GOP Congressman Comes to Pelosi's Rescue
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/pelosi_s_shoe

It was a Cinderella story, Capitol Hill style. Starring as Prince Charming, freshman Rep. Dave Reichert dropped to his knees Thursday in the midst of a news conference and handed over a beige leather slingback that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi lost during Wednesday's hasty evacuation of Congress.

"I'm proud to be here, and proud to present you with your shoe," said Reichert, R-Wash. "That is my shoe!" Pelosi, D-Calif., exclaimed to laughter.

Pelosi lost her shoes when Capitol police literally lifted her out of them during the evacuation, which was prompted by a small plane that strayed into restricted airspace over the nation's capital.

"I said, 'I'm losing my shoe,' and they said, 'That's too bad, just keep going,'" Pelosi said.

5. Cute Story. The neo-cons must not have their hooks in him yet
otherwise she'd either never have gotten it back, or it would have been sold on E-bay.

Anyway, he seems like a nice guy..
