Unless you are the actual person who is "the Speaker of the House", in which case it is probably a pretty cool thing and an honor.

So, that's why I am happy for her. Now, she has lost her first battle over Abscam Jack, but there will be plenty more of 'em for her to fight. She might even win a few!!
Yeah, you're probably right, it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. I just think it's a significant milestone for women. We're that much closer to having a woman as vice president and/or president some day.

Miranda for president 2008!

Re: Nancy Pelosi elected first Woman Speaker
I don’t know…I think something is fishy.

I mean first Pelosi is picked and then the guy she is pushing for is dropped into the well over her arch nemesis……Some thing just doesn’t add up, I have a feeling Pelosi won’t be having a good time in her new position……


But then, I don’t like her and could be hoping.
