Episode Eleven: "Mellow Out or You Will Pay"

MARY: Rhoda, someone ought to tell Nancy Pelosi this is not the Cultural Revolution.

RHODA: But it is the Great Leap Forward.

MARY: I can't look into Nancy Pelosi's eyes. She's rapacious.

RHODA: They hate the President so much.

MARY: I'm not stupid. I see fine, filamented blue powder in my food. Turbid cud from the Den of Spies.

RHODA: Mary, on Tuesday the muscular middle took control of America. Democrats better understand that voters kicked out Republicans but did not swing to the left.

MARY: It may smell like tuna, but it's menacing, brackish. I know what arthritis medicine looks like.

RHODA: Although the Republicans have been overthrown, maniacal left-wing Democrats are trying to use the old ideas, culture, customs, and habits of the exploiting classes to corrupt the masses, capture their minds, and endeavor to stage a comeback.

MARY: Joe Lieberman is a household ghost, clawing and rattling, dressed in tedious rags.

RHODA: Democrats will have to show they have not been taken over by their bloggers or their economic nationalists, who will alienate them from the suburban office park moms.

MARY: Let Rumsfeld trudge after the mouse beneath the stove like an inconsolable widow!
