After reading Fatal Purity by Ruth Scurr (about Robespierre) the similarities with Pelosi are incredible!

The book is an excellent account of not only his life, but the portions of the lives that he had a direct impact on. It is a biography and a historical look at the social environment of the time. What struck me most, as applicable to today's climate in DC politics, was the blase (to use the French word) manner in which Louis XVI approached the situations that he found himself in. He didn't understand, as some of the current political representatives in DC don't understand today, the seriousness of the attack on the Constitution.
