Hello Tom,
Listening to your conversation with Nancy Pelosi yesterday I was appalled by her attitude and dishonesty. As a woman of her generation I was thrilled and proud when she became the Speaker of the House. To my dismay, I am disappointed by her leadership for reasons clearly stated by a few of your callers. However, her performance during the democratic primaries when she clearly demonstrated her preference for Obama (without mentioning his name) and her desire for Hillary Clinton to end her campaign prematurely was surprising to me. That, a person who could be in the situation of leading our country in place of the president and vice-president, can demonstrate such disregard for our democratic process and so much disrespect for the people of this country is completely inadmissible to me. She disrespected one of your callers, Tony, who I agreed 100%, and the rest of your audience.
Thank you,

Vivian Pera

Tom,

As I said in my email to you last night, you should have challenged Nancy Pelosi when she emphatically, rudely, and impatiently denied that there was any truth to Toni’s criticism that Pelosi had “over-reached” her position in trying to short-circuit the democratic process of selecting a nominee.

Toni’s criticisms are well justified, and I completely agree with her. Pelosi’s haughty contempt for Toni’s opinion was ill advised, considering that 17-18,000,000 people voted for Hillary Clinton, including me and my husband (at the Iowa caucus 1/3/08) and most of the constituents of Pelosi’s own state, if not her own district.

There’s no way I’m buying Nancy Pelosi’s book, as she is definitely not in a position to advise anyone’s daughter, including her own. She’s a Queen Bee par excellence. I personally loathe such women. Like Clarence Thomas, she is all too anxious to pull up the ladder behind her.

Thank you for your attention,
Maria Houser Conzemius

What an interesting interview. Rarely do we get to hear a politician of such high stature as Nanci Pelosi’s lose their composure while answering a question.

I only wish you had pressured her more on FISA and on her lack of opposition to waterboarding when she was first briefed on it.

Nancy Pelosi strikes me as a decent person but she is just not up to the task of ending the disastrous war in Iraq or protecting our constitution from the executive branch.

I wish her well but she is one of many representatives I hope will soon be retired by the American people (if the votes are counted, we might really get some new leadership).

With all due respect to Madam speaker Pelosi I have to say her tenure has been a huge disappointment.
The Democrats act like a whipping post more than an opposition party.

Carl Rove is now officially being held in contempt of Congress. Will the Madam speaker respectfully have him arrested? I think not.

The impeachment of Vice President Cheney is highly in order.
While I am at it lets add David S. Addington, Alberto R. Gonzales, and Rumsfeld to the list of criminals.

I have to also suggest to the Democrats to look back to the Nixon era to get their mojo back in how an opposition party is supposed to conduct themselves.

It seems to me the only people who have a spine are congressmen such Dennis Kucinich.

Pelosi was not disrespectful at all to Tony; she said a couple of times that she wanted to respect his opinion but that she disagreed with him and she explained why. This is a news and opinion program; he expressed his and she expressed hers.

Bush knows what’s in Pelosi’s closet. that’s enough to keep her in line.
