Pelosi on being Speaker of the House: "Absolutely Fabulous"

Excerpt from Speaker Pelosi's speech before Emily's List (March 2007):

"Since the day I accepted the gavel on behalf of Madeleine and all of America's children, the question I get asked most, from women - young and old, and men too, especially fathers of daughters, is: 'What is it like to be Speaker of the House of Representatives?'

What is it like? It's absolutely fabulous.

I am grateful to my colleagues for their courage in electing me. In doing so, they have brought us closer to the ideal of equality that is America's heritage and hope.

Their courage enabled us to make history. Now let us have the courage to make progress."

"Ab Fab" from our Speaker - how appropriate. You'd think she'd say: "an awesome responsibility" or "humbling" or "a lot of work". No, we get "Ab Fab".

What an idiot.

Okay, but will someone please tell me what this "progress" will look like? What I hear is that NPelosi has backed away from her previous stance in the M.E. Will dems truly make progress thru courageous choices, or sell-out to the hawks who want war with Iran, next.
