In the two previous blog installments “Part 1: Quid Pro Quo” and “Part 2: Get Out Jail Free Cards” the real-life scandal of government union boss Ron Saathoff is documented. “Part 1” exposes Saathoff’s abuse of his position and taxpayers to reap a special taxpayer-funded retirement increase...

Let's hope they have another thing in common… Sitting Speakers who fail to win re-election.
What's with the icky pictures while I am trying to eat? LOL
After all that has happened this past week, I am trying to figure out how this "woman" and her ilk live with themselves after lying, cheating, and stealing to and from the American people whom they are supposed to serve.
Did everyone hear our dear leader yesterday, mocking and deriding everyone who had the gall to oppose his 1$Trillion Dollar$ completely partisan healthcare entitlement package. I thought maybe he was giving a speech at an elementary school again. Nope…..turns out the only one acting like a 3rd grader was president liar. Is it just me, or does he seem to take some sick pleasure in ridiculing and belittling his counterparts after he's gotten his way again? Ha HA, I won. I mean after all it is "a BIG fukn deal" and everything, right joe biden? Whatever happened to being a gracious winner? Obammy wants to spike the ball in your face, do a little victory dance, smoking a cigar and whoop-whooping while hes checking out your girlfriends ass. He said as he signed the bill into law, he looked over his shoulder to make sure no meteors were streaking towards him because the obamacare opposition said it would be Armageddon!! He may still want to check over his other shoulder though…….rapidly approaching is the Nov 2 elections, and I think they're going to smack him right in the face like a meteor streaking from the heavens.
This Botox gargoyle is the most despicable excuse for a woman I have ever seen! She acts like she has never been denied anything, she has ever coveted, in her life! Watching her walk with her horde of body guards, with that huge gavel in her hands was the most threatening act, I have ever witnessed from a Speaker of the House! She needs to have her political career put to an end NOW!!!
TRULY A SAD DAY FOR AMERICA! Hopefully she will be spending her next birthday at her home as a DEFEATED congresswoman and FORMER speaker of the house!
Back then, abortion wasn't a legal option, nor was it paid for by the U.S. taxpayers.
ps. Happy Birthday Nancy……………now please retire.
Go out on top baby………..then you'll always know what it feels like to look down your nose at all us peons.
I've had it with this bold ,no faced, insolent, unprincipled San Francisco Terradactyl. Send her into the Cornfield already.

Suckage.
Whatever.
This woman is a fool.

boy,that is really you begin to wonder what is true or not……speaking of witch dem. send Obama berry final health measure bill…There saying is is the last fight on health care….And he signed it on his desk. He wants to take over the people. So, when it is signed and done…..What November election and going to do? And it is already in law and Berry Obama is going what he is doing? The damage is done.He knows this.Drudge report…And a Congressman who said Obama wants control over the people,but the media won't cover this. Van Jones did say give them the wealth, Who was he talking about and were being taxed like there's no tomorrow. They want all american be issued cards when this kicks in, pretty scarey if you ask me…..
See my post for Republicans:
11th hour strategies for Republicans at
On my watch…the writings of SamHenry

