Nancy Pelosi Edits DNC Praise of Nancy Pelosi Through Her Daughter

The Democratic National Committee decided it was time to honor former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. More proof the Democrats love less than mediocrity, while the Republicans seem to settle for mediocrity these days. The DNC wrote a proclamation of praise towards Pelosi, and a strange thing then happened.

Former Speaker Pelosi decided there wasn't enough praise in the proclamation, so she had it edited and added more praise through her daughter. Isn't that one of the problems in Washington--to many politicians who supposedly represent the people constantly praising themselves? It really is a sign of the times.

From the Politico:

When the DNC's Resolutions Committee brought up a resolution commemorating Pelosi's years as speaker of the House, Pelosi's daughter sought to alter the proposal at her mother's behest, adding some of the accomplishments that the elder Pelosi felt the committee had overlooked.

"I have some friendly amendments," said Christine Pelosi, a political strategist, at the committee's session during the DNC Winter Meeting at the Marriott Wardman Park hotel Thursday afternoon. She is a member of the committee.

"You think I'm kidding," Christine Pelosi added, to surprised laughter from the room. The proposed changes, she indicated, came out of a discussion with her mother.

First, Pelosi wanted to add a mention of her fight against HIV and AIDS, because it was "why she went to Congress." Then, she wanted to insert a paragraph on her "accomplishments for equality," mentioning the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 and the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" in December.

"Finally, since, as she said, 'I'm not going anywhere,' she wanted to add, in the final 'whereas' clause, '...and will continue the fight for America's working families,'" Christine Pelosi said.
