5. Waiting for Pelosi bashers to say something nice about her.

6. Three Cheers For Madame Speaker, Sir

It will be interesting to see the details emerge. I doubt she had to give up much, a lot of pressure was being applied.

The propensity of our 'moderate' wing for this kind of brinksmanship continues to get right up my left nostril. As you know, I have little taste for the 'lefter than thou' elements, but taking the actions of officeholders only, the 'moderate' faction causes far more difficulty.

11. Remember years ago when young MSNBC legacy reporter, Luke Russert, who hadn't paid his dues asked

Pelosi outside House chamber when she was going to retire and give somebody younger a chance? There is NO better vote counter than Pelosi and it looks like she's an even better strategist. I thought at the time it was an entitled and insolent question and I have thought of that moment many times in the past few years.

I often think that's one of the things wrong in Congress (and the Senate) now. Nobody wants to sit back and observe and learn how things work. The Republicans want to be outrageous and don't even know what the rules are but follow McCarthy's instructions and push outrageous things to get on TV and show their people they're "working" for them.

[George II]

12. Thankfully Hakeem Jeffries has been quietly sitting back (well, not all the time) and observing....

....and learning how things work.

[PatSeg]

18. Oh yes, I remember that moment

What an annoying little twerp he was. Now he's ancient history and Pelosi is still making history. Sometimes there is no substitute for the experience that comes with age.

[2naSalit]

13. She most certainly is all of that...

And nothing less! She is the greatest Speaker in our history as far as I can tell.

[Hekate]

14. Remember this...

24. ....of ALL time....

25. Even Tweety, who worked for Tip, said

Speaker Pelosi was the best Speaker of the last 50 years.

[liberalla]

26. I hadn't heard that! K & R!

I hope she will stay in that role for a while.

[tavernier]

27. I'm still despondent because my friend took a photo of us at a JJ dinner,

and has never been able to find it.


The blank space on my wall still waits for the day when the photo will miraculously be found.

[Cha]

28. Rt TY & Pres Biden & Nancy Pelosi!

[Demsrule86]

29. I have always considered Tip O'Neil as the best speaker but I do believe Nancy has him beat and

in way more difficult times too.
