They&#8217;re trying to pile on to Nancy Pelosi for <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/05082007/news/nationalnews/her_an_fran_treat_nationalnews_geoff_earle.htm">grabbing a little federal pork</a> for San Francisco. Seems Pelosi&#8217;s husband owns properties that could benefit from a project at the Embarcadero. And the stupid Republicans are whining about corruption. How lame.</p>
<blockquote><p>One of the properties is 5,400 feet away from the redevelopment site.</p></blockquote>
<p>Guess what, <em>New York Post</em>. I can do arithmetic! That&#8217;s over a mile.</p>
<p>San Francisco is roughly square, and 7 miles on a side. Pelosi&#8217;s spokesman was right to say that &#8220;1.1 miles is a long way in San Francisco.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, Republicans, please stop going out of your way to look stupid. That Pelosi is corrupt is hardly front page news. How about going after her for the <em>really</em> damaging stuff she&#8217;s doing, like fraternizing with the enemy, unconstitutionally running her own foreign policy, and doing her damnedest to lose the war?</p>
<p>Oh, right. That would require <em>backbone</em>.</p>
