I could just as easily say that Katherine Harris, who has been viciously attacked over her appearance, would not have suffered the hatred she has if she were a man. Maybe this is because the left is patronizing of women and minorities and has deep seated sexist tendencies that stem from paternalism. Or maybe the reality is that she just happens to be a women and the left has other good (in its collective mind) reasons not to like her. I guess if someone wants to pat themself on the back and say "see how unelighten the other party is" there will always be evidence for it. I think the reality is that powerful people in the opposition always get attacked on whatever grounds are available. Hell, if you want to talk about a tough lady who has taken some heat on at least on the race front lets look at Condi Rice, and yet a huge chunk of us racists misogynists on the right would love to see her toss her hat in the ring (won't happen) for 2008. Go figure.

Pelosi is saying all the right things, but I just don't know that she can rein in the more virulent anti-bushites (Waxman et al). Two years of investigations that can be portrayed as political witch hunts will not serve the Democrats well. Can Pelosi, and Reid for that matter, keep things from devolving into such?

The CBers conservativism doesn't make them advance such criticisms, but it does go pretty far in explaining why certain women are their targets.

The reason people hate her is because her looks. She is an example of what happens with an East Coast woman gets old and undergoes various salvage medical procedures.

I do still think, however, that the benefits and disadvantages of being a woman in politics very nearly even out and that (as you say) when they are targeted on a gender basis it is across the political spectrum.

You know the problem there just might be that you look at her and can imagine that she was attractive once. Hillary and Pelosi and just very average 60ish women and you don't expect them to look good. Harris at 50ish is just young enough that you expect her to look better. At least I do.

After almost a full year in office, does anyone think Nancy Pelosi is a good leader?

One thing that nobody has brought up is that Pelosi has large breasts.
Stop denying you never noticed that.