The woman is as if not smarter than Obama. She gets things done. He likes to sit and think. He has learned from her. No more dithering.
Happy Birthday, you rapist! I think for your birthday, you need to be in jail.
Isn't it a shame the way the PRESIDENT presents himself to the world. He is like a little child and it is embarrassing having him on TV so much acting this way. His parents "Pelosi and Reid" allow this behavior. This is what a disfunctinal family is all about.
Eww…the Pelosi with coffee. Lets hope she goes the same way as Foley, and send her back to SF as the Queen of parasites, to haunt the natives, they deserve one another.
Caddywhompass<
You basically wrote what I wanted to post.
I am no psychologist, but I can't imagine how these people live with THEMSELVES let alone the rest of us peon's that they trampled upon (wait, that part is easy, they feel we don't Matter…)
How much booze does it take these people to sleep at night.
The nonsense of Bush Derangement Syndrome confused me when "reality" was so evident.
But this is MUCH WORSE. Last night Oba-Mao was taunting the GOP to base the entire 2010 election on overturning ObamaCare. Bill Clinton was a tool and a perv, but at least he could understand polling data and scale back when the plebes were uprising. Oba-mao, Piglosi, and Reid can't be human…
I quit lying back in 3rd grade when I could not sleep cause I'd told a whopper to one classmate, and a conflicting whopper to another, and they caught me at it. Besides, I'm not smart enough to keep the lies straight, so I just tell the truth. I feel uneasy when I'm less than clear and forthright.
Now, I an NOT pure as the driven snow lest any think I am building myself up unduely. I am truly the biggest sinner I know. But these people seem so ethically challenged as to defy reason.
You can be Speaker of the House and still be a silly old lady. And BTW, Nan, the plastic surgery doesn't fool anybody but your mirror, mirror on the wall.
I fervently hope so…
But California is so F'd up that they KEEP relecting her and that stone cold crazy Boxer B!tch, and a large chunk of other whackos…
Yep! That's how I see her!!
She puts the "F" in Fugly
Happy Birthday Nancy, you are one day closer to burning in hell with your buddies Teddy and Jacko Murtha
Got a tweet last night to an Isreali news paper covering the Obama refusal to ship previously approved munitions. Over 300 Bunker buster type of bombs. Sent the material to Dego Garcia instead of the Isreali based storage the US already utilizes. I would link it directly cept I am at work.
It's all a big show for them. Barry and Nanc think they're being "cute" and "humorous" when in reality they are a disgrace to their offices.
Can you imagine a president who goes out and trash-talks the concerns of the people he represents?
If he's so entertaining (in his own mind) then why doesn't he "entertain" us with thoughts on how his far-left, radical political agenda was put to bed and how we have nothing to worry about?
And Pelosi… with her nastiness and in-your-face "march" with her toy gavel… she should be ASHAMED of herself. Instead, she gloats and inspires more hatred to be brought down upon her overly-botoxed head. As if we already didn't loathe the very air she breathes.
She is a bold-faced liar (CIA, astroturf, transparency, drained swamp, Rangle, et al.) and the biggest phony in the history of US politics.
Happy Birthday, Nancy! Enjoy your weekend in your warped little La-La Land where everything is seen through rose-colored money goggles.
Obamabots should be happy. They're not!
She is a criminal and I hope when the hammer falls our newly elected leaders prosecute her to the fullest extent of the law. But even when the evidence is overwhelming our spineless government will protect her. They cant be setting any precedents because at the end of the day they are all in bed together. Any normal american would
rot in jail but be it a government official they ALL get a pass in one way or another.
Could someone explain the difference between a democracy and a republic?

They view this whole thing as a game and are only emotionally involved when they are at a strategic disadvantage.
Does a Chess player get emotional about sacrificing a pawn? The pieces on the board mean nothing to them, it's winning the game that is important.
Nancy needs to GO. There should be a time limit on terms.
Rita, which rapists are you referring to? The so-called "Christians" in the Catholic Church?
chopper
It is not meteors than he should be concerned with it's the Whirlwind!
Check out an ultra-cool conservative podcast at: http://www.cashbeechcroft.podomatic.com
For humor and insight on ObamaCare from an up-and-coming conservative superstar!
They're sociopaths, they have no conscience whatsoever.
Nancy is 70? She doesn't look a day over 65!
As for the throw down Obummer presented yesterday, that was only in the best tradition of Chicago street basketball…trash talk.
Pelosi shares a birthday with my son and brother? Crap.
In simple terms:
Democracy more power with the Federal Gov
Republic more power with the States
We are a Republic and the Federal Gov has only the powers given to it by the states i.e. national defense
keepdad,
I thought she did not look a day over dead…
I figured all that botox and makeup was hiding the fact she is an undead ghoul…
Brea Tar Pits I believe!
nah I think Bertha Lewis has that one all sewn up….
I with you David, I quit lying a long time ago, I wasn't any good at it !!!
One lie led to another, and pretty soon my whole life was a lie !!!
And It was to hard to keep the lies straight so I always got caught!!!
I found that it was easier to not do anything in my life that I had to lie about !!!
My life became easier and less encumbered !!!
I think these people in congress have lived their whole lives lying and as you know practice makes perfect !!! Some people enjoy decieving others, it gives them a sense of power and control over other people!!! They have no compassion or feelings for their fellow man or woman!!
So, I believe also that they haver no sense of a higher power, so they carry no guilt !!!
They may use the words of God or the Bible, but they are liars, so that is part of their deception also!!!
Hope Netanyahu and Israel know that not all Americans are against them.
God save us from these arrogant people in power.
Wow I just wrote a whole reply to David M.
Now I can't find Davids post let alone my reply?????
Huh !!!!!
Is it my computer or this site?????????????
He is always in campaign mode. Doesn't he realize he is the PRESIDENT now. This what you get when you elect someone who is not qualified to represent OUR COUNTRY. Taking of his jacket, fist bumps, bad language being allowed, the arguing and his arogance is a disgrace…this is highest office of the land and he, in my eyes, doesn't respect it AT ALL.
Another birthday, Speaker Pelosi, another chance to quit your life as a bottom-feeder, to join the human race–that decision is yours. Our decision is to have you join the unemployment line.

