From the end of the article:

She has pledged that as Speaker she would give the Republicans rights they’ve denied the Democrats, like allowing them to introduce amendments to bills. But she may have trouble reining in the Democrats’ appetite for revenge. There’s already talk of multiple investigations and impeachment of the president.

"No, impeachment is off the table," she says.

"And that's a pledge?" Stahl asks.

"Well, it's a pledge in the – yes, I mean, it's a pledge. Of course it is. It is a waste of time," she replies.

"Wouldn't they just love it, if we came in and our record as Democrats coming forth in 12 years, is to talk about George Bush and Dick Cheney? This election is about them. This is a referendum on them," Pelosi says. "Making them lame ducks is good enough for me."

(emphasis mine)

This is from October of 2006--before the midterm elections.

4. To make them lame ducks, you have to quit

letting them get away with breaking the law OR ACQUIRING MORE POWER. Pelosi is the one with the behavior of a lame duck. Forgiveness is not possible for me. I wish I lived in her district so I could vote a decent democrat in her place.

6. what a surprise. NOT. They are all like this--complacent.

As soon as they get into position, the powers that be reign them in. It's not just Pelosi. It will be anyone in her position. That's how they GET their position.
