Pelosi parties with "villainous," "almost immoral" health care lobbyists
Having chucked out the Seven Deadly Sins about a century ago as hopelessly old-fashioned, Leftists were eventually forced to concoct new “sins.”
From what I can make out, the Left’s “deadliest sin” is something called “hypocrisy.” Like all Leftist “sins”, hypocrisy is one that (conveniently) only the Left’s enemies are capable of committing.
That’s why only the likes of Sean Hannity of FOX News seem to care about a small but telling item on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s engagement calendar.
Last night, Hannity reported that on September 24, Pelosi will be attending a $2,400 a plate fund-raiser next week hosted by Steve Elmendorf, a registered lobbyist with private health insurer, United Health.
As Hannity pointed out, this is the same Nancy Pelosi who called private health insurers “villains” and “almost immoral” just two months ago.
Not to mention the same Nancy Pelosi who has smeared citizens who’ve protested at health care town halls as “unAmerican.” Pelosi also claimed that some of these protesters were carrying “swastikas and symbols like that.” And that the protests in general were “Astroturf” – that is, these demonstrations being secretly funded by, er, registered lobbyists and private health insurers.
But remember: it’s only hypocrisy when “right wingers” are guilty of it!

I just don’t understand why this addled Women has the power she does. She looks like a gerbil with constipation. Talks like the towns gossip. Has less brains than a horse.
She must have a low cunning while running an ideological Blackberry as a conscience.
To get this job she must have been the most vicious of them all.
This Women is a nut with a 3 foot shell of moral imbecility.
A real entertaining article.

At only two heartbeats away from becoming the President, The American dream has turned into a Pelosi nightmare.
She has that power, because everyone in her district is just as mindless as she is. I’m betting that most are illegal immigrants that voted, because of lax voting laws, or they simply committed voter fraud.
Keep in mind that this is the woman who, when asked, “Do you know that you are the most hated politician in America?” said, “I don’t care, I have the power.”
Keithrage,
You had better hope that Obama and Joe “what the hell” Biden stay very healthy. Pelosi, is a very scarey, and incompetent buffoon dressed in designer clothing. In Frisco, she is called”ping-pong Pelosi” for a reason. And, just a little bit of “nurse” humor. When you get nurses together for more that a few seconds, we get, well, a bit much for the average person. But, what we all decided was that Ms. Pelosi needed a Triple-H enema (High, Hot, and a Hell of alot), to clean the crap out.
