Mehrsa's Reviews > Pelosi

I was talking to a reasonable friend of mine recently about political divisions and who is to blame and she said something along the lines of "I feel like some people in politics are just mentally ill and totally crazy, like Pelosi--she actually just seems like she should be in a mental institution." I was struck by the comment because she is an anti-Trump person and is not one to just caricature dems, but she felt so strongly about Pelosi. Then I saw this book reviewed in the Times the next week so I picked it up and DAMN is my friend wrong on Pelosi. She is totally and completely capable and a total badass. I don't always like what she does, but I have so much respect for her (I did before I read this book, but much more so after). Obama comes out looking pretty bad in this book--it seems that he threw Nancy under the bus on some of the TARP stuff. Anyway, it seems that she is getting her due in public adoration these days and it is so well-deserved as she has survived so much crap for so long with total grace.
