Pelosi Daughter Making McCain Film
 Aug. 25, 2008: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. |
Almost more than the convention of Barack Obama, the 2008 DNC is like a party given for and by Nancy Pelosi.
The House Majority Leader is a ubiquitous dynamo, an Energizer bunny pushing the Democratic platform, explaining and extolling the Obamas, making everything seem right in the world to anyone who might be worried or have questions.
Tuesday night, my cab driver told me he’d just received a call to pick her up from a private dinner party! The woman does not sleep!
So it’s not too surprising that she’s getting help at home. Pelosi’s daughter Alexandra, the respected filmmaker of “Journeys with George” is, I am told, preparing a documentary about candidate John McCain.
Fair and balanced? I should think not. Coming out before the election on Nov. 4? I should think so. Is it OK? Why not? All’s fair in politics these days. Right now, the McCain campaign is using unauthorized clips of Hillary Clinton criticizing Barack Obama in their commercials. And so it goes. It’s not the first time the younger Pelosi has put her film skills to use during an election year. Her “Diary of a Political Tourist” aired on HBO right before the November 2004 vote. No word yet on whether HBO will be airing the McCain movie. Subscribe=>