When Nancy was born the doctor slapped her mother.
My comments disappear, too, sometimes, only to reappear later. Wait a little while and check again.
Is that the "giant sucking sound" that Ross Perot talked about hearing for all those years?
No, the terms are fine. There should be a time-limit for Pelosi–if we REALLY want her out, she'll be out. She's counting on our lethargy to let her be.
Poor Rod Lauren had the undubious distinction of having been born on the same exact date as the "queen".
But he was a "rocker" famous for his song………………"If I Had a Girl". I will bet you a dollar though, that he didn't write that song for Nancy. No matter how hard she tries to convince us.

Pelosi wasn't born. She was hatched—from an egg from a viper's nest.
Nancy, along with Teddy, Rahm, and others, is the best argument for abortion I can imagine.
"Today, in 1940, Nancy Pelosi was born. Also today, in 1929, Tom Foley, another Speaker of the House, was born. Hmm…that’s kind of weird." – Publius
Not really weird. In any group of 23 people chosen randomly, i.e., chosen without respect to their birthdays, there is a greater then 50% probability that at least two of them will share the same birthday. There have been 60 Speakers of the House. When the group numbers 57 or more, the probability is greater than 99%.
I didn't think she was that young, I would have thought 80 – 85 minimum. So much for botox.
California, like most states, has effed up districts. Their seats are safe because they represent the freako Bay Area (San Francisco), so lefties will ALWAYS do well there.
Now that CA has legalized pot across the board, not just medicinal, they can keep all the voters 'happy' and continue to control the dimwits – jeez, not like you need pot to accomplish that, just promise you will take care of them from cradle to grave and all the losers are happy!
Probably not Reader, all they see is more bennies from obamas stash – lol
Happy birthday, Na-na, I hope you get a bucket of water today for a present and melt.
The Infant President, with his fragile, childlike, eggshell mind.
In a democracy, the citizens vote on all proposed actions, with some portion required for approval, whether it be a majority, a super-majority, or universal consensus.
In a republic, the citizens elect various representatives in various proportions, and those representatives then vote on and enact all proposed actions, without requiring direct consultation of their constituents for each issue.
That is the essential difference, details may vary considerably.
. . . and thin skin.
Bill Whittle in an "Afterburner" episode explained it pretty clear.
We, the people, the voters, We are a republic.
Our 100 Senators, and 435 Representatives, deciding when, how, and what gets done where……are a Democracy. I think.
http://www.pjtv.com/v/2403;jsessionid=abc_pfti1ml...
For all the money she makes she ends up with a set of choppers made for a horse?
Some new teeth please. I wonder is Obama makes her take them out when…well, you know.
That day would have been a good day to alow an abortion to her mother. Doo to the future rape of America by that skankey broad, she's a discrace. she should go kill herself.
Happy birthday, just for you
Devil Woman
Cliff Richard
I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd came there for
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Stay away, look out!
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you…
I heard she was a by product of early genetic experiments that failed.
Their going to accuse of us hate speech again.
Happy Geburtstag, Nazi Pelosi, Speaker von Haus!
WoW!
That being duly noted, that makes Madame Pelosi 70 years old.
Yuk!
So what! My Political correctness has been on the fritz for quite some time now. I don't see any plans in the foreseeable future of me getting it fixed anyhow!
Was she really born or did she crawl out from under a rock?
The day that " will live in infamy".
Happy Birthday Nan, here is that new plane you'd asked Santa for, you've earned it. Love Barry
OnCommonGround,
Say it ain't so! Pot is legal to all in CA? Age 21 and up? Are they taxing the crap out of it?
Hollywood really will become the Amsterdam of America…
That state is so F'd up…
If it were up to me I'd sell it ot Mexico, Hollywood, Pelosi, Boxer, and all the other wingbats included.
I thought you guys said the attacks on Sarah Palin from the left were wrong? Thank you for proving that you don't really mean it. Lots of comments on Nancy's looks. Last I checked she was Speaker of the House not a damn swimsuit model. Therefore, her looks are irrelevant. You haters are angry because she IS successful. She got the votes she needed when you people were sure that she couldn't do it. I'll leave you with 2 words that you will certainly remember: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!!!!
