Nancy Pelosi is drunk with power. If she were a rational person, she'd realize that she's no Tip O'Neill. In fact, she might be the worst Speaker ever, at least in my era of consciousness. She needs to retire, effective immediately.
And I hope with all my heart Steny doesn't get the Minority Leader position. I'd like to see him start representing us instead of the party and the people who grease his palm.
On a related note, what kind of lunatic wants to rumble in politics through their golden years?? Are they that freaking pathetic and insecure that they can't take their money and legacy and go home? Build a little cabin in Idaho, fish for trout? Maybe get to know their family members before they die?
