Nancy Pelosi lectures NYT on equal pay; 'Tweet this to the president' suggested

On Wednesday, the New Yorker reported that former New York Times editor Jill Abramson had been compensated less than her male predecessor.

Nancy Pelosi used the report to lecture the Times about equal pay:

Whatever the differences among @nytimes' leadership, there should be no difference in pay. #EqualPay

Pelosi was quickly reminded that if she’s intent on preaching about equal pay, she should start closer to home:

@NancyPelosi: Then why doesn't the White House pay women the same as men? @nytimes #EqualPay #tgdn #tcot

Good question. And others wondered the same thing:
