mary ann marsh, mare credit catherine hamm of the daily column, fox news contributors, mary catherine and mary ann, i'm going to keep this straight, did either of you ladies drive a white pickup this morning? >> i think mare credit catherine! bill: so we know it's not you. mary ann, start, is this what democrats need. >> this is about perception versus reality. the perception of nancy pelosi rivals hillary clinton and sarah palin over the past three years, reit alt is no one did to pass the obama agenda better than nancy pelosi. the white house did little to promote it and less to defend it until it was too late and for that nancy pelosi should not pay the price. bill: you support her being house minority leader. >> i do. bill: what is it about nanc we pelosi that would suggest that democrats didn't do enough, they didn't go far enough to the left? >> i think there's a perception and reality problem. yes, the perception of her is very bad and she's become sort of startland -- shortland for the last two years, the reality is the american public doesn't like what she got through and whe

that leaves mary ann holmes, the mother and all the children, including john on the maryland farm withno money for five years. they had no income. they had no bleach garnered to support them. and the hardships they experience, if you read the journals of this family from the time they were close to going hungry at certain periods. so when edwin returns a star in the late 18th east, a wage earner, the person who's going to revive the booth family fortunes, that gives him tremendous power in the family. because whatever john wilkes did as he asserted his career, if it affected is wagering that affected the whole family because edwin was supporting the mother, his sister's, other brothers. said that, by making edwin become in the head of the family, he was basically taking junius brutus' place and that gave him almost a paternal authority over john wilkes. and so having a booth out there at team who wasn't a great talent, who might tarnish the name or you might lead to audience fatigue was an issue that the whole family was concerned and and that gave kind of impetus to address power over

>> ann marie rogers worked on that legislation. i would like her to answer if she can. >> the large tourist hotels that are over 100 years are regulated by the administrative code and it's by lottery, but a lottery will not be allowed until the city produces 600 new rooms of these large tourist hotels. we aren't going to see anybody being able to convert a large tourist hotel into housing in the near term unless we build at least 600 units. commissioner antonini: that's my only problem, i don't know if i can be supportive. i really like the measure, but we have to look at -- particularly the other uses, such as smallest tourist hotels, smallest motels that are tourist, not residential. and i can live with the prohibition of conversion of existing housing units, but allowing those can do many good things, because the ones that are converted are the ones that are failures and they aren't getting the tourists and doing other things that are often not legal, and i think it would be a good method to do it. >> maybe it wasn't clear, but
