Nanny Rictus Botox on Elm Street

I see at least two problems with this short. First of all, the fiend in the clip is a lot prettier than Madame Speaker. Second, 'Pelosi' on Elm Street is a lot more eloquent than the botox-addled twit who gave this rambling, barely coherent non-response to the question "Will there be a tax increase in 2010?"
NANCY PELOSI: Well, I-- well, there will be a time when we will hopefully lower taxes because of the comprehensive overview of our tax code. Over the-- even the corporate tax. And in-- budget that was passed re-- and in the recovery package, as well, we lowered taxes for the middle class. But as far as the other initiatives, the cap and-- the-- climate change and energy investments, as well as health care. They are designed to be job creators. Because they will lower the cost of energy. And lower the cost of health care to businesses.
The honest answer would have been, "Hells yeah, we're raising taxes! Big Government costs Big Money, fool! Why do you think Max Baucus wants to tax pacemakers and other lifesaving medical devices."
