House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) launched her blog Wednesday, appropriately titled “The Gavel.” The blog will “provide an unprecedented forum in real time on how the people’s house is conducting the people’s business,” Pelosi said.

In the clip below, Pelosi introduces the blog and describes her agenda as restoring “oversight, accountability, transparency to our government.” She also mentions the 52 hearings the House has conducted on Iraq and the current resolution on the floor that condemns the President’s plan to send additional troops to Iraq.
