House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a post-inauguration interview with Bay Area reporters Wednesday, said she will move far-reaching climate change legislation this year, but opposes - at least for now - the idea of Congress approving another costly bailout for troubled banks.

The San Francisco Democrat, arguably the second most powerful person in Washington, with immense power to shape the legislative agenda, sought to tamp down expectations about how quickly Congress and President Obama will address vexing problems, from a weak economy to an ailing health care system.

"We can't fix it all overnight," she said from her Capitol office overlooking the Mall, "but we have to begin."

Pelosi said one of her favorite moments from Inauguration Day was when Marine One lifted off the Capitol grounds, signifying former President George W. Bush's exit from Washington. "It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head," she said.

Meanwhile, Nancy’s brain is still akin to a BB in a boxcar.

“Pelosi: It felt like a 10-pound anvil was lifted off my head”

Wow, so she finally followed her doctor’s advice and had an enema.

Red Nancy, gracious to the end to the President who was UNFAILINGLY polite to her, deferred to and defended her imperious demand for a BIG private jet and unprecedented office perks, and rolled over to her on the TARP

A real inspiration and class act for her grandchildren

A representative of the coming change in tone

10 lbs anvil? Shoulda been a 148 lbs Peter Wright dropped from a respectable height.

I think that's a great idea. And make phone calls to her office as well.

Bush's approval rating never got as low as Nancy's did.
