Nancy Pelosi’s high-security shoe-shopping trip

Nancy Pelosi's Arrogance: Rules Are for Thee and Not for Me
“Suddenly blue/red lights are flashing from the windshield area of the SUV (like you would see in an official fire/police vehicle). I said to my friends, I've never seen that before on a ‘regular’ vehicle and I'd think that's illegal and dangerous. They agreed.(P. Gardner Goldsmith)
“The big black SUV then darts out across both lanes of traffic with lights flashing in both front and rear windows. It goes directly into the red zone/fire hydrant area in front of Padis and Footcandy.”
Did Nancy Pelosi’s chauffeur do some stunt driving for an emergency shoe shopping trip?
In keeping with Tuesday’s news theme — the double standard that benefits Democrat politicians to whom laws simply don’t apply — we thought we’d check in with Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who has caused a stir in St. Helena, Calif., after locals complained that she indulged in some emergency stunt driving in order to buy shoes....
[A] man named Paul Smith recounts witnessing a gleaming black SUV flip on red-and-blue flashing lights, zip across two lanes of traffic and come to a stop in a no-parking zone in front of upscale boutique Footcandy.
“This didn’t look like any official business to me,” Smith told the Chronicle.
The Star checked in with St. Helena Police Chief Bill Imboden, who didn’t deny the account but said that local police must defer to U.S. Capitol Police and the U.S. Secret Service, both of whom have the discretion to violate some state and local laws in order to provide the best possible protection to the dignitary in tow. Some of those upscale shoe boutiques are in dangerous neighborhoods, after all.
