1. And I nominate Nancy Pelosi for Person of the Year!

I guess gushing about Pelosi is my main bag now! Shoot me, but I adore her.

[Stinky The Clown]

3. I'll stand right next to you and cheer!

I think she's done a remarkable job thus far and I know "we ain't seen nuttin' yet!"

[Gregorian]

6. I'm not the type either. But she has me spellbound.

She knows something. I can see it in the gleam in her eyes. I don't think it's just ambition. It's wisdom and excitement. A combination that kills.

9. On 'ambition' .......

.... I have NO reason to say this besides my own gut, but I see her having NO ambition beyond being Speaker of the House .... the best one in history.

11. CNN said today she's on the list of possibilities for Time's Person of the Year...

Each weekday, Wolfie poo has a segment where Time Magazine gives out another name of a person on the list they're considering and the reasons that person made the list. Today they announced that Nancy Pelosi was being considered!!

7. Did Cheney's office belong to Ways and Means previously?

My sister said Rangel mentioned it. Is he taking it back?

[Monkeyman]

8. Not Sure but that may be right hmmmmmmm this could get to be fun

[Pirate Smile]

10. Yes. Cheney has a Senate office because of the VP's Senate role.

The House Repubs gave him a House office too. It had belonged to the Ways and Means and Charlie does want it back. I haven't seen any more details then that. I'd say Charlie should get it. There is no reason in the world to let Cheney keep that office.
