Hotline on Call: Double Duty: Crider To Pelosi (June 3, 2009)

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has named Jennifer Crider , until recently DCCC comm. dir., her political dir.

Crider will be responsible for political communications and strategy work on behalf of members and House candidates, according to a release.

FamousDC: DCCC: A Cut About the Competition (March 30,2009)

Nancy Pelosi’s allies joke about Cantor’s ambition, saying it’s exposed him to what the speaker often describes as a “hedge clipping” — Washington’s ritual lopping-off of any political head which peeps too high above the rank and file.

“Snip, snip,” said one Democrat staffer.  [a cut above]

So, who’s the Democratic staffer cleverly referencing the hedge clipping service?

From a few weeks back:

“In Washington, D.C., there is a free hedge-clipping service. Stick your head up for long enough, and someone will come along and give you a trim.” — Jennifer Crider
