Journeys With Nancy?

We hear there was grumbling
among House Democrats yesterday
when documentary filmmaker
Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.),
tried to bring her digital camera into
the members-only caucus at which
her mother was elected Minority
Leader.
The writer-director of "Journeys with George," the
HBO documentary about
George W. Bush's presidential campaign, has been
following her mom
around Capitol Hill this week and recording events
for posterity. Yesterday
Nancy Pelosi's opponents, Tennessee's Harold Ford Jr.
and Ohio's Marcy
Kaptur, agreed to let her daughter attend the
closed-door meeting in the
Cannon Caucus Room, but the younger Pelosi was told
to leave the camera
outside.
Instead she gave it to avocational photographer Sam
Farr, a member from
California and staunch Pelosi partisan who videotaped
portions of the secret
proceedings. "She didn't slip the camera to me; I
demanded that she give it to
me because I like to record history," Farr told us.
"My style as a
photographer is photojournalism -- so my focus was
people .... I think
Alexandra and I will have to decide what we do with
the video, depending."
