Nancy Pelosi: At Last a Seat at the Table

Submitted by Betsy Muse on Wed, 08/27/2008 - 12:20pm

I live-blogged Monday's session at Unconventional Women that featured our Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. She did a beautiful job speaking to the topic of bringing more women into public life despite the interruptions by Code Pink members.

The moderator is Ambassador Swanee Hunt, president of Hunt Alternatives Fund.

I know the audio is bad, but she tells such a great story

I have a few more clips. When you listen to her in person and she addresses issues and why certain legislation will or will not pass and what we need to be concentrating on instead of wasting time and money like the Republicans did on impeachment and prosecutions it all makes sense.

I admit, I am a bit enamored of Madame Speaker and tend to appreciate a more common sense approach to conducting the people's business. If impeaching Bush keeps us from passing legislation that insures children (or everyone), provides equal pay for equal work or brings our troops home with honor then it will not have been worth the effort.
