While reading Let Nancy Pelosi Know You Have Her Back, my lobotomy sutures throbbed and failed and I remembered the popular Recommended diary Why Is Speaker Pelosi Boycotting Daily Kos?, in which about 1000 Kossacks acknowledged that Nancy Pelosi has deceived, avoided, and abused the Daily Kos community for what's now more than 4 years, and failed to explain why she didn't have our back.
What happened? Let's try to be fair. After her "pledge" to post a weekly Daily Kos diary about accountability in April 2006, did Pelosi maybe do it under some other handle? Was she actually Speaker Nancy, who appeared to be a snarky satirist but always told the truth? Or was the original pledge made by some right winger out to wreck the real Pelosi's reputation?
As Pelosi -- well, as one of the Pelosis said - accountability is the key to effective government.
But as with an abused child or spouse, the desire to belong and to remain a family can far outstrip the desire to be treated with respect, and it isn't always healthy.
Is it our job to make sure we protect Nancy Pelosi from accountability, or is she supposed to have our back?
