Stop Whining, Madame Speaker

Oh, honestly. Read this silly profile of Nancy Pelosi. Count how many times she either says or implies that she has been treated unfairly because she is a woman. Come on! She's the Speaker of the House, second in line for the Presidency. It is a bit jarring to hear someone with her situation in life paint herself as a victim. I mean, come on!

If someone is a woman or black or gay or Mormon or Muslim or whatever--any kind of minority, then they need to be mature enough to do the job and stop ascribing every bit of opposition to the sexism/racism/homophobia/religious intolerance of voters. It gets kind of old.
