Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(R), D-NV, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, hold a news conference on "The State of the Union 2007" 19 January, 2007 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. The new Democratic-controlled US Congress is trying to reassert itself as a counterweight to President George W. Bush as it looks for ways to chip away at the president's prerogative to conduct foreign policy, especially in the case of Iraq. Photo:Tim Sloan/AFP AFP via Yahoo! Canada News - Jan 20 9:28 AM

Amazing what one can accomplish when not worried about maintaining an atmosphere of bipartisanship.

[IronJack]

rammed six major bills through
stomped out smoking privileges
sidelined a committee chairman
claimed [some office space] for herself.

Woo hoo! The country's back on the healing path, and redemption is just around the corner! These bold acts move us light years forward in our eternal struggle against an idle House, smoke-filled antechambers, powerful committee chairs, and empty offices.

"We did what we promised the American people we would"

Some promises are just meant to be broken, yaknow..

Some might call it lying when one gives one's word out of one side of the mouth and then..

Well, we can see for ourselves what a dems word is worth these days. ;-)

Indeed. A lesson could be learned, but probably won't.

But even Nancy can't outb*tch this b*tch:

[alloysteel]

A real ball buster.

And we ain't talking about paintball, either.

Yes Ironjack, she is a very smart and brilliant women, destined for much higher office. What a sleeper she has been wasting her time in California when she's was capable of bringing utopia to the world...singlehandedly!

[IronJack]

Well, how many Speakers do you know who claimed their own office space!!!! Within the first 100 hours of the new session, no less!

I stand in awe as the future unfolds at her feet ...

[NormsRevenge]

Yes,, all fine and good, she done rammed it home in record time, She da Man now! .. but can she bake cookies. ;-)

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Amen to that!

[bmwcyle]

All those girls are dangerous.

[IronJack]

can she bake cookies.

Let's put it this way: if Jack Bauer is looking for the perfect mate, he'd need to team up with Chuck Norris to be worthy of her.

Her cookies would make Betty Crocker take up raquetball. Plus, she can bake them while banning smoking from the House lobby! Martha Stewart can't touch dat!

[Ritemind]

This is not a new thing. We would all still be in the Garden of Eden if some woman didn't screw it up.

"An AP-AOL News poll taken Jan. 16-18 put her approval rating at 51 percent "</p>Hmmmm.....barely half the people polled by the Liberal-biased pollsters rated the banjo-tight-faced one as "approved"? Doesn't show much support in my book.....

[Raycpa]

When republican's take over "they march in lockstep".

[JSDude1]

NO AMEN TO THAT: Pelosi is still a weenie (or weenieless), liar (and her agend with exception to the 'minimum wage') will NEVEr become law (thank goodness for President Bush, and the Senate, in its more reasoned rule. on this one..

Pelosi SUCKS!
