A number of other news sources had similar stories on this subject. So, all these news sources just made the story up? I really don't think so.
Here's another article, this time a UPI report. Apparently, pressure from the GOP caused a turnaround of events in this matter.

Ms. Pelosi got caught with her panties down.
It's "a way of life" for both sides - unless they get caught, which was my point. Again, so much for "the most ethical Congress". They'll only be ethical when they get caught and we make them be ethical.
The GOP can dig up just as much dirt on Democrats as Democrats can dig up on the GOP.
At least now ALL Americans will benefit from the new minimum wage law.

you present stories suggesting American Samoa was exempted from minimum wage laws at the behest of Pelosi - this is factually incorrect. American Samoa has always been exempt from minimum wage laws and is not mentioned in the proposed bill. nice try, but in the end, per your link, all Pelosi actually did was rectify a past imbalance in the law's coverage.
if that's all you can dig up, it's not much.
