Nancy Pelosi- We need more women in Govt (as long as they are not Hillary Clinton)…

Nancy Pelosi is shameless, to think that she would have the audacity to say such stuff barely half a year after doing all she could to prevent Hillary’s ascent to the White House is simply amazing… AFP

House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday said there should be more women in the incoming administration of president-elect Barack Obama, but praised the “diversity” of his team.

“We always want more. There is no question about it,” Pelosi, the first woman in history to head the Congress, told CNN when asked if the gender balance in Obama’s cabinet picks was to her liking.

“When I went to my first meeting at the White House as a leader and looked around and saw that I was the first woman in history to be seated at that table, my first thought was, ‘We want more,’” she said recalling events a year ago.

“But I feel confident (in) the diversity in (Obama’s) cabinet and among the advisers to the president, who, as you know, are as important in many ways as members of the Cabinet,” Pelosi said of her fellow Democrat’s team.
