Strangely enough, I don't like where this is headed. I can see a bus approaching Nancy at a very rapid pace. We all hate Nancy, but she's an incompetent buffoon that makes Inspector Cluseau look like Serpico.

I would rather keep Nancy right where she is, lest she be replaced by someone who'd actually be a competent and capable Speaker - say like Steney Hoyer. Who knows what Stoyer as Speaker, and his puppet masters in the White House could cook up.

You make a valid point, Hoyer has brains.

“I would rather keep Nancy right where she is...”

I’ve had essentially the same thoughts; but there has to be blood somewhere, and she’d be superlatively high profile. Gibbs, he’s the gift that keeps on giving....but press secy’s get axed all the time. Biden’s another one, but he’s not vulnerable. 0bama’s in office ‘til 2012 come hell or high water. (Funny, that aphorism never seemed so appropos, LOL) So on balance, I’d be enormously pleased if under the solar/bio-diesel powered bus, some aditional room could be found.

Point taken... But IMHO we should keep beating on Pelosi at least to the point where "we need glasses", even if not going all the way...
