Thank You!

We tend to be a sarcastic group around here but if our readers(?) do not mind I'd like to have a moment of sincerity.

Thank you, Nancy Pelosi!

I, for one, truly appreciate your efforts during your tenure as Speaker Of The House. I am glad you have "no regrets" because I do not believe you should. You are a true progressive voice who successfully herded cats (i.e. the Blue Dog Pussies) to have what some historians are calling one of the most legislatively productive sessions of Congress in the past century.

I'll be honest. I was pretty down on Tuesday night and yesterday and, well, I still am to some extent but I feel better thinking that eventually there will be some payoff to the efforts of the health care bill. I think it will have a positive impact and hopefully the Democrats will earn some political capital from it.

Depressed Democrats/Liberals/Progressives might be slightly uplifted from watching this clip from The Rachel Maddow Show on Election Eve:
