...because there something wonderful about seeing someone who truly deserves this kind of honor receive it. That beautiful portrait along with the words of tribute from a former political rival made the occasion even more special. This great American, who happens to be a woman, is a historic figure who'll be an inspiration to generations to come, and certainly for girls.

In the painting it sort of looks like Nancy took that gavel and busted a hole in the wall to get in there, which on some level, would be appropriate.

in her beautiful red coat with the White House ablaze behind her after shutting down IQ45!

Fortunately, saner and wiser minds prevailed in the portrait choice!

Have been more proud of her, when she tore up that national disgrace’s load of bullshit paper. We have been so lucky to have her in congress. What a treasure.

My friend for a number of years was saying she should retire and enjoy her grandchildren. I kept saying not yet. She's too damn good getting things done. She's the best vote counter the Dems ever had. She's so smart she doesn't have to act dumb to get the job done.

She is a American hero that we should all strive to emulate! Each in our own way.
