- Go to Nancy Pelosi is Learning Public Speaking from President Bush!
FW, you're slipping!
You opined, "Why are you mocking Ms. Pelosi because she's NOT a professional, telegenic politician? Speaking in public is one of her main weakenesses. She appears hesitant and halting in front of the bright lights. Her constituents, however, must be very pleased with her work on their behalf when the TV news crews have gone home."
And how many times have you mocked President Bush for similar failings?

Uhhhhh??? Not a Professional politicial.....common person??? LOL
She became involved in
politics at an early age and her father,
Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr., was a U.S. Congressman from Maryland and also a
Mayor of Baltimore.
Pelosi attended Trinity College (now Trinity Washington University) in Washington, DC, where she met her future husband, Paul Pelosi. When the couple married, they moved to his hometown of San Francisco, where his brother was a member of the city's Board of Supervisors (San Francisco city & county--council).
Once the youngest of their five children became a senior in high school, Nancy Pelosi became involved in Democratic politics, working her way up to becoming party chairwoman for Northern California, and joining forces with one of the leaders of California Democratic Party politics, 5th District Congressman Phillip Burton.
When Burton died in 1983, his wife Sala won a special election to complete his term. When she became ill with cancer, she suggested that Pelosi run for her seat in 1988. Sala Burton died on February 1, 1987, just a month after being sworn in for a second full term. Pelosi won in a special election to succeed her, narrowly defeating left wing San Francisco Supervisor Harry Britt, and took office on June 2, 1987. She was elected to a full term in 1988 and has been reelected eight times, often with more than 70% of the vote. The 8th is one of the safest Democratic districts in the country; Democrats have held the seat since 1949. Pelosi has kept this tradition going. She has never faced a credible Republican opponent, which is not surprising since Republicans only make up 13 percent of registered voters in the district.
Nope.....no political background here............daughter of a sharecropping Congressman and former Mayor.......ROTFLMAO!

The House is supposed to represent ordinary people ...
