Spears/Pelosi: A tale of two women

At exactly 1759 hrs today, I just got a call from one of my Graveyard colleague who invited me for the "League" at Nairobi's palour for broken hearts. He wanted us to discuss the 24-year-old, singing sensation Britney Spears.
The fellow, a die-hard hip hop fun, told me that Spears decided to announce her intentions to divorce K-Federline on the day the US traditional media and bloggers were gripped by mid-term elections. By so doing, her disgustingly familiar character will never qualify for acres of newsprint and airtime.

I wish we had such knife-edge brains in Kenya, save our "toilet" politics, strewn with claims rape in parliament, inviting hapless drug addicts and highway robbers who masquerade as Soviet-era mercenaries and where communities are still debating about the merits and demerits of female circumcision.
But, navigating the web, Spears (detailed her travails in earlier blog) coverage has got more viewing that NancyD'Alesandro Pelosi, the steely-nerved Republican hate-figure who is set to become the Congress speaker, the third powerful politician in the US constitution. A sure challenge to Kenyan women ... is it time for a woman to replace Francis Ole Kaparo in howling "Order" in the house.
So who is this Pelosi? Since we all know Spears as funnyman Jon Steward -- US most viewed bogus anchor -- , a product of Northwestern University, just droolled about this "Oops, ... I Did It Again" temptress.

Pelosi is a high-flying liberal from San Francisco, a hotbed of homosexuality. Her tough-talking and fearless demeanor has chilled the Republicans hapless spines. Let's all wait to see how Karl Rove and Dick Cheney react to the earthquake in the US politics.
At 66, this woman, who is married to very rich man, has mothered five children. She entered Congress in 1987, winning a special election in San Francisco's 8th district after the previous incumbent died of reasons that I do not know. From then, she has made this district the safest Democratic base, where you can howl and crawl on shitloads of Republican hogwash and get away with it.
Her CV is pretty impressive. She came out openly against the the China's widely derided 1989 Tienanmen Square crackdown on striking students. Since then, she has rarely shut her rapidly-aged mouth when talking about human rights in that most populous nation.
In addition, Pelosi has served in House Appropriations and Intelligence Committees. One of her most liked attributes is her very successful fund-raising abilities for the never-winning Democratic party as well as a nearly clear-cut liberal voting record.
But despite her stellar qualities, this women failed to get a Democratic Party consensus to block the Blind Master -- George W. Bush -- from routing the Cruel Duck -- Saddam Hussein, seeking weapons of mass destruction.
Thank God, she recently told an interviewer that was a "waste of time" to impeach Bush. I agree. After all, when you fight with a pig, you get dirty and the pig likes it.