Do you have pictures of a 70-year old woman that IS attractive? No, because there is no such thing!!
Sophia Loren http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Loren is 75, and has only started to get a bit leathery.
Johanna Sigurdardottir http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3hanna_Sigur%C... is "only" 67, but I doubt she will go downhill as fast as her country is over the next 3 three years. (Unfortunately she is into chicks.)
How many more samples do you need before you accept your ageist bigotry for what it is?
Air Pelosi:
http://www.judicialwatch.org/nancy-pelosi#airpelo...
Are you freaking kidding me? Neither one of those ladies are attractive. Sophia Loren was many years ago, but that picture of her was hdeous. There is no such thing as ageist bigotry. Quit trying to be a victim. It is ridiculous to be commenting on the looks of a 70-year old woman. There will never be a 70-year old supermodel or swimsuit model. Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. Her looks are irrelevant to her job!!
Sara Palin ran for VP, she never tried to destroy this country which Pelosi is clearly trying to do. And these comments don't even come close to what was said about Sara Palin, NOT EVEN CLOSE! These comments are from the citizens not the MSM where most of Palins comments came from. You make me sick!
You obviously have no taste in women.
Since I am 45, I am unlikely to be a victim of your ageist bigotry, so I cannot be trying to be a victim. I do however speak up for others you attempt to diminish so you can try and build up one shrieking harridan who is trying to tear down this country.
Sarah Palin did try to destroy this country by running for a job that she was clearly unprepared and unqualified for. I have never seen a politican so cluess as her. She made her own self look stupid in those interviews with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. She then tried to constantly blame others for her poor performance. She blamed: the media, McCain's staffers, and everyone but herself when she performed poorly and when she QUIT as governor. You conservatives hate affirmative action policies, but she is the classic example of a bad affirmative action decision. She gets promoted to a position for which she doesn't have the knowledge, skills, and abilities, and then blames everyone else when she fails.
Yea, the Book of Enoch mentions it a lot.
How does a 32-year old man have no taste in women because he doesn't find senior citizen women to be attractive. What planet do you live on? Maybe the same one where Anna Nicole really was attracted to that elderly billionaire. In other words, the planet of Delusion. I find many other good qualities in 70-year old women that I know. I don't look at them as sex objects.
My guess is Transylvania.
A planet where women can be attractive without being supermodels and without being younger than me.
But is okay, really. I hear they are working on new medical advances every day. Someday soon they will be able to cure your lack of taste of women. Keep hope alive!
What do ya say we all send her an extra special birthday gift:
http://www.themousefactory.com/orders/qe_orders_r...
Look out guys, they can count now!
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to burst your bubble of hope that some Ashton Kutcher wannabe is coming to sweep you off your feet!!
I do hope that you are not inferring that all Catholics are rapists.
Hell's Yeah!!! Gotta count those votes!!!
Sounds right to me!
ROFLMAO
Sorry dude, Mongo straight. I will leave Ashton Kutcher for you to moon over.
Would love to see and IQ test of Sara compared to Obama. No contest, unless he was allowed to use a teleprompter. She makes Obama look like a rube when it comes to qualifications! The man is a bumbling fool without his teleprompter.
Pack your bags and get out commie, you will not survive the Revolution if it comes to that. We will not let this great country die. VET.
Obama went to Columbia and Harvard Law. How would a moron graduate from Harvard Law? Palin doesn't even have a graduate degree. Nice try though. Also, he didn't look like an idiot in his interviews. She did!!
I'm a Marine you punk. I served for 8 years, so I'll think I'll stay thank you!! I'm not too worried about some middle-aged, pot-bellied, southern rednecks that can't accept that we have a black president. Start your little Revolution and we'll have another General Grant to put the smack down on your asses like he did the last confederacy!!
My bad. I thought you were a woman when you got offended that I didn't find elderly women attractive. I'm glad I could make you laugh. No need for hate and discontent!
