Pelosi’s dubious claim about ‘The Boss’

ITK’s preliminary review suggests otherwise. According to Springsteen’s touring schedule, “The Boss” played the Golden State three times this past year: April 1 in San Jose, and April 15 and 16 in Los Angeles.

{mosads}An April 1 press release from Pelosi’s office quoted her saying she looked forward to debating the budget in Washington that evening.

Two weeks later, she was photographed at numerous events in San Francisco on April 15 and 16, so it’s unlikely that she made the 800-mile round trip to Los Angeles to catch the show.

Pelosi is clearly a fan of rock bands. In September she was spotted at a U2 concert at FedEx Field, where she arranged for lead singer Bono to give her son-in-law, Michael Vos, a birthday shout-out from the stage.

A spokesman for Pelosi told ITK she misspoke; the Speaker meant to say she has never missed a show in the Bay Area.
