And Then There Were Nun

Today’s Yeas & Nays in the DC Examiner:
If Nancy Pelosi’s mother had had anything to say about it, her daughter wouldn’t have become speaker of the House — she’d have been a nun.
“She wanted to protect me from the world, with all its potential heartaches and disappointments,” writes Pelosi in her new memoir, “Know Your Power,” which hits bookstores later this month. “And in her mind, the answer to this dilemma was simple: I should become a nun. … In time, Mommy got used to the idea that I was not going to become a nun.”
Hard habit to break.
