long live the new speaker of house..
What don't the new rules address? Campaign donations! The presence of lobbyists and other contributors was indeed not limited at the host of fund-raisers this week, including this evening's event thrown by Pelosi. The NYT describes it as a "$1,000-a-head fund-raiser with performances by Tony Bennett, Carole King, Wyclef Jean and the surviving members of the Grateful Dead. 'Ms. Pelosi is a huge Dead fan,' her spokeswoman said."
