I shook Nancy Pelosi's hand
Nancy Pelosi signs books
Originally uploaded by zephrene. Once again, Mom and I attended the Progressive Forum- this time it was a conversation format between the organization's president and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
She was pretty good, on-message most of the time, and told interesting anecdotes. Sometimes the rhetoric got a bit too flavored with righteous American Imperialism, but on the whole it was interesting and enjoyable to hear her speak. Even if I disagree with the political rhetoric, Madam Speaker Pelosi is a very accomplished woman who made history, and does have a powerful message for women.
We all got free copies of her book from the Progressive Forum, and after the talk she signed them. That's when I got to shake her hand, and so did Mom. It's funny, I'm this huge SFF geek con-goer but I have more books signed by politicians than by fiction authors.
