GOP slams Pelosi even when she agrees with Cheney

Is the impeccably groomed, stately looking, self-described "mother of five and grandmother of five" scaring Republican congressional leaders, or are they having a hard time getting their "groove" on while they learn to deal with a spitfire of a female opposition leader?

Some are crying "gender bias" over Republican attacks and counterattacks lobbed at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California and her claim that if the Bush administration caught Osama bin Laden tomorrow, the country wouldn't be "any safer." Only problem is, she follows a long line of GOP leaders in making that claim, and top House Republicans such as Majority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter of California haven't chastised their fellow party members.

...

Pelosi, however, doesn't shrink from controversy. In fact she's proving to be one of the toughest-talking Democratic congressional leaders in recent times. She never shies away from calling Republican execution of the war on terrorism "failed" or "incompetent." Maybe the good ol' boys on the Hill just need a little time to learn how to respond to high-decibel rhetoric from a woman in a way that doesn't blow back up in their faces like a live grenade.

1. I love it that Nancy Pelosi is frightening the Rethugs. I hope she

keeps on frightening them.

They deserve a little political trauma after all the bullshit they've been dishing out in Bush's name these last 6 years.

Go, Nancy.

4. That should be a bumper sticker

"Strong women scare Republicans more than terrorism ..."

2. You know how the fundies feel about women keeping their

silence in the church -- and the House.

3. It's funny they find her frightening.

Now Marsha Blackburn-that's scary!

They haven't been this scared of her before, she's got them on the run now. Yes! *pumps fist*
