"We have waited over 200 years for this time to come," Mrs. Pelosi said on the eve of her selection as speaker, a position that makes her second in line to the presidency after Vice President Dick Cheney."...Let's hear it for the power"?"We will not just break through a glass ceiling, we will break through a marble ceiling," she said. "In more than 200 years of history, there was an established pecking order -- and I cut in line."
After calling herself "the most powerful woman in America," Mrs. Pelosi flexed her right muscle like a weight lifter to much applause at an event yesterday titled a "women's tea."
"All right, let's hear it for the power," she screamed as the jubilant applause continued.

I can't imagine any of the Founders talking like this.
Gerald Ford certainly would have never talked like this. This kind of thinking probably never even entered his mind.
Elected officials who are this blatant about love of power are... well, dangerous.

ReplyDeleteNo but now that you recommended it I certainly shall :-)
