Mara Liasson, the national political correspondent for National Public Radio, appeared on Fox News Sunday and compared Nancy Pelosi to Winston Churchill. She said, "Nancy Pelosi did two things for which she will go down in history; she was an incredibly effective Majority Leader- and speaker- when there was an opposition president, she helped make a majority, and when she was in the majority she was the hammer that got through President Obama's agenda and sent it to the Senate. However, that is a completely different role from what she wants to do now for which, I think, she's kind of like Winston Churchill."
