Her message to the pages sounds a little "overly friendly" to me. ;-)
Actually, a very good point. Let us explore that other possibility. What if the book idea, (note - I was not quoting the phrase Book Project verbatim), was utilized as a hook to get information from the pages. Kinda like, wow we want to do a book on you pages. It could make a lot of money. We just need some juicy details to spike sales. Do you pages have any juicy details ? That would correlate well with the way she was 'dancing a jig' trying to explain why the book was not done yet. She was also saving the chapter with intern details for last. Because, according to her, it was the more difficult chapter to write and required a lot of work. Imagine that, the mother of a gay page working for Nancy Pelosi is writing a book and needs juicy details from pages. Should call this 'Nanny Gate' perhaps.
