3. I thought about that
but I ultimately decided it wasn't insulting to either. It's in good fun. If anyone is insulted, I apologize!

11. Oh puh-lease. There is such a thing as being too PC. I think the design shows a sense of humor,
and God knows we need that.

5. To the OP:
What was your intent here? I suspect it was good, but it could be taken as either making fun of her italian heritage or implying that now congress is under the control of criminals. Please explain how comparing Nancy to gangsters is good. Sorry if it went over my head.

10. As I said...
it's all in good fun. The intent, since you ask, is simply to celebrate Nancy Pelosi's achievements, using an iconic American symbol. There's a little bit of spoof, a little bit of gloat, and a little bit of humor in the design.

By the way, is Speaker Pelosi a friend of yours? I noticed you are calling her "Nancy".

12. Lighten up please!
It's a joke. Just a joke. Please pull your PC knickers out of a wad and smile a bit. It'll do you a world of good.
