Hello...my name is byronius...and I'm a Randi Rhodes worshipper. I've been Randi-sober for...zero days. In fact, I'm Randi-high RIGHT NOW!

10. Oh yeah, Will, oh yeah

This day in my little life is dedicated to my 12 year old daughter. (Plus, I recorded 4 hours of C-SPAN she is going to HAVE to sit through--heheheh.)

[Irishonly]

54. I hear you

Sometimes my sixteen year old daughter's friends forget how political I really am especially when I am in mom mode. They were reminded today when everything came to a halt as soon a Pelosi was handed the gavel. Fortunately, they were still around when they heard Senator Boxer's comments about believing there would be a woman president before there would be a woman Speaker of the House. History was made today.

[Tuesday_Morning]

11. Beautiful!!

:kick:

[DinahMoeHum]

12. Hey, Will. Coming soon: pictures from Bush's SOTU address. . .

with Pelosi right behind him!

Bush lies are getting far more press than my scoop.

[grace0418]

31. Exactly. As I said elsewhere today, I wait for the day when it's no big deal to

have a female Speaker, a female POTUS, etc. Today I am definitely celebrating, but I am NOT satisfied. Not yet.

[MrPrax]

91. Indeed...

My condolences...ONLY your First Speaker of the House?

When I first read this randomly by posters here last last Fall during the election, I thought for sure that must have been wrong -- surely a woman must have been a Speaker at some point? Then the Media started chirping this potential triumph...doh

Too bad these days, one's worst thought about the US is usually the correct one.

Forward to Sean Hannity

email is
[e-mail]
for saying that he rather die than for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker of the House and asking viewers "Do you really want to see Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House?"

[Ilsa]

61. If it wasn't a crime, sending him a noose or other object

of self-destruction would be a hoot!

[Jim Lane]

82. We could suggest he borrow a noose from George Allen.

Or maybe Allen's already given it to McCain, who, IIRC, promised to commit suicide if the Democrats took control of Congress.

I don't think it would be a crime to remind McCain of what he said.

[Raffi Ella]

Wooooooo!

HELL YEAH

25. all that is missing is a pic of a sulking FORMER speaker Hastert.

[stellanoir]

26. only Mr. Pitt could garner 19 rec's on monosyllabic blathering laughter and a

few choice picts.

Is it time yet for the "Oooga Woooga Boooga Smoooga" victory chant, that you recommended that we delay on election night yet Will?

:woohoo:

28. Go Madame Speaker!

Her outfit looks nice. :)

[hashibabba]

29. Thanks for the Hannity address. I wrote. I have to say, I'm getting

nasty in my old age. I've always felt like its better to rationalize with someone instead of just being vitriolic. But lately, I've just been too fed up to be polite to our *news* (fairy tale) people.

My husband, by nature, is a quiet and laid back man, but he is so thrilled over the Democratic takeover; he just keeps saying to me that "it feels so good to have the democrats back." I'm just happy we both lived long enough to witness this. Happy days are here again!!!!!

68. I was just ROTFLMAO tonight listening to the Repuke's 'Truth Squad'

(like they would know truth if they saw it). They were bitching and moaning on the floor of the House about how it wasn't fair they didn't get to do amendments to any of the initial legislation, blah, blah, blah..... Talk about a bunch of freaking hypocrites! It was just cracking me up. We need to send a box of pacifiers to all the Repukes so they can soothe themselves while we take control for a change!!!!

did anyone see the sour face on Hastert when he was sitting in the BACK row? :rofl: :evilgrin:

[kiteinthewind]

71. Missed that, but he always looks sour! nt

73. You could feel the resentment emanating from the GOP

side of Congress. They were mad 'cuz they never get to make history--well, history that moves things forward and makes things better, and they keep trying to blame that on us and it keeps not working!

[SydneyBristow]

74. just a suggestion...

i think, in honor of the fab nancy, there should be a pelosi avitar (i think thats the little box picture thing under our names)

that would be sweet, i mean there is gore, edwards and kerry, why not a woman in that role!! lol

77. I can't stop laughing and crying and jumping up and down...

and clapping, every time I see it (3 times today so far). And so, the beginning of the end of home-grown tyranny begins (I hope). Bonus: while Madame Speaker Pelosi hasn't actually broken through the political "glass ceiling," but she has definitely seriously cracked it. Thank you, American voters!!!
