The former House speaker, saying she's liberated, discusses her love of the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and the healing power of music.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been on a valedictory tour. At the California Democratic Convention this weekend, honoring her is the main event.Going through a closet not long ago, Pelosi came across a “Deadheads for Dukakis” purse from the 1988 presidential campaign; she was a freshman lawmaker at the time.Nearly 20 years later, several of the band’s alumni played at a Washington gala celebrating Pelosi’s path-breaking election as speaker.
“You have to remember,” she says, “that for 20 years, either as speaker or [minority] leader, I was responsible for everything that happened on the floor ... in terms of what happened with the Democrats ... and I didn’t even realize that it was a burden until it was gone and I was like, ‘Oh, my God. What a relief.’ ”“I still, obviously, take an interest in the legislation,” Pelosi goes on, “and I still raise money for the Democrats,” though not the $1 million a day she pulled in as speaker.
Other diners crane to see the celebrity in their midst, seated in a booth slightly away from the main dining area. Orders are placed. Soon lunch arrives, an international smorgasbord of latkes, kale salad, a chicken quesadilla and matzo ball soup.
