Pelosi the Most Humble
**Written by Doug Powers The gavel is gone, but the conceit lives on… From Politico: The Democratic National Committee wanted to honor Nancy Pelosi Thursday — but its praise wasn’t good enough for the House minority leader.

It Was Good Ta Be Da Queen: Nancy Pelosi’s ‘Air Force Fun’ Update
**Written by Doug Powers Nancy Pelosi’s in-flight perks as Speaker almost make Barbra Streisand’s backstage demands look modest (I can’t believe Nancy never thought of rose petals in the toilet, but maybe she did). The bills for Pelosi’s air escapades have been piling up for quite a while, and some of the final expenses from [...]
Guess Who Pelosi Blames for Making Her Move Out of the Speaker’s Office?
**Written by Doug Powers It’s a tired cliché at this point, but in the absence of lucidity sometimes that’s all one can manage cling to: “We still would have lost the election because we had 9.5% unemployment. Let’s take it where that came from. The policies of George W. Bush and the Republican support for [...]

From Fox Nation: At her final press conference as House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said, “Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go.” The numbers tell a [...]
Pelosi: Can You Spare $10 to Protect the Progress We’ve Made?
**Written by Doug Powers If you were on the receiving end of this letter, it must have been a little like getting a plea for reinforcements from Custer the day after Little Bighorn: Speaker Nancy Pelosi has an outgoing New Year’s Eve wish, asking House campaign supporters to give money to fight back against “shameful [...]
Coming Soon: ‘Democrats’ — A Steven Spielberg Production
**Written by Doug Powers Consistent with the claim that Democrat setbacks have been a problem with messaging rather than voters rejecting their policies, it’s being reported that Nancy Pelosi is turning to Hollywood for (more) help: Midway through Philip Rucker and Paul Kane’s story about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s transition to minority leader [...]

GOP Leader John Boehner blasted the maneuver: House [...]
Climate Change in the House: Republicans to Axe Pelosi’s Global Warming Committee
**Written by Doug Powers Is it getting hot in here, or is Nancy Pelosi crazy?

In one [...]

Pelosi and the Treasure Island land grab

Stop the BigGovJobs bill; Update: Bill passes 247-161; Obama signs the bill
Scroll for updates… The Democrats call their $26 billion, Big Labor/bankrupt states’ bailout legislation the “EduJobs” bill. Let’s inject some truth in advertising.
