Baby talk with Alexandra Pelosi
Bay Area native Alexandra Pelosi did a whirlwind trip from New York to Pasadena to meet with TV critics about her documentary on evangelical Christians, “Friends of God,” which debuts on Jan. 25 on HBO.
“Am I a bad mother?” Pelosi asks after she finished her session, clearly conflicted about leaving her 8-week old baby at home. “This is the first time I’ve ever left him.”
We don’t really think he’ll remember.
Pelosi’s the daughter of California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, who became the first woman Speaker of the House, and therefore second second in line to be President of the United States if anything happens to President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
It’s the closest any woman has ever come to the office of president of the United States.
Pelosi says the spotlight has clearly been on her mom, so she decided to do something nice for her dad and named her son Paul after him.
“He deserved a little recognition too,” Pelosi, who looks way too trim for a woman who recently gave birth, says.
In her session earlier, Pelosi told TV writers that it may be hard to believe, but when she gets together with her family they don’t end up talking politics or documentaries.
It’s all baby talk these days.
