Congressional Catfight: Jackson-Lee vs. Pelosi
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (at left) and Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (at right) share a lot in common. Both women are longtime members of the House. Both are outspoken, opinionated, and tough.
And both scored victories in the opening round of Congressional Catfight. Pelosi pulled off an upset of top seed Cynthia McKinney, while Jackson-Lee dispatched Virginia Foxx with ease.
Now Pelosi and Jackson-Lee move into the semifinal round, fighting for the right to take on the winner of Katherine Harris versus Barney Frank. Here’s the match-up:

Could Pelosi really ever win a fight? I mean, doesn't she cry in public like once a week?

Peolsi is from Baltimore.
There's no crying in Baltimore!
She'd give some of the bangers on The Wire reasons to change their underwear. Nothing like the threat of an investigation!

There was a rumor floating a few years back that Nancy would take "vacations" for a week - this was code that she was going to the plastic surgeon. I'd hate to see her in a fight, it'd be like Michael Jackson and the nose thing all over again.
