Here's a C-span clip from 12/18/98
I'll give Pelosi credit nowadays for being able to keep a straight face.

Key paragraphs:
Pelosi:
“Today the Republican majority is not judging the president with fairness, but impeaching him with a vengeance,In the investigation of the president, fundamental principles which Americans hold dear - fairness, privacy, checks and balances - have been seriously violated.
And why? Because we are here today because the Republicans in the House are paralyzed with hatred of President Clinton. And until the Republicans free themselves of that hatred, our country will suffer.
I rise to oppose these unfair motions, which call for removal of the president of the United States from office."
I actually spilled a whiskey laughing.
