Pelosi Confident She’ll Still be Speaker, Until She Isn’t
When Nancy Pelosi sat down for her keynote address at Women@NBCU’s annual Power of the Purse Breakfast this morning at Cipriani’s in New York, host Jeff Zucker wasted no time getting her take on the state of politics this year. Specifically, the outgoing NBC Universal CEO and president asked if Pelosi herself would still be in office in five weeks.
“I will still be Speaker in five weeks,” she said. “I have big confidence in my candidates. They’re excellent; they’re battle-tested. They know what they believe, and they’re doing just fine in their districts.”
The questioner isn’t so swift either. Of course she’ll still be Speaker in five weeks because, if the candidates Pelosi believes are doing “just fine” get beat like the current polls say they will, she won’t have to hand over the gavel until January, when the Republicans take over the House. She still gets to be Speaker until January, which is why there’s all this talk of a “lame duck” session during which a defeated and vengeful Pelosi and her counterpart in the Senate will cram through all the crap legislation they can imagine down the throats of an American public disgusted with their dunderheaded and disastrous power grabs.
Of course, if she wants to give up her position after her humiliating defeat, I’m sure we could live without her for a couple months.
