DEL.ICIO.USIn Washington: Paul Broun up close and personal with Nancy Pelosi
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Washington — Just got out of the mock swearing-in that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held with newly minted U.S. Rep. Paul Broun of Athens on Wednesday, Immediately after the real ceremony on the floor of the U.S. House
Pelosi told Broun that — 20 years earlier — she, too had come to Congress by winning a special election. “You just jump into things,” she said.
To Broun’s wife, Niki, Pelosi said: “My husband will look forward to meeting you at the spouse’s meeting.”
Mrs. Broun responded with a generous bear hug. We don’t know why. But then, we’ve never met Pelosi’s husband.
Broun, by the way, passed on his first opportunity to vote, seconds after his induction into the club. He said he didn’t know enough about what was going on — an example which may bear duplicating by others.
