Pelosi aides dispute daughter's claim By: Jake Sherman December 29, 2011 03:13 PM EST

Nancy Pelosi’s office says her daughter is wrong when she says the California Democrat wants to leave politics.

Alexandra Pelosi, the Democratic activist and filmmaker, said in an interview with Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government, that her mother is staying in Washington only for her donors.

“She would retire right now, if the donors she has didn’t want her to stay so badly,” Alexandra Pelosi told Big Government. “They know she wants to leave, though. They think she’s destined for the wilderness. She has very few days left. She’s 71, she wants to have a life, she’s done. It’s obligation, that’s all I’m saying.”

Nadeam Elshami, a spokesman for the House minority leader, said it’s simply not true.

“This may be wishful thinking on the part of a right-wing blog, but it is totally untrue,” Elshami said. “When the day comes and Leader Pelosi’s work is done, she won’t be announcing it there.”

Alexandra Pelosi didn’t deny uttering the remark but declined to expand in an email to POLITICO.

“I don’t speak for Nancy Pelosi — I was merely projecting my own personal opinions,” Alexandra Pelosi wrote in an email.

Who is going to indict her — the Pubbies?

Sheesh, they don’t even know how to get rid of Holder.

Based on ample historical precedents for how Stalinists act to purge their ranks of even the mildest of dissenting voices, I would expect that the Pelosi family photo albums are undergoing some serious revisionism right about now.

Even so, I doubt that they would be so bold as to pursue other common Stalinist remedies, but it might just be prudent for Alexandra to stay far, far away from windows and stairwells and elevator shafts in tall buildings.

The only question remaining is whether her likeness will be excised from the old photos by means of scissors, crudely blotted out by black magic marker, or more skillfully erased via Photoshop.

Pelosi’s aides call Pelosi’s daughter a liar. Nice.
