Pelosi Hammered, Red Tide Floods, Festerman Falters

Well, I took two mornings off, and I'm deluged (or is that deluded) with links. The big news, of course, is the late night hammer attack on Pauli Pelosi at his and Nancy's San Francisco house. by a semi-nude nudist activist, who's social media suggests a very tenuous grasp on reality, but contains enough material for both sides to claim he belongs to the other camp. Stacy McCain, Deranged Canadian Nudist Breaks Into Nancy Pelosi’s SF Mansion and Attacks Her Husband With Hammer. The left pounced on the opportunity to link this to Republicans and Jan. 6. as Stacy amply documents.  At WaPoo, Attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband follows years of GOP demonizing her, "A man with right-wing views who broke into the House speaker’s home yelled “Where is Nancy?” before assaulting Paul Pelosi with a hammer, police say." Also, Alleged assailant filled blog with delusional thoughts in days before Pelosi attack and Dan Balz opines, Assault of Paul Pelosi was attack on democracy. The risks keep growing. Ace, in red italics, Nancy Pelosi's Home Broken Into, Husband Attacked by Thug with a Hammer "LOCAL JOURNALIST: LEFTWING ANTIWAR ATTACKER; STORY IS ABOUT TO VANISH SO GET LAST COMMENTS IN QUICK". Althouse has three! posts, David DePape — the man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi — has been "blogging for at least 15 years, with his views growing more extreme over time," "Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was hospitalized after he was assaulted by someone who broke into the couple’s residence in San Francisco early on Friday morning...." and "Neighbors described DePape as a homeless addict with a politics that was, until recently, left-wing, but of secondary importance to his psychotic and paranoid behavior." Michael Shellenberger, Pelosi Attack Suspect Was A Psychotic Homeless Addict Estranged From His Pedophile Lover & Their Children. Matt Vespa at Town Hall, The Pelosi Home Invasion Just Got Weirder. 'Bonchie' at Red State, Paul Pelosi's Attacker Gets a Lot Weirder, and the Picture Gets a Little Clearer. Raheem J. Kassam@RaheemKassam, "Yo what kind of home invasions include bathroom breaks??" At PM,  Paul Pelosi 'sounded somewhat confused', referred to attacker as 'friend' during 911 call, "During the home invasion, DePape apparently allowed Pelosi to use the bathroom, leading to the 911 call where he referred to DePape as a "friend". It is unclear whether Paul Pelosi was trying to say that DePape was his friend or Nancy's friend." Best advice is from Herr Professor Jacobsen at LI, Paul Pelosi Attack – Follow The Evidence, Not The Media Spin, "It might be that this ends up a simple case of a political attack. Or something else. The evidence will reveal the truth, the media will not (at least not before the midterms)." Paul Pelosi remains in the hospital, after surgery on his skull fracture, but is expected to make a full recovery.
