Being from the area where Nancy grew up and knowing the family (and unfortunately Nancy) pretty well I can say that she is not crazy. She is, however, a part of the political machine in Maryland that, like the Kennedy family in Mass, has a stranglehold for years and maintains close ties. Nancy is the daughter of Tommy D'Alesandro, Jr. (Former Congressman) and brother of Tommy the 3rd. Both Tommy's were former mayors of Baltimore and powerful within the MD Democratic party. When Nancy lost the speaker's position Steny Hoyer (D-MD) was in line to become the Minotrity Leader. However, there was some sort of a deal cut to keep Nancy as Leader and put Steny as the Whip.
Crazy? No. Sly like a fox and out of touch? Yes.
