Nancy Pelosi is an awesome role model for women.

She exudes confidence and strength.
She is well informed on every subject.
She doesn't take shit from anyone.
She knows how to lead.
She is both family oriented and career oriented.

I just love her and I am glad she is fighting for us.

But so many of the jokes were demeaning to women that I could hardly stand to hear him.

Context is everything.
