The "Kindly Grandmother" Who Would Be Speaker

For all of those rooting for the GOP to take a hit in November and move the Dems back into power, you better be careful what you're wishing for (from Special Report):

Nancy Pelosi likes to be seen as a kindly old grandmother, but the House Democratic leader is really an "aggressive, hyperpartisan liberal" whose "hard-knuckle" style rivals that of former Republican Leader Tom DeLay.

That according to a new TIME magazine profile in which Pelosi says: "Anybody who's ever dealt with me knows not to mess with me." Pelosi chewed out Florida's Robert Wexler for releasing a Social Security measure last year after privately telling colleagues the party would never issue its own plan.

And she demands unanimous opposition to all GOP legislation, even barring party members from working on bills or holding press conferences with Republicans the party is working to defeat in November.

All of those people who have decried the GOP because of a lack of "bipartisanship", just wait and see how much "bipartisanship" there will be under a Pelosi speakership.
