“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) turned down invitations to be on several Sunday morning talk shows and is instead spending the weekend with her family.

The Speaker was invited to appear on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” ABC’s “This Week,” “Fox News Sunday” and CNN’s “State of the Union,” according to sources at the networks.

One source said Pelosi (D-Calif.) will be attending her granddaughter’s first communion in Phoenix on Sunday.

Pelosi’s office confirmed she is with her family this weekend.

“We have turned down Sunday shows many, many times before,” Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami said.

Pelosi did appear on CNBC Thursday afternoon and that interview appeared on CNBC’s sister networks MSNBC and NBC multiple times.

The Sunday morning talk show circuit is a traditional place to find politicians trying to recover from political missteps or trying to explain themselves after a week at the top of the news cycle. It can also give them a chance to set the agenda for the week ahead. A Sunday show appearance, with its in-depth, one-on-one interview format, gives politicians a chance to answer many questions on a specific topic, often resulting in a controversy being put to bed.”

Daughter my eye. The only reason she won’t go on is because she won’t be able to control the conversation and undoubtedly she’d be asked to restate her belief that the CIA lied to the Congress. Since Leon Panetta has come out in defense of his agency “They told the truth”, it’s evident that Pelosi is losing support of the administration and Democrats in general.

Tick, Tick….how long until she steps down?
