Now w/ Alex Wagner and Nancy Pelosi...

Regardless of Politics, Policies, or Priorities, I am impressed, embarrassed, and hopeful.

Watching Alex interview the former Speaker of The House is surprising. I just keep thinking of what unbelievable obstacles Ms. Pelosi has had to overcome, the strength she must have, and the uncanny effectiveness she has demonstrated. She got the ACA passed. I like the enthusiasm that Ms. Wagner shows while asking her questions. These women are impressive.

I really admire their intelligence.

EDIT:
Oops... forgot to mention the embarrassment. I am embarrassed that I have not used my intelligence and opportunities as effectively as these two women. Eh, I had weird ideas about working hard for anyone or anything that did not give me immediate gratification when I was younger. I always thought I would die before I got old. Stupid song...

The Who ruined my life

Alex is a good feminist and I am glad she asked Nancy the big F question.
