Gee, the current Speaker thinks the same thing.

You noticed that too, huh?

Newt and House “insurgents” won the “government shutdown” of 1995, Clinton was within a day or two of giving up, according to numerous WH insiders... Unfortunately, Newt had a “senior partner” Bob Dole who wanted to run for President next year and needed to put Newt in his place, so Bob Dole became a “grown up” and made a deal with his friend Bill, for which he was widely praised in the media.

Bob Dole proceeded to resign from his Leadership and Senate seat (also widely praised by the media) and then ingloriously and miserably lose in 1996 elections.

Nancy Pelosi, on the other hand, doesn’t need bungling Harry Reid’s help in “running” the government - she can do it all by herself. Except for making sure that we surrender to al-Qaeda in Iraq she’s been getting most everything she wanted in the House, even with many “conservative” “Blue Dog” Democrats.
