Profile in Partisanship.

Perhaps she just couldn't help herself. Perhaps Ms. Pelosi is just so partisan and doctrinaire in her marrow, that the opportunity to take cheap political shots with a national stage provided by the House vote on the "Bailout Bill" could not be refused. Whatever the reason, given the grave nature of the crisis that has been claimed and the need for political unity to insure passage of the bill, Pelosi made an extremely foolish choice in dogpiling on the GOP. It was a embarassing display of arrogance and a moronic misjudgement of human nature and behavior.
