House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Fransico) was asked in an interview yesterday with mtvU’s Editorial Board program about whether or not she supported the protestors who scaled the Golden Gate Bridge to unfurl a banner that read, “One World, One Dream, Free Tibet.” Pelosi spoke in almost reverant terms about the protestors, at one point calling their act “a feat.” It may be a feat, but before it’s anything, it’s ILLEGAL!

While heaping absurbed praise on the protestors, she is adamant that the Olympics should not be boycotted. That, however, is not the contradiction. At one point she tells the students interviewing her:

The Olympics are a sporting event and as such I don’t think they should be boycotted.

But then later in the interview she says the Olympics are NOT a sporting event, but rather about peace and harmony, but because of China’s records on human rights we should just call them “a sporting event”:

If you want to say the Olympics is about harmony, and one world, and one dream, then let’s at least be consistent. If not, just don’t say it’s that, just say it’s a sporting event.

So let me get this straight, Nancy. The Olympics ARE a sporting event for the purposes of NOT boycotting them. But they are NOT a sporting event for the purpose of praising some idiots scaling the Golden Gate Bridge, or violently attempting to put out the Olympic Torch?

Like a true liberal Speaker Pelosi lives in two worlds simultaneously.
