(Community Matters) Quick jaunt over to Melanie & Ben Barnes’ for the Speaker Pelosi reception. She’s every bit as dynamic and even more outgoing than I thought.
Couldn’t stay for the entire fundraiser since I had to finish up tonight’s dessert before an early dinner. Impressive crowd; I’m betting very successful fundraiser for DCCC. Many thanks to the Barnes’, Wyeth Wiedeman and our other hosts.
There were protesters. I support folks’ right to disagree and protest, though I don’t think their signs calling for the Speaker’s abortion nor her arrest for war crimes are especially helpful to their cause.
And, as the highest ranking ever female national leader, I think she deserves even more respect. She’s certainly supported by the district that elects her and millions of other Americans.
