In an interview from her Capitol office, Pelosi characterized Tuesday's vote as a referendum on the war, shrugged off President Bush's efforts to make her liberalism a national issue, described the current GOP leadership as a "freak show," and expressed confidence about her party's prospects to pick up the 15 seats it needs for a majority.
"We're going to take back the country for the American people -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- because it has been held hostage by the radical right wing of the Republican Party," Pelosi said.
"This is a freak show, and it has to come to an end," Pelosi said. "This is about a Congress and White House whose purpose is to concentrate wealth into the top 1 percent of our country at the expense of the middle class."
If Democrats win, and Speaker Dennis Hastert is forced to hand the gavel to Pelosi, "I'll receive it, in my view, from the hands of special interests on behalf of America's future."

haha, IATZ
Ok ok, you're right. There's nothing wrong with Pelosi. It's just fear mongering going on here at FR
If Pelosi tries to dictate Iraq policy to the commander in chief, Bush can only do one of two things: kiss her ring or slap that bitch silly. I doubt he would do the former, but I might support impeachment proceedings against him if he did.
A shame that district doesn't have any levees that need replacing.
I have a good friend that is Chairman of the DNC in Harris County (Sorry) but like I tell him when we joust, "Vote Early and Vote often"
We need to get the Republicans out en masse
Is that Pelosi, or Mary Tyler Moore?
It is hard to tell death masks apart.
I will bet there is very little left of her that is real.
Are you paid by the DNC to post your baloney? Good grief you are just so obvious! All that hate you have for Bush is going to cause wrinkles and age you very quickly.
S-C-R-E-E-C-H...
Pelosi: What I want for this country is anarchy because I'm already a rich little buzzard and I don't give a rip what happens to everyone else. Berkely and San Francisco values, don't ya know...
Pelosi said this morning on WJR 760AM Detroit that the Democrats will bring a 'new civility' to congress when they win, and would not pursue impeachment of our POTUS. Then I looked out the window and saw a flock of flying pigs.
The dems seem determined to falter. If so, they will most certainly fail.
Why does she think that if the Dems win that the speakership is her's for the taking? Deals made in back rooms, or what?
