Cry me a river, Pelosi is a pit bull.
Via National Journal:
NJ: Why did the Republicans make you an issue? Is it because, as with Hillary Rodham Clinton, some voters aren’t comfortable with a strong woman leader?
PELOSI: First of all, we were effective at making change. What did we do but stand in the way of Wall Street, big health insurers, Big Oil, and people opposed to collective bargaining? My situation was different from Hillary in that most people did not know me. If your opponents want to mischaracterize you, they can say anything, and they had endless money, secretly amassed. But it was not just about that. It was 9.5 percent unemployment. It didn’t matter if you said to people, “It would be 15 percent if we hadn’t done what we did.” If you don’t have a job, that is all you know.
NJ: What kind of chauvinism have you faced in Congress?
PELOSI: At first the men thought having women in the House was nice. Then they started to get a little threatened—it wasn’t as cute. When I decided to run for leadership, they said, “Who said she could run?”

The last refuge of scoundrels. I bet she’d say she was a victim of racism if she were black.
She’s a worthless piece of excrement, just like her male democrat buddies. Democrats are equal opportunity vermin.
Everytime I hear some female politician bitch and moan about discrimination, I watch this video as antidote:

Lady Thatcher never played the discrimination card and didn’t need to.
crybaby
Sometimes it is all about you.
this woman is a criminal.
The Iron Lady was never a victim because she refused to let herself become one, this is how you sucessfully fight idiots and a-holes in general.
People who let themselves become victims wallow in their victim-hood and never grow.
Nancy P. is a case of arrested development and she is older than the cryptkeeper.
A sure sign of someone’s career in decline and without any real hope of recovery: blame racism, bigotry, sexism, homophobia on personal shortcomings.
Sorry Nancy, no sale.
Relax, Nancy. Anthony Weiner is gong now! Let it go.....
How about self-righteous, lying, socialist, |3itch?
Relax, Nancy. Anthony Weiner is gone now! Let it go.....
Facing male chauvinism is nothing compare to the males who have to face her face.
Wowsers! I have never seen this video before. Absolutely astounding! Love it!
[ this woman is a criminal. ]
I am sure she was victimzed by all the airforce people who flew her around the country and the world while she was blitzed on government paid for booze....
It was “dog-whistle” chauvinism.
Racism and dummer-than-a-box-o-rocks-ism too.
Nancy, Nancy, Nancy,
It’s not because you’re a woman.
It’s because you are an ignorant sl*t.
My wife could out think you when she was only 2.
(Heck, she out thinks me all the time. )
Anyone who has attained the position of Speaker of the House, and then tells the American people in all seriousness that ‘we must pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it,’ is not someone that American voters should ever take seriously about anything.
