Line 149:
* Clare Boothe Luce: Congresswoman, [[Intrepid Reporter]], Author, [[Lady of Adventure]], and fabled [[Deadpan Snarker]] (and inveterate rival of [[Dorothy Parker]]). And quite a looker too from what I've read.
** She certainly proves [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]] (Henry Luce -- publisher of ''[[Time]]'' -- was not exactly handsome).
* While on the subject of American Congresswomen, may I suggest [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeannette_Rankin:Jeannette Rankin|Jeannette Rankin]] -- the only person to vote against the United States going to war in both [[World War One|World War I]] and [[World War II]]? [[World War II]] in particular -- she was the ''only'' Member of Congress to vote against the US declaration of war against Japan. Whatever one might think of those votes, standing on your principles like that takes ''balls'' (pardon the pun).
* Nancy Pelosi, the first female Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Second in line to the Presidency for six years, not at ''all'' well-liked by the opposition, but admired by many Democrats. She definitely gives off a "strong mother figure" persona (in her home life, she's the emphatically-Catholic mother of five and grandmother of seven, so far), but she has serious political cred.
** Even [[Memetic Badass|Rahm Emanuel]] won't cross Nancy in public.
