Loving Nancy (In a Purely non-Sexual Way)

Nancy is one of the Good Gals. She really is. She's not perfect, no one is, but the fight she's fighting is the one we want to see. If you only make one call to a politician this year, be sure to say, "...and I strongly support Nancy Pelosi!" Seriously. Where Reid will let us down and speak to us in honied tongue, Nancy is the Real Deal. I offer this as the smallest glimpse into why She Totally Rocks:

As a strong advocate for open and transparent government, I am pleased that C-SPAN is expanding access with “Creative Commons” licensing to its extensive video coverage of federal government activities.

The House of Representatives is called the People’s House for a reason and as Speaker, I am committed to ensuring our government is fully accessible and transparent. This decision, along with our work to webcast committee hearings, is a solid start.

A "solid start." As in, "there's more we can and should do in this vein." Bless her!

I am proud to join citizen journalists and bloggers in the rapidly expanding field of web video, and you will continue to find video coverage of what Congress is doing for the American people right here on The Gavel.

Swim in the bliss of the words "transparency" and "access." For a change! Without this sort of action, we are all blind, and thus powerless. Thank her the next time you're dialing. And remember it, the next time you think that she is the proper focus of your enmity. She's not.

Nancy Pelosi

Ms Pelosi was educated by nuns who were dedicated to the same principles and values taught by the woman who mentored Eleanor Roosevelt, as Sara describes in her post of January 11, titled Pelosi Culture, at

When Ms Pelosi said, the day she took office, "we have waited a long time for this", I thought, she's talking about more than House speakership.
