Nancy Pelosi’s Forehead Moves as Healthcare Bill Passes

Washington, D.C. – With Democrats in Washington still celebrating the passage of the Health Care reform bill they have been feverishly working on for the past year, there is perhaps no other member of the Washington elite that is showing more emotion than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her forehead.
Long thought to have been rendered motionless by years of face lifts and Botox injections, Congress woman Pelosi dazzled a crowd of reporters and onlookers during a post-vote speech on the steps of the Capitol Building, as she raised her eye brows upwards slightly, expressing only a fraction of the jubilation that her words expressed.
“This is not just a victory for democrats,” said Mrs. Pelosi, as her face twitched ferociously in an attempt to express some physical form of excitement. “This is a victory for the American people.”
Taking to the White House podium, President Obama praised Mrs. Pelosi for heaving her eye brows more than 7 centimeters above the position they are normally frozen in, while also acknowledging that when she did so, he noticed a slight wrinkle on her forehead that acted as undeniable proof that “Mrs. Pelosi is not an android, cyborg, nor is she in any way bionic.”
President Obama then jokingly added, “But we’re still going to need to see an X-ray of your skull, just to be sure.”
As of publishing time, Apoliticus has yet to receive official confirmation as to whether Mrs. Pelosi has fully recuperated from the exhaustive forehead movement, but various sources are claiming Mrs. Pelosi is still reeling from the after effects of such a strenuous physical task.
One anonymous source quotes a Pelosi aide as saying, “Congress woman Pelosi should be back up and legislating within a few days, just as soon as the color returns to her face and scars of her celebratory face lift have healed.”
