Remarkable. Congressman Paul Ryan, one of the leading Republicans in the House, says outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has never bothered to speak to him.
TheHill.com has details of Pelosi’s silent treatment:
Outgoing House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is the GOP’s primary source of contact within the Democratic leadership, a top Republican said Monday.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the incoming chairman of the House Budget Committee, suggested Republicans get along best with Hoyer, the second-ranking House Democrat who will stay in the No. 2 position in the next Congress.
“I get along pretty well with Steny. He’s the only one we really talk to,” Ryan said Monday morning on CNBC. “I don’t know Nancy Pelosi. I had a 30-second conversation with her about six years ago, and that’s about it.”
“…She just doesn’t talk; I’ve never talked to her,” Ryan said of Pelosi. “I’m not casting aspersions — just, Steny talks to us.”
Consider yourself lucky, Paul. Not speaking to Pelosi must be like the congressional version of winning the lottery.

I knew I didn't like her the moment she was hitting the gavel and stated that she was now the most powerful woman in the country and couldn't stop saying that she was now THIRD IN LINE to the Presidency. After that I just knew this woman was going to be a problem and I was right. It doesn't surprise me that she doesn't speak to Republicans. She thought that she was going to have the power for so long and no one will get in her way... she was wrong. I am surprised though they voted her as leader so that tells me she knows a lot of secrets or something.
Only the lottery?
I wonder what this century's Marie Antoinette will be famous for? "Let them eat soy" , "Let them wait in line for the ER" ? "Let their children pay our debt"? So many to choose from.
Princess Pelosi did not deign to speak to her Republican inferiors. But there's been a revolution in the Kingdom of Botox and the Republican peasants have taken over the House. Who knows? Maybe now the deposed Princess can find the time to finally read the Health Care bll.
He should not take it so hard- Pelosi finds it hard to talk to anyone; all that fiberglass in her face lift makes it difficult for her to talk to anyone.
