Queen Nancy and Whiney Harry have delivered to the O-man his healthcare disaster.
Whiney Harry convinced the Queen that she should just go along with the Senate version, and she quickly tried to comply, but with minimal success.
It was only when the O-man himself began buying votes with special deals and promises that the Queen began to get any traction.
The O-man, Whiney Harry and the Queen continued to try to portray the problem as "Republicans blocking healthcare", but anyone with an IQ above freezing clearly saw that the problem wasn't the Republicans, but rather members of their own Democrat party.
Republicans don't have enough votes to do anything in Congress that the Dems don't want them to.
They haven't even got enough votes to stop an elevator, much less the healthcare bill.
So, the problem for Whiney Harry and the Queen has been their own members all along.
The Queen has now taken up the rhetoric of bipartisanship, claiming that the healthcare bill was a bipartisan bill reflecting the wishes of the American people.
"You strive for bipartisanship when you can.
When you find your common ground, that's great. If you don't find your common ground, you have to stand your ground," she said.
"And in addition to that, you want bipartisanship, but you cannot let the lack of bipartisanship stand in the way of making this change that is important to the American people.
We've put the wishes of the Republican minority in this bill and it is a historic bipartisan effort."
Um, not exactly.
Perhaps the Queen need to reconsider the definition of bipartisanship.
Because the only bipartisan effort in this whole clusterfuck was the unsuccessful efforts of 212 members of the House of Representatives in trying to defeat it.
See, in the final vote count, absolutely no Republicans voted for the bill.
None.
Making it absolutely not a bipartisan effort.
But, when the final votes were tallied, 39 Democrats voted against their party leadership and the bill, joining all of the House Republicans in a true bipartisan effort to follow the wishes of more than 70% of the American public to try and defeat the bill.
On the morning after, many Americans of both parties are feeling angry and disenfranchised.
Queen Pelosi can call this bill anything she wants, but it may end up being called the beginning of the end for Democrat majorities.
Congress may not have listened to the will of the people now, but they will certainly hear from them at the ballot box in 2010.
