Pelosi can't think of any mistakes she made

I completely stand behind my call a few days ago for Nancy Pelosi to step down as House Speaker.  We need a sea change of younger leaders that are allowed into leadership positions.  Ranking party leaders based on seniority only rewards those entrenched in the quicksand of the Washington establishment.

Other than networking with shady people, when you are part of the Washington establishment you start acting above everyone else.  In fact, you begin to sound like George W. Bush.  This week, when asked by a reporter about her biggest mistake as House Speaker, Pelosi could not think of one:

“I don’t want to sound like I’ve made no mistakes. I’m confident Ihave. I just haven’t — you just put me under the spot here, and maybeI’m not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one,” hesaid.

I don't know about all of you -- but I want a House Speaker that constantly evaluates him or herself, and has the courage to admit mistakes.  A true leader has the humility to be his or her own critic.  If you can't think of any mistakes, then you certainly are not in a position to learn from them.
