It's pretty clear that there's a mostly standardized transparency used by various members of the right wing media to frame members of the opposition. I am highly confident that if Pelosi is replaced with someone else that transparency will be removed from her (maybe not removed, probably just copied), slightly modified, and then applied to her replacement. The problem isn't with Pelosi, but with the way she's portrayed to people who are predisposed to dislike her.
The continued relevance of Newt Gingrich is proof that the establishment right doesn't really care about congressional leadership as measurement of a politician's worth. Maybe Pelosi should retire and build a career out of mulling a run for president every four years.
