Job well done

Nancy Pelosi summed up her term as Speaker of the House: "Job well done."

No, really. She actually said that:

"We believe we did the right thing, and we worked very hard in our campaigns to convey that to the American people," she said. "Nine and a half percent unemployment is a very eclipsing event. If people don't have a job, they're not too interested in how you intend for them to have a job. They want to see results."

Asked to assess her tenure, Pelosi quickly answered, "Job well done."

See? You thought I made that up. But I didn't. She actually said that.

But, you know, thinking about it ... she may be right. Depending on what she thought her job was.

• If you thought your job was to bring America to the brink of financial ruin, then job well done.
• If you thought your job was to make Americans miss having Republicans in charge, then job well done.
• If you thought your job was to ram through ill-conceived, unwanted legislation, then job well done.
• If you thought your job was to stand there and look stupid, then job well done.
• If you thought your job was to bring Congress' approval rating down to all-time lows, then job well done.
• If you thought your job was to help Americans understand that voters in your district are stark raving mad, then job well done.
• If you thought your job was to be the punchline of a joke, then job well done.

How would you assess Nancy Pelosi's job?
