Not a surprise; she got her little pat on the head. And pitifully made a big hoopla about it, to boot.

Yes She did. #StatusQuo RT @amandacarpenter: So Pelosi really did throw herself a big press conference to "announce" nothing is changing.

The news was met with resounding yawns.
Not a surprise. Pelosi has leverage because Boehner doesn't have 218 reliable votes + WH

Heh.
Twitchy will monitor and update with any other not-so-shocking developments.
Update:
Not surprising — Once again House Dems choose to be led by the far left by keeping Nancy Pelosi. #tcot

This Pelosi thing is the biggest news since Chuck Hagel called reporters to Nebraska to tell them he wasn't running for president.

Update: Whoops!
She wrongly claimed that she did… MT @lukerussert: Pelosi press conf is so upbeat and jovial you'd think she won the Speaker's gavel back.
— Brad Dayspring (@BDayspring) November 14, 2012
That’s right, she did.
OMG! What an IDIOT. Pelosi says "We do not have the majority but we have the gavel… oh wait…"

#facepalm – Pelosi says "We do not have the majority but we have the gavel… oh wait…"

And singing, allegedly.
Is Pelosi drunk? She started off singing, she thinks they have the gavel…

The mocking was swift and awesome.

That gavel gaffe by Nancy Pelosi was epic! Looks like she's been hanging out with Joe Biden a little too long… #tco
— Rachelle (@Shelly__Marie) November 14, 2012
@BDayspring i wonder if Pelosi calls the gavel "my precious"
