D(emocrat)-Day is here

Nancy Pelosi promises not to let all that power go to her head:

"In more than 200 years of history, there was an established pecking order -- and I cut in line."

After calling herself "the most powerful woman in America," Mrs. Pelosi flexed her right muscle like a weight lifter to much applause at an event yesterday titled a "women's tea."

"All right, let's hear it for the power," she screamed as the jubilant applause continued.

The only thing more fun than watching Pelosi over the next two years is going to be watching the catfight that will break out when President Rodham is coronated and Nancy becomes #2, so to speak. Who ever thought national decline could be so entertaining?

UPDATE: NBC's Andrea Mitchell axes the question that's on everyone's mind:

"Are you happy with this big celebration that Nancy Pelosi has planned for herself? Isn't it a bit unseemly to have Stevie Wonder and Tony Bennett and the dinners and the lunches and the brunches and the trip to Baltimore to rename the street in honor of her. Isn't this a little bit too, um, imperial?"

Too Imperial? Oh my dear Andrea, you ain't seen nothing yet...
