I just watched MTP with Fatboy Russert and I have to say he really grilled Nancy Pelosi on the following:
1) Will a dem Congress try to impeach Bush?
2) Will the dems raise taxes or roll back the Bush tax cuts in order to pay for all her/the dems new domestic iniatives, especially there new massive "energy bill?"
3) Will the dems ban all lobbyists?
He really went after her on the tax and impeachment issues. Pelosi looked very nervous, not ready for prime time. She fumbled her words a lot, and gave very awkward answers. I think the more she, John Conyers, Charlie Rangel, Cynthia McKinney, Patrick Kennedy et. al. speak out for the dem party the better the Repubs will do.
Another possible reason for Timmy's "tough" interview of Pelosi is that her party really doesn't like her and knows she is doing them damage so he was given a green light, so to speak.
