This headline made me laugh:
Pelosi lays down the law with Rahm
Of course the Speaker is allowed to say and do whatever she wants when it comes to working with the new administration. But we're talking about a congressional leader who has acquiesced to the Bush administration on just about everything. Reid and Pelosi have embarrassed us time and time again with their ineffectual leadership and so whenever they start "laying down the law," they remind me of Barney Fife.
