Ethel C. Fenig "The first grandmother to become speaker of the House, Rep Nancy Pelosi (D-homeless capital San Francisco, naturally), oh, so laboriously signed the so-called articles of the so-called impeachment using platters full of commemorative pens. Republicans quickly offered "I Support Trump!" souvenir pens as a reward for donating to their party.
"In this electronic era, when documents are signed by tapping a device, it is somewhat reassuring for this over-30 individual that pens are still available. And used. Even at the perverted event overseen by Pelosi. And celebrating the Republicans' cleverness capitalizing on it.
"Ah, the pleasures of free-market capitalism, which offers choices. Which pen would you rather have? "

"Ah, the pleasures of free-market capitalism, which offers choices. Which pen would you rather have? "

If it was such a somber occasion why was she smiling, taking pictures and handing out mementos? If this was truly a sad time she wouldn't be acting the way she did.
" 'We are used to seeing signing ceremonies, handing out pens, at moments of celebration, when a president is signing legislation, even sometimes on a rare occasion when the House sends over a landmark piece of legislation," CNN's Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash explained. "It was unusual to see that kind of ceremony and making, you know, handing out the pens and smiling for a picture, in this kind of situation where the House Speaker has bent over backwards to say publicly and privately this is somber, this is not a time for a celebration.'
