Pelosi : "Did you ever see anything like that?"

The buzz in the speaker's office Monday was not about Bush's address, but about Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy's fiery speech earlier endorsing Democrat Barack Obama.

"Did you ever see anything like that?" asked Pelosi. "Transferring the mantle from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama. It was the most stunning thing. I mean, I couldn't take my eyes off it. And I didn't have any time to sit there and watch TV, you know - we had a whole schedule. I just was mesmerized by it."

Pelosi is staying neutral in the presidential race, citing her role chairing the party's national convention. But she couldn't help being affected watching the endorsement because she grew up idolizing President Kennedy. "That's my era," she said.

1. Don't waste your time--Pelosi was thrown under the bus long ago, perhaps deservedly.

Can't believe some people want to do the same thing with Ted Kennedy, though.
