and support removal on the basis of these articles, and likely will lose a couple of their own in the Senate.
Let me explain this to Democrats reading this. You goddamn people know who you are. The longer this goes on, the worse it gets for the Dems.

Maybe McConnell rolls up a hundred, snorts a line at a fancy 60th floor Wall Street brockerage restaurant, Mathew McConaughey style, and says, 'Ok, Bitch. You wanna drag this shit out? Fine. Unlimited witness! We'll start with Hunter and Joe Biden. You're aready vulnerbale caucus can spent weeks, no months, answering awkard questions about the disaster you've dumped in their laps.' Then he lights a fat splif, puts on a little Cam'ron* and calls it an impeachment.
