Surprise: Andrea Accuses Pelosi of 'Unseemly, Imperial' Celebrations

Change font size:  A |  A

Has that blizzard in the Plains blown all the way into Hades? On the day of Nancy Pelosi's congressional coronation, a rhetorical shot was taken at her from an unexpected quarter, that of Andrea Mitchell.

Interviewing veteran Dem congressman John Dingell of Michigan, Mitchell asked:

"Are you happy with this big celebration that Nancy Pelosi has planned for herself? Is it a bit unseemly to have Stevie Wonder and Tony Bennett and the dinners and the lunches and the brunches and the trip to Baltimore to rename the street in honor of her. Isn't this a little bit too imperial?"

Ouch.

Dingell professed that it wasn't. But much more interesting was Mitchell having taken the shot in the first place. Some might say that it was just Andrea looking out for the Dems' best interests, but even if well-intentioned advice, it was certainly offered in the most public of forums.
