Wednesday evening. Nancy Pelosi calls Hillary Clinton.
"What are you wearing?"
"My red suit."
"Oh ... I wanted to wear my red suit."
"Well, you know Janet Napolitano always wears her red suit when I wear my red suit."
"Why don't we all wear our red suits? You know, you and me and the cabinet?"
"OOoooo! Like the Jackson brothers?
Red Hat Society from left:
Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius
Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
And I kept looking for Sec of HHS Janet Napolitano. She wasn't with the rest of the cabinet. Maybe she was the one left behind in case of a terrorist attack.
But oooo - when Joe Biden passed Nancy that note identifying the "You lie" screamer - did you see the look on Nancy's face? She was going to spit. And then she was on guard. It was like she was going to leap up any second and take someone out. Someone dropped something that rolled around a while and she stared that section down. She should have gone after House Minority Whip Eric Cantor when he was twittering.
Well, it does let them stand out in a sea of black, navy, and dark brown suits. And none of them wore ugly purple hats or feather boas.
Just to be a picky ass, isn't Sebelius's suit more of a coral color?

Who was the woman in the pink with the bright orange rough silk scarf/shawl? She totally hurt my eyes.

I thought Nancy's face was going to break at one point. It was awesome.

Sherri - Oh ... that was just the lighting.
Tami - I know! I saw her. And it ended up Napolitano was in blue, but todays shes in red again.
Candy - Ooo, it contorted after she looked at the seating chart.
Becs - Ah! Your are right!

We miss Napolitano, we got stuck with a nutty, nutty, nut-ball when she got recruited. She looks like they are aging her in D.C. in a big hurry! I hated watching Nancy behind him for the whole speech. It's like someone told her, "Now, smile, Nancy,you don't want the world to see you in a frown". Yikes.

Judith - Yes, Nancy was not smiling with her eyes as Tyra says you should.
