PELOSI: First of all, we were effective at making change. What did we do but stand in the way of Wall Street, big health insurers, Big Oil, and people opposed to collective bargaining? My situation was different from Hillary in that most people did not know me. If your opponents want to mischaracterize you, they can say anything, and they had endless money, secretly amassed. But it was not just about that. It was 9.5 percent unemployment. It didn’t matter if you said to people, “It would be 15 percent if we hadn’t done what we did.” If you don’t have a job, that is all you know.

NJ: What kind of chauvinism have you faced in Congress?

We're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little more now if we can and the rest next quarter.

Not possible.
To have been the victim of male 'chauvinism', one would need first to be female.

That would be a 757 or C32. Don’t give her a bigger plane than she already doesn’t deserve.
