squandering my potential


Pelosi One

"Do as I say, not as I do."

So Nancy Pelosi, or as I affectionately call her - The Self-Appointed Most Powerful Woman on Earth - wants an airplane. Not just any plane mind you, but one that can ferry her entourage from San Francisco to Washington D.C. non-stop. I mean, who in their right mind would want to stop in, god forbid, Topeka, Kansas to re-fuel?

Am I the only one who thinks this is a ridiculously stupid issue for Republicans to haggle over? I mean, if you really wanted to nail Pelosi (ew, gross) for her unabashed hypocrisy, there's lots of fodder for Republicans elsewhere.

For example:

As you probably know, Pelosi has supported requiring a minimum wage increase, except for large companies like Del Monte Foods Co. which are based in her home district.

Pelosi has received the Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farmworkers Union, in support of her "pro-union" policies, despite the fact that the $25 million Northern California vineyard she and her husband own is a non-union shop.

The Pelosis own a large stake in an exclusive hotel in Rutherford, California, which has more than 250 employees. The Pelosis are also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees.

NONE of these businesses are unionized.

Can anyone honestly say they're surprised that Pelosi, champion of global warming curtailment, now wants a jet-fuel guzzling, CO(2) spewing, government subsidized airliner to jet-set around the country.

I mean, this is the same Pelosi who's being chauffeured, in a SUV, to a Global Warming event.

The lady clearly has no shame.
