Spotted: Pelosi hits the Social Safeway

On a weekend when many lawmakers made their way back to their home districts to begin the Memorial Day recess, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stayed in the nation’s capital, where she was spotted grocery shopping on Monday morning.

Pelosi dashed into the new Safeway in Georgetown accompanied by her security detail, which stood out, according to an ITK tipster, because of their obvious “security-detail-on-the-weekend” duds.

Pelosi was all business in the checkout line at the store, nicknamed the “Social Safeway” on account of the good-looking young Georgetown residents who often mingle there.

No word on where she was headed, although the Speaker carried her own grocery bags out to the car.

This isn’t the first time the Social Safeway has made political news: Senate hopeful Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) received a barrage of criticism from his opponents last month when he was caught attending the gala opening of the newly refurbished branch.
