“We didn’t lose the election because of me,” Ms. Pelosi told National Public Radio in an interview that aired Friday morning. “Our members do not accept that.”

“The reason they had to take me down is because I’ve been effective in fighting special interests in Washington, D.C.,” Ms. Pelosi said, citing the health insurance and financial services industries. “I’m effective. They had to take me out. I’m also the most significant attractor to support for the Democrats.”

Nancy Pelosi wins today's Douche of the Day award, not because of whether or not her statements are accurate, but because she stated them at all. Sensible people would realize it's not polite to tell others about how great you are.

Reminds me of someone else's humility, also referenced on this blog.
