Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace as were her predecessors. There’s no double standard here. But I happen to think that as oppressed people, women who have privilege, have a responsibility to help other women. In the end the boys will turn on her too, and the women she has already fucked over won’t have her back!. You know, my enemy’s enemy is a friend, even when he’s my enemy too!

Together we might not move mountains but we can certainly change elections!

Women have to learn how to stand with women, but it’s difficult because we are trained from day one not to. I defend Pelosi, not because I think she’s done a fabulous job, but because in the long list of Speakers, I can hardly call her worst ever. She’s competing with the likes of Newt Gingrich and Dennis Hastert (perhaps even Tom DeLay.) I mean, if she manages to not have an extra marital affair, not cover up a sexual abuse scandal involving congressional pages, and avoid being indicted, she will have outdone them all.

We really do hold women to a much higher standard. There can’t be equality until we’re willing to view then on a level playing field. In the low standard set by her predecessors, Pelosi is not the worst ever. But yes, I frequently curse and tear my hair out over her.

I would imagine that you have plenty of empty stalls in the women’s room outside of the congressional chambers. Do you just like to hear the echo? I guess you don’t like to have to wait in a line when there are too many women vying for the same stall. Shame. You had so much potential; but you seemed to flush that down the toilet with policies that support women’s health.
