#1 Heh. The Daily Beast retitled it, "Pelosi's Two-Step on Debt Deal".
Sounds like her editor's think Eleanor's full of shit too...

#2 "Gutsy" in this case means delivering just enough so she didn't get blacklisted by the White House and the DNC.

#4 Perhaps she was referring to Pelosiaying she wouldn't decide whether to support the deal until she had read the bill. Now THAT took guts or chutzpah or something.

#7 Pelosi was not going to vote on the bill until she read it. So much like her stance on ObamaCare. "You have to pass it to find out what's in it." What a hypocrite. By the way she voted for the bill--did anyone ever doubt it.

#8 Shes making Boehner sweat

Boehner probably didn't give a rat's @ss what Pelosi did. And neither did Obama.

#10 Yeah, she's gutsy and a skilled negotiator, and she held her ground and refused to compromise - not like those hard-headed conservative bozos that wouldn't compromise.

Call me cynical.
