A new Congress convenes today with a narrow Democratic majority lording over a despondent Republican minority.
While the full weight of Republicans' powerlessness sinks in after 12 years of control, Democrats are celebrating the historic election today of the first female speaker of the House.
"We have waited over 200 years for this time to come," Mrs. Pelosi said on the eve of her selection as speaker, a position that makes her second in line to the presidency after Vice President Dick Cheney.
"We will not just break through a glass ceiling, we will break through a marble ceiling," she said. "In more than 200 years of history, there was an established pecking order -- and I cut in line."
After calling herself "the most powerful woman in America," Mrs. Pelosi flexed her right muscle like a weight lifter to much applause at an event yesterday titled a "women's tea."
"All right, let's hear it for the power," she screamed as the jubilant applause continued.
When Mrs. Pelosi tried leaving the podium, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, Connecticut Democrat, asked her to stay.
"There is so much love and warmth that's in this room today and that's because of the new speaker," Mrs. DeLauro said. "And that tells you about what the future is all about in the House of Representatives."
Yesterday's event was part of three days of festivities to mark the historic moment. Later, Mrs. Pelosi and special guests dined at the Italian Embassy.
Today will be the official vote by her colleagues installing her as speaker, followed by a "swearing-in celebration concert" in the Great Hall of the National Building Museum.
Tomorrow will feature an "open house for the People's House," a nod to Democrats' professed commitment to the common man. For the rest of the day, Mrs. Pelosi will celebrate her roots with a visit to a statue of her late father, former Baltimore Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro, and later the dedication of a Baltimore street to Mrs. Pelosi.
But wary of accusations of arrogance, Democrats have included other, less celebratory events. Those include a Mass yesterday at Trinity University in remembrance of "the children of Darfur and Katrina and a prayer service this morning at St. Peter's Catholic Church to honor the troops."

that lady's psychotic mean streak will come out and will cost the Dems both majorities and the Presidency in 2008. The "power" has already gone to her head.

Here's a left-leaning critique of the comments by Peter Schweizer (author of Do As I Say, Not As I Do).

Schweizer exposes the non-union status of business holdings of Pelosi eventhough she is a major union supporter and has received major donations from unions.

Notice that even in the defense of her, the facts that her business holdings are non-union is not denied.

UTGradinNC is that you?

Faux News, Shrub.............if it is not you must have a twin.

?

Who in the world would actually be concerned with what happened on election night?

As the campaign lumbers to the finish line, the Republicans desperately hope that the voters will not notice that they -- once the party of small government -- have turned into the party of war-bungling, corruption-tolerating, pork-spewing power-lusting toads, while the Democrats desperately hope that the voters will not notice that they are still, basically, the Democrats.

define "alot closer" for us, please.

nobody, not even the most rabidly republican water carrier thought the GOP would hold on to control in congress. most didn't see the Senate changing hands, but nobody was really surprised.

I will note that it's always sad to see an obvious "progressive" resorting to name-calling vitriol. But, if you're comfortable with your hypocrisy, that's cool because I'm just apathetic to your entire world view.
