1. Begins with Jan 6.

1987 when Pelosi was 1st sworn into the House there were only 23 women.

"She came into a totally paternalistic society with a lot of crudeness"

3. I haven't seen the entire documentary yet, but it's long past time for her to be honored

She's absolutely amazing, could have retired long ago, but she has stepped up when she was needed and is a master at handling the job.

2. 30 years ago, I would have declared that she's too "status quo".

Not anymore. I thank God that she is in charge of the House.

4. Same here, I can't imagine where we'd be without her

Especially during those nightmarish 4 years. She's certainly going to go down in American history...
