Michelle Cottle argues that Clinton has made Pelosi seem tough:
…the individual most responsible for Pelosi’s newly fearsome stature is Hillary Clinton. It was, after all, the letter from angry Hillary donors that overnight cast Pelosi as a defender of the Democratic grassroots. Progressives in particular–many of whom spent much of last year trashing Pelosi’s leadership as timid and pathetic– celebrated her refusal to be cowed by arrogant party fat cats. Likewise, reports that pro-Clinton movie mogul Harvey Weinstein had tried to compel Pelosi to back his plan for a revote in Florida and Michigan (charges that Weinstein has denied) raised hackles around the speaker’s office and burnished the image of Pelosi as a bulwark against an out-of-control Clinton machine.
You mean resisting Clinton bullying isn’t proof you’re a misogynist?
