A reader wonders just how badly Nancy Pelosi wants to be House Minority Leader: “Let’s see how she feels after a year or so of flying on (shudder) commercial airplanes with hoi polloi. She may decide that’s too great a sacrifice and retire to Marin County.”

She’ll probably have to get by on First Class, presuming no friendly CEO is willing to help out with a private jet. Perhaps Barney Frank and Chellie Pingree can give recommendations.
