Well, WHO the HELL'S fault is THAT, Ms. SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE!!!!???? Seriously, is there any way to switch out? IS there any majority member who is better suited to the job? Are there any (reasonable) options?

Pelosi is a partisan goof - let's face it , the first one was a mistake, but if that was sarah Palin who made that mistake it would be headline news- Pelosi tries to deflect blame for everything to the 'other guys' as if she has had nothing to say ever... she thinks she's Tip O'Neil

I told her you had a good female candidate but you didn't vote her in - if these two represent 'best of breed' female politican wise - you're in trouble. Being stupid knows no gender - ( Gov Rod exhibit A - but let's get people like this (both of them) as far from decision making as possible,

The sight of Pelosi could blind you, but a good shot of Palin would make it all worthwhile!! ;-)
