| CSPAN: Nancy Pelosi elected Speaker of the House, Democrats take power Just watched it all on CSPAN, tear-jerking moment If 50 years ago you would have said an italian grandmother would be speaker, everyone would have laughed...how far we've come A lot of mothers and other reps brought their children, it was cute to hear them go "Pelosi!" right after their parents/grandparents did It's funny there are more women in the Iraqi and Afghani parliament then in our congress But back to the point, now starts the Democrats reign of Congress Final Vote: Nancy Pelosi (D) : 233 John Boehnever (R) : 202 (One should note, last time she ran for house leader she won the majority but had Democrats who didn't vote or voted against her, this time every Democrat voted for her) | ||||

| I was actually watching the changeover in the Senate instead What's funny is how the new Minority leaders are talking about nothing but how important it is to work together from both parties, when the GOP has been blatently bullying and just laughing at the Dems for the past 6 years. It's incredibly ironic. | ||||

Rangel is kicking Dick Cheney out of the office he formerly "occupied" in the House -- this happening after Rangel had called Cheney a "son of a bitch" in a major newspaper. | ||||
