Last night, outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi granted her first post-election interview to Diane Sawyer. “I’m a professional,” she said, though Sawyer kept trying to get her to talk about her bruised emotions.
Pelosi didn’t say whether she’s going to try to stay on as Minority Leader — she said all decisions in the caucus are made by consensus. Other than that, much of the interview was spent talking, somewhat vaguely, about Pelosi’s status as first woman speaker. There’s even a clip that might the only occasion George W. Bush has ever said anything to make me warm and fuzzy: when he celebrated Pelosi’s achievement at the State of the Union.
