Pelosi’s daughter: mom wants to retire

Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, says that her mother wants to leave Congress–and that she remains in Washington only at the behest of her campaign donors. “She would retire right now, if the donors she has didn’t want her to stay so badly. They know she wants to leave, though…. It’s obligation, that’s all I’m saying.” We understand… as Tricky Barack said, “Sooner or later you’ve made enough money.” (And we’re sure Alexandra meant to say Nancy’s staying for the children.)

    • She is so thoroughly owned by her "donors" that they won't let her quit, IMO. Like Al Pacino in Godfather III, every time she tries to get out, she gets pulled back in. Check out her father's reign as the mayor of Baltimore years ago. Corruption is a family tradition.

  • The message is clear. All those bribers, er ah donors, haven't received enough "value" for the "donations" they have given her. It is just a big money laundering scheme....but it is our money they are laundering. Throw em all in jail after a good application of tar and feathers.
