NANCY PELOSI IS A WOMAN!

WHO CARES?

I don't care that the new Speaker of the House is a woman.

The feminists are thrilled.

Throughout the many speeches and events celebrating her new role, Speaker Pelosi, a self-identified feminist, emphasized the importance of her win for American women and working mothers. In her speech before Congress, Pelosi said, "It's an historic moment for the women of America. It is a moment for which we have waited over 200 years. Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just waiting. Women were working. Never losing faith, we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and our granddaughters, today we have broken the marble ceiling. For our daughters and our granddaughters now, the sky is the limit," the Chicago Tribune reports.

Feminist Majority President Eleanor Smeal said of Speaker Pelosi's win, "Feminists everywhere are celebrating. She gives hope to the dream of equality being realized in our lifetime."

When are the self-proclaimed feminists going to move on?

Pelosi has been blabbing about the "marble ceiling" for too long.

It's as if she's the editor of her own chapter in the nation's history.

She's a trailblazer.

Bow down to Queen Nancy.

What a joke!

Pelosi's gender is irrelevant.

I don't care about her chromosomes. XX or XY -- WHO CARES?

I care about her plans for the country. I care about the sort of leader she will be. I care about the fact that she is a liberal extremist and will most likely take the country in the wrong direction.

Yesterday was a circus. Pelosi didn't conduct herself with dignity. It was a party.

From Salon:

Swept into the most powerful political job ever held by a U.S. woman, Nancy Pelosi embarked on a jubilant victory lap with children and grandchildren in tow and a soundtrack by Tony Bennett: "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."

The crooner performed his signature tune at a $1,000-a-head fundraiser Thursday night where Pelosi, 66, celebrated her historic swearing-in as the nation's first-ever female speaker of the House, second in line to the presidency.

..."Democrats are back and that is cause for celebration, and we are back after 200 years with the first woman speaker," the San Francisco Democrat told the roaring crowd of 1,200 at the National Building Museum. "Thanks to you, working moms in this country know there's a mom in the speaker's office who understands their challenges."

As she had earlier in the day after accepting the speaker's gavel from House Republican leader John Boehner, Pelosi thanked her husband, investor Paul Pelosi, her five children and her six grandchildren for helping her move "from the kitchen to the Congress."

"I guess it hasn't really fully landed that I am the person who carries a great deal of responsibility," she acknowledged, "because we have always been a team effort."

...In addition to Bennett, performers Thursday night included Wyclef Jean, Carole King and several former members of the Grateful Dead, one of Pelosi's favorite bands.

Outside there was even a genuine Grateful Dead fan trying to get in, holding a hand-painted sign with the classic Deadhead plea: "I need a miracle." The fan, dreadlocked 30-year-old Scott Orellana, said he didn't have $1,000. A Democratic aide eventually sneaked him in the door.

But mostly Pelosi attracted her own fans, eager to applaud her landmark victory.

"It's inspirational ... I am so thrilled," said Rachel Binah, 64, of Mendocino, Calif., a Democratic activist who brought her 15-year-old niece, Maija, to Washington to witness history being made. "A lot of young people don't really know what we went through to get here."

Sorry.

I don't feel it. I'm not inspired.

I'm nauseated.
