With Republicans like these

who needs Democrats? They’re trying to pile on to Nancy Pelosi for grabbing a little federal pork for San Francisco. Seems Pelosi’s husband owns properties that could benefit from a project at the Embarcadero. And the stupid Republicans are whining about corruption. How lame.

One of the properties is 5,400 feet away from the redevelopment site.

Guess what, New York Post. I can do arithmetic! That’s over a mile.

San Francisco is roughly square, and 7 miles on a side. Pelosi’s spokesman was right to say that “1.1 miles is a long way in San Francisco.”

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 really damaging stuff she’s doing, like fraternizing with the enemy, unconstitutionally running her own foreign policy, and doing her damnedest to lose the war?

Oh, right. That would require backbone.
