The White House is pleased that people aren't refusing to work with Pelosi because she is a woman. There must be a farm somewhere that grows neanderthals for the Republican Party.
White House spokesman Tony Fratto is one.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A White House spokesman Thursday said President Bush is ready to work with incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California.
Pelosi will be considered "an equal leader in government," White House spokesman Tony Fratto told reporters when asked how he views her.
"There are no questions of whether they sit and talk as equals," he added. "I think it's impressive that no one has any questions of whether they can work together regardless of gender."
