Nancy Pelosi has been very confused this year. She keeps calling President Trump “President Bush” and continues to struggle with her vocabulary.
The latest example happened in an interview with KRON when she “mixed her metaphors,” as The Washington Free Beacon reported, when talking about what the First Amendment does and doesn’t cover when it comes to free speech.
"The Constitution does not say that a person can shout — yell wolf in a crowded theater,” Pelosi said, stumbling. “If you are endangering people, then you don’t have a constitutional right to do that.”
Perhaps yelling “wolf” in a theater could be frightening for Alaskans, but everywhere else, “fire” is the magic word.

Actually, if someone crys "wolf" in a crowded theater, wouldn't people eventually start ignoring it?
That is funny, but we hardly need proof of the need for term limits.
I'd pretty much favor a lottery system for choosing reps. We're far more likely to get a better sample of the will of the people that way.
Although in this day and age given the power of the internet, one could ask why we need reps at all. 200 years ago, before the internet, television and even radio, we did need reps, but in the internet age, it would seem it should be possible to have matters voted on directly by the people on a weekly basis instead of via reps.

Well, the classic example is yelling fire in a crowded theater. Or the boy who cried 'wolf' until people did ignore him. Yelling 'wolf' wouldn't stampeded any theater crowd. Pelosi obviously was mixing her hoary metaphors.
I suppose you could add yelling Allahu Akbar in a crowded theater. That would clear most any theater in America.
