Nancy Pelosi

Anyone who comes under such withering and dishonest attack by the White House and the Bushevik Royal Court media is certainly worthy of BuzzFlash's notice.

But Nancy Pelosi deserves special recognition for her recent trip to the Middle East. Pelosi's efforts to emphasize diplomacy over killing were such a threat to Bush's ongoing war that the White House went ballistic. Karl Rove rolled out the big guns and fired several volleys -– through the GOP media echo chamber -- of disingenuous, hostile, and scurrilous attacks on the Speaker of the House.

Pelosi put the fear of peace in Bush, Cheney, and Rove –- and peace to them is like sticking a stake into the heart of Dracula.

The road to Damascus was just one of Pelosi's recent acts of leadership that have showed her to be more presidential and worthy of representing the U.S. on the world stage than Mr. Bush or Mr. Cheney.

Pelosi has shown a quiet kind of resolve in the midst of character assassination by the White House. Given all the Democrats who still succumb to the bullying of the Bushevik thugs, Pelosi does not appear intimidated.

She may be pragmatic when it comes to counting the votes, but her actions speak more loudly than what she can muster from her fractious caucus.

Nancy Pelosi, keep acting like a leader. It gives us reason for hope, and for that, you merit this week's BuzzFlash Wings of Justice Award.
