cnbc described the meeting as being between "two fiery new yorkers and one feisty..."

i didn't hear the last word, i'm guessing it was californian.

just noting that they could easily have just called them all fiery.

but no. donnie and schumer are fiery, but pelosi can't also be fiery, no. let's single her out as different and call her feisty instead....

Feisty implies someone who punches above their weight. It fits Pelosi just fine.

if the punches were physical, ok, she'd be a lightweight.

but the punches are rhetorical and political. as such, she's the incoming speaker of the house. a heavyweight by any measure.
