Demagogue

Reading about an afternoon tea to celebrate Nancy Pelosi's rise to the House Speaker's chair is something that I would normally view as one great, big yawn -- even when it appears on Huffington Post. But buried deep within this item was some info that was interesting.

On the back-end of what was apparently a bland interview with Pelosi's husband, Huffington Post reported:

As proud as he is of his wife, (Paul) Pelosi was equally anxious to talk about his filmmaker daughter Alexandra, whose new documentary, Friends of God, premieres on HBO later this month.

A first-person look at the evangelical movement, the film includes Alexandra Pelosi's encounters with Pastor Ted Haggard, filmed before his fall from grace. It includes an amazing exchange where Haggard says, "We say moral purity is better than immorality. We say telling the truth is better than telling a lie... You know all the surveys say that evangelicals have the best sex life of any other group."

And with that, Alexandra's film has gone from interesting to Must See TV.
