Yeah I suppose that speech was ill-timed, but I was glad to hear it made none the less.
And I'm not sure that Pelosi bashed the Republicans, just Bush's presidency, therefore it might have allowed certain house members to gain distance from Bush. Then again Bush condoned the bill, so that might not have worked.
Great speech though -- we need more populism in Congress and in government in general.
