Summary
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful woman in American political history. Susan Page is the USA Today Washington Bureau Chief and author of Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and The Lessons of Power. (Click on the link to see the book on Amazon.) Bill loved the book and Susan reveals the Nancy Pelosi who may be bad at doing press but is unparalleled at running The House. Oh, and she never forgets. Ever. Nor is she afraid of Presidents, Democrat or Republican.
