ABC Knocks 'Weeping' Boehner as 'Harshly Partisan,' Gushed Over Pelosi as 'Galvanized Steel With a Smile'

ABC Knocks 'Weeping' Boehner as 'Harshly Partisan,' Gushed Over Pelosi as 'Galvanized Steel With a Smile': "Good Morning America's Jon Karl on Tuesday derided the incoming Republican Speaker of the House as 'harshly partisan.' The ABC correspondent joked that John Boehner can look 'like the weeper of the House.' In contrast, then-GMA co-host Diane Sawyer in 2007 lauded Speaker Nancy Pelosi's ascension, praising, 'But her fellow politicians say she's galvanized steel with a smile.'

While Karl dismissed Boehner as a 'weeper,' Sawyer, on January 19, 2007, rhapsodized over Pelosi as a sweeper, glowingly recounting how the first female Speaker picked up garbage: 'We're walking along with the camera, [Pelosi] looks at the carpet. It has lint on it, little scraps of paper. She can't stand it. She gets down and cleans the carpet so we could walk.'"
