Pelosi to Hold Weekly Press Conference Tomorrow, Celebrate Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day
…
Washington, D.C. To celebrate Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is inviting members of the Capitol Hill press corps and staff to bring their children to her regular weekly press conference tomorrow, Thursday, April 24. Following the regular Q&A, the Speaker will take a few questions from the children.
First of all, if reporters really do have children, would they actually admit it? And what’s the ruling on whether or not illegitimate children can participate? What if someone brings in their “children” in the form of 13 cats?
And let’s be honest, Nancy … will the children really be allowed to ask questions? What would you ask if your 8 years-old and talking with the Speaker of the House? Would your question have anything do with the fact that Mommy and Daddy no longer take you to Chuck E. Cheese because they’re always complaining that it costs $25 in gas to get there?
What’s next, Nancy… nap time and finger painting?
We can only hope this made for TV train wreck is televised.
Will this be a “green” presser and what’s the ruling on birds?
Dear Madam Speaker,
Will you save Big Bird?
I’m in! Us Mormons go big or go home…
I think this is a great idea - it’s exactly what I elected my representative to do.
If I was to show up to this dog and pony show and claim Wolf Blitzer as my father - although he would adamantly deny it - would they still let me ask my question?
If Rahm was Speaker, this event would involve curse words and Jack Daniels.
Pander Bear Alert!
I work at a morgue. imagine the looks i got last year.
Bring extra diapers - and watch as our country’s leaders poop their pants, once again.
How about we give Nancy the day off and let the kids answer the questions. Perhaps that might help things in DC.
TIVO is set to record. Off to buy popcorn.
The Hill said a reporter was kicked out of the Speaker’s Lobby for wearing flip-flops. This is what our press corp. has turned into. Kids! They’ll be right at home tomorrow.
Why would anyone want to subject their children to that?
This has to be a fake….
Leave it to a bunch of low class ass bags to knock the Speaker.
To: Obama Guy - if you’re going to accuse folks of being low class - don’t refer to them as ass bags, you ass bag.

[...] Nancy is either bored or loopy. Here’s what she’s planned: *** Media Advisory *** … Pelosi to Hold Weekly Press [...]
“What if someone brings in their “children” in the form of 13 cats?”
Just guessing, but I’ll go out on a limb and say the quality of the questions will be greatly improved.
This is a great move by the Speaker and we applaud her for doing this.
We’ll take our “New Direction” to middle-schools and playgrounds across the nation!
I’ve heard of trying to reach the youth vote, but this is ridiculous. Or genius [check back in 10 years]
Dear Pelosi Press Shop,
Crayola called. They want their ideas back.
Hugs,
Another Lost Voter
Are we taking bets here as to how many of our well-respected press corp actually follow instructions and bring a child to this circus? My guess is one. One poor kid amongst a gaggle of question-repeating, unoriginal - dead horse beating political writers.
They wanted earn media, they’ll get their earned media.
