Feelin' alright

This is simply amazing:


Congratulations to Nancy Pelosi, the first woman elected Speaker of the House.

On a side note, I completely agree with mcjoan. The media has relatively ignored this story with very little mention made of how historic it truly is. Regardless of your political leanings, it means a great deal to finally have a woman as the Speaker and it should be a cause for celebration. I remember as a kid just how crazy it was when Sally Ride became the first American woman in space, yet Speaker Pelosi is not garnering half the attention. Leading one to wonder if it would kill the conservatives in this country to show a little class.

I recognize a rhetorical question when I see one, but still, I think the answer is, "Yes, it would kill the conservatives. Dead." It'd be kind of cool if they'd at least attempt it though. Would show a little courage too. Not that they have any of that...

Do you think they would drop dead or explode? Just think of the cleanup needed for Denny Hastert.
