Pelosi Not Really Down With Smelly Hippies Camping Out In Her Garden

Heh:

“I’ve had four or five months of people sitting outside my home, going into my garden in San Francisco and angering my neighbors,” Pelosi said at a gathering sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

Pelosi added that the squatters have engaged in decidedly non-neighborly behavior like hanging their clothes from the trees; moving in sofas, chairs and other “permanent living facilities”; and, oddly, building a large Buddha on the sidewalk in front of her home. “You can just imagine my neighbors’ reactions to all of this,” she said. “And if they were poor, and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they’d be arrested for loitering, but because they have ‘impeach Bush’ across their chest, it’s the First Amendment.”

Seems almost...arrogant of her, doesn’t it?  I haven’t heard Pelosi griping when protesters stormed Karl Rove’s house, or constantly give the President grief wherever he goes.  Hell, Congressional Democrats have actually given nutty groups like Code Pink tickets to Washington DC events (like the President’s inauguration and his State of the Union speech) for the express purpose of having people show up and disrupt the events.

But now that Pelosi’s getting the same treatment (except that Republicans didn’t send these weirdos to Pelosi’s neighborhood) she’s not so happy.
