Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) is the grinch who stole the Bowl Championship Series title game.

Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) made a perfectly reasonable request, asking Pelosi to back off on House business Thursday night and Friday so that members from Florida and Oklahoma could attend the game between the Gators and Sooners on Thursday night in Miami.

One thing the House is supposed to do Thursday afternoon is certify the Electoral College vote for Barack Obama as president.

That can’t wait?

Apparently not. Pelosi said no.

What does she know about football? She went to Trinity College in Washington, which doesn’t have a team.

Besides, the Florida and Oklahoma delegations are heavily Republican.
