Pelosi came on with big talk and big ideas and thus far has accomplished nothing except pretending to be the Secretary of State. This is a typical "Good Girl Nancy for all you accomplished" fairy tale. She is elected in San Francisco and is absolutely instilled with that flower child value. As to her competance that is certainly yet to be even assessed in a neutral way. I wish her well, but she is off to a big start as a "Movie Queen" but not a legislator and leader.

Up until the last paragraph this is a pretty good, well balanced story.

Good perspective on the incredible challenges Pelosi faces, and how well she's managed them. The what she wears/what she does balance isn't great, but sadly, it's much better than most such articles.
