November 13, 2014 Nancy Pelosi on Thursday suggested that sexism plays a role in questions over whether she should remain House Minority Leader after her party's election shellacking last week.

Pelosi challenged how many times reporters had asked that of soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 72, as his party failed previously to capture the Senate majority over three elections.

"When was the day that any of you said to Mitch McConnell when they lost the Senate three times in a row … aren't you getting a little old Mitch? Shouldn't you step aside?" asked Pelosi.

When I was a kid, we had a copy of that song on a 45 record. If you flipped the record over, it played the song backwards.

Alot like the Dems.

How could anyone be charged with sexism vis a vis Pelosi? Nothing with the word sex in it could possibly pertain.

ROFLMTO...my prayers will be answered. I always pray for Pelosi and Reid, that they go to a nursing home (funny farm is fine) and are taken care of by Republicans.... who lost their health insurance through Obamacare...this song is so appropriate.

Ya know, it’s too bad we can’t have an old-fashioned smack-down like that guy on the “F” train in NY.
