1. Somehow that nose reminds me of this old story of another politician told to me one dark and rainy night by kind old Mr. Reid. He was an eccentric old gentleman who told tall tales to all the neighborhood kids and though we pretended to believe him we always knew the doddering old fool was full of sh*t. Anyway, here’s how his story went…..Not many people know this, but, Nancy Pelosi is the sister of famed entertainer Pinocchio! Both started out as dummies carved by master carver and famous marionette maker….Mr. Geppetto. When the good (are there really any good ones?) fairy turned him into a “real boy” she turned his sister Pelosi into a “real girl.” For a while they were on stage together as a singing duet, though successful in show biz, both longed for a career in politics. Unfortunately Pinocchio had this problem with his nose…. it would grow whenever he told a lie. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t tell a lie without his nose suddenly growing at a terrific rate. Sadly, this physical deformity (known today as Biden’s Syndrome) cut his promising political career short and he was forced to return to show business. Fortunately his sister Pelosi was not afflicted with this family malady and easily made the transition from show biz to politics. The rest of the story is of course history…today she’s a successful politician from the successful state of California, once she was third in line for the presidency, and is still a powerful mover and shaker in Washington DC. Even so there are many who say they think she’s still a dummy, with sawdust for brains, and a total moron who believes only what she reads in the Washington Post. A footnote: A few years after carving Pinocchio and Pelosi Mr. Geppetto carved another dummy he named Algore….but that’s another story….for another time.
