Nancy Pelosi Has Gone Blonde!

Speaker Emerita Pelosi's "Shut up!" outburst against a reporter got a great deal of attention last week, but what struck me was how well it reflected the detective Philip Marlowe's remark, "From thirty feet away she looked like a lot of class. From ten feet away she looked like something made up to be seen from thirty feet away." In the clip above, with the well-tended hair framing sunglasses, she very briefly looks much younger, until she turns and angrily croaks, revealing every one of her 85 years.

The other thing I noticed was that she now has blonde highlights in her hair. This seems to be new, along with the sunglasses. I asked Chrome AI mode, "Does Nancy Pelosi often wear sunglasses?" and it answered,

While Nancy Pelosi does wear sunglasses, particularly when outside, the idea that she "often" wears them likely stems from a few highly publicized and memorable instances rather than being a regular habit.

But the examples it then gives are from 2015 and 2018, which reinforces in my mind that she's had a makeover. I get the same feeling from the video clip below; her hair is lighter there, too. But the main thing she's doing is reprising what she must feel is the high point of her career, when she tore up Trump's State of the Union speech on February 4, 2020, immediately after he finished delivering it to a joint session of Congress. The problem was that in that case, she was tearing up a whole program, and indeed, announcing her intent to tear up Trump himself; whereas more than five years later, Trump is back, she's turned old and frail, and all she can manage to tear up is a little paper crown that has nothing to do with Trump.

And what must really rankle is Trump's remarks to Maria Bartiromo in yesterday's interview:

Well, look, the Democrats are kamikazes right now. They're kamikaze pilots right now. They have nothing going. They have no future. They have incompetent candidates. I mean, I looked at Crockett, Jasmine Crockett. She's a low -- very low- I.Q. person. She's polling OK in the Democrat Party. I can't even believe it. AOC is -- I watched her the other day.

He's mentioning Jasmine Crockett and AOC as the current leading lights of the Democrats -- Nancy Pelosi isn't even worth bringing up. She's 2020's news.

But they're still talking about Trump. Can you imagine what that's doing to her?
