where's Master Pada-bater2 when you need him most??
He's having @schuylaar run interference for him. Same way she did for Tty when his long time squeeze showed up here ("I don't know Tty and I live in another country. I am certainly not the women who you walked in on mid-thrust.") She'll pretty much do anything to be liked - by anybody.

Pelosi, the first and only woman to ever wield the speaker’s gavel, received 220 votes out of the 430 votes cast. Fifteen Democrats defected, with twelve casting votes for other people and three voting “present.” As speaker, Pelosi will be the most prominent Democratic foil to President Donald Trump and second in line to the presidency.
