I'm amused by the name of the award Pelosi received. "Profile in Courage?" Just what courageous act has Pelosi performed. To me, "courage" is taking on the enemy in battle, rushing into a burning home to save trapped children, rescuing a drowning man, etc. etc.
This award is just a way for liberals to honor other liberals, to pat themselves on the back and tell the world what swell people they are. In other words, it's a meaningless award that renders true courage meaningless.
