Almost hard to believe this happened but coming from the father of Eddie Jeffers, I would have to say that indeed, sometimes, the pen IS mightier then the sword:
On this Saturday evening, December 29, 2007, my cell phone rings at about 5:50 pm CST and I hear:
“Is this David Jeffers?”
“Yes it is.”
“This is Nancy Pelosi and I just wanted to call you and let you know
that I got your packet from Congressman Jeff Miller and that I read all
of your son Eddie’s articles. I want to first say how sorry I am for
your loss and I imagine this must have been a tough Christmas for your
family.”That’s how my conversation with the Speaker of the House began.
David notes that the packet sent to her included the fact:
that Senator Reid, John Murtha, and she were becoming the enemy that Eddie wrote of in “Hope Rides Alone.”
But she still called anyways. She didn’t argue with him nor try to change his mind.
While I still have little to no respect for this woman, what she did deserves praise.
