House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) answered questions from Tom Brokaw on “Meet the Press” this morning about yesterday’s Wall Street Journal article reporting that she and her husband have invested in former Swift boat ad financier and more recent alternative energy convert T. Boone Pickens’ Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
“It was between $50,000 and $100,000, and it’s part of an entrepreneurial package, a package we signed up for,” Pelosi said adding that it’s something she believes in.
When Brokaw pressed on her ability as a lawmaker to influence the prospects of Pickens’ endeavor, Pelosi said, “That is the marketplace.”
Sen. Pelosi, like other Democrats that come to mind-John Edwards and Eliot Spitzer, can't seem to separate their role of Enforcing and Creating the Law, with using their Position too their advantage.
The real question is, will the Voters hold them accountable?
