From Mr. Clinton’s Monday address:
Consider this, just this. We in America would already have this year a real patients' bill of rights, a minimum wage increase, stronger equal pay laws for women and middle-class tax cuts for college tuition and long-term care if the Democratic Party were in the majority in Congress with Dick Gephardt as speaker and Tom Daschle as majority leader.
In 2002, Mr. Gephardt resigned his position a Minority Leader in 2002 after losing seats to the GOP. Nancy Pelosi (D) 8th Congressional District California, was elected Minority Leader. If Democrats take control of the House, Ms. Pelosi would be in line for Speaker.

Are you kidding me?! I didn't hear his speech (couldn't stand to listen to the big oaf). That is incredible.
Another women gets the shaft from the Democrats.So to speak. ;')
Isn't he speaking of current times, and not after Nov? As in, if they had not lost majority in Congress in 2002?
Pelosi swoons.
Nice catch!
I haven't seen too many bruthas and sistas in leadership positions in the 'Rat party -- and no, the CBC doesn't count.

I think the biggest error in his address is that it is not a jailhouse address.
