House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) swung by “The Colbert Report” Monday night to promote Democrats’ new “Middle Class Jumpstart” initiative.

Colbert asked the House minority leader how she planned to push an agenda that includes a minimum wage increase, equal pay for women and education investments through a deadlocked Congress.

“Do you have naked photos of John Boehner doing something?” Colbert asked. “And if you do, is the tan uniform?”

Pelosi said that the Democrats plan to move their agenda forward after taking back the House in the midterm elections, which would also make Pelosi or some other Democrat the speaker of the House.

“Why would you ever want that job again?” Colbert asked. “John Boehner’s on the edge of a nervous breakdown all the time, he looks like he’s going to burst into tears.”

Pelosi said she’d be happy with just “some Democrat” taking up the gavel.

“I didn’t love being speaker, but I liked getting the job done for the American people,” she said.
