'Sir' Nancy Pelosi

The folks over at the Merit Systems Protection Board might want to take a little closer look at who's in charge up on Capitol Hill these days. The agency routinely sends its research reports to Congress and the White House, and the recent ones (here's one example) have come with cover letters addressed to the following people: the President, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

That's all well and good, but then the letters begin:

"Dear Sirs:"

I'm not sure how much House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., likes being addressed as "sir."
