Nancy Pelosi Holds Forth For Eight Hours

"WASHINGTON — Representative Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, took to the House floor at precisely 10:04 a.m. E.S.T. Wednesday, intent on speaking about the young undocumented immigrants known as “Dreamers.”
More than eight hours later, she finally stopped talking.
Her marathon monologue — highly unusual for the House, which has no equivalent to the filibuster in the Senate — came as Republicans are scrambling to pass legislation to keep the government open. A short-term funding bill expires on Friday.
Ms. Pelosi has said she will not vote for the measure; she is protesting its lack of protection for the Dreamers, young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, who have been shielded from deportation by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, an Obama-era initiative that President Trump has suspended.
Her talk was quickly dubbed the DACA-Buster on Twitter. (Twitter users also noted, in admiration, that six hours in, Ms. Pelosi was still wearing her four-inch heels.)" NY Times

That ain't nothin' for a female. Missus Grouch ones't chewed my ass for 17 hours straight and never did repeat herself. I'd have been awed had I not been over served at the time. Hope ol' Nancy got some of that poison outta her system and worked through some issues.

So much for the misogynistic/ageist whining that Nancy should step down and let the kids take over. I'd like to see any man try to equal this at 77 years of age and in 4" heels. (grin)

I suspect it's more a tribute to the holding power of Depends than statement of
ol' Nancy's toughness.

Not likely ol' son. I'm not one of them girly men who like to hear themselves speak so much they can't put a sock in it. This typing thang is easy but truth told I been married to my ball and chain for 55 years and probably ain't talked 8 hours total since I said I do.
