Experts Rank Pelosi Among Greatest House Speakers
By Andrea Stone - AOL News
WASHINGTON (Nov. 4) -- Nancy Pelosi may be moving out of her spacious office in the Capitol, but the woman who broke the marble ceiling to become the first female speaker of the House has already moved into the ranks of the most effective legislators in history. "While right now she is overshadowed by this thumping, she's going to rank quite high in the pantheon of modern speakers" of the last 100 years, said Norman Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

The famous hotel, built in 1917 at Pennsylvania Avenue and 15th Street NW, has been the site of many political meetings and a residence for lawmakers. It had become rundown, however, and underwent a two-year renovation after being sold in 2006 to Istithmar Hotels.
