Pelosi on trip to Italy on our dime!!!! - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Speaker Pelosi is on a trip to Italy with her husband and several Dems from the house. The cost of the Airforce jet is 200K alone. This after scolding the automaker execs for flying their own planes to Washington. Friggin Hypocrit. She makes me sick.

All while the Dow hits a 6 year low. The Stimulas Bill is a fraud and so is she.

Isn't "Do as I say, not as I do!" the Senate and Congressional mantra ?
It's just another case of "I got mine, so to hell with you and your's!"

Just another political hypocrite.

It's an official trip. Hell, even my company reimburses approved business expenses.

I suppose she could have flown TWA, but considering she's third in line to be President of the United States security could have been an issue.

I'll bet she even had real metal silverware instead of that plastic crap.

Leave it to you not to see the hypocracy in this.

Never mind the fact that we rushed the Stimulas Bill through so she could go and pick up her award.

I'm sure we will all be better off now that she had a little chat with the Pope.

They could write off a visit to the Bunny Ranch in Las Vegas as a fact finding research seminar for the Bill Clinton Brothel and Food Court!

I can see it now,

air traffic controller: TWA Flight 302 from NY to Rome - can you please turnaround b/c we had a tragedy and the Pres and VP are incapacitated and you know have the new Pres. of the US on board.

Pilot - ok

God help us if she becomes President. Don't even joke like that.

buckman · 02-20-2009, 04:45 PM

Oh, now I understand the expense.

Whoa, now that IS really scary.

Nancy Pelosie, Commander in Cheif.

So what's really the issue here? Is it the purpose of the trip or the method of travel?

There's nothing she's doing that's out of the ordinary.

Do you not think the House Republicans didn't do similar trips when they were in control?

"There's nothing she's doing that's out if the ordinary"

That makes me feel much better. It's not like the country's in a crisis or anything.

Are you going to justify everything wrong the Dems do with your

" well the Republicans did it too" logic. I guess I have no right to voice my complaints then.

Pretty pissed off Nebe. I have had enough of the B.S., the excuses, the lack of personel responsability, There was no need for Pelosi take a vacation in Italy on the tax payer dime. She does not give a rats ass about this country, she only cares about Nancy Pelosi.

spence · 02-21-2009, 09:09 AM

Is it the timing of the trip?

I mean, from what I understand February is a pretty rainy month in Italy.

buckman · 02-21-2009, 12:38 PM

Spence, to me everything is wrong about this trip, The timing, the expense, the purpose, the people going... If you are going to be a leader then lead by example. If this doesn't bother you then i don't know what would. I for one am tired of being treated like second class citizens. They work for us. Not the other way around.

Divine intervention drew her to Rome so Pope Benedict XVI could chastise her along with Kennedy, Kerry and other professed Catholics for their Non-Catholic stance.
I'm Done!

striperman36 · 02-21-2009, 03:25 PM

I dont think any senator or congressperson should go anywhere but their home state or the capital until we get out of this financial mess.

IMHO, it just shows arrogance to fly off with no reason, wtf is in Italy that is so important that she just drop out of the current situation?

I'd go to the Cayman's to check my unlisted account.

Normally, the jokes my father sends me are really lame...but I found this to be freaking funny...

Three dead bodies turn up at the mortuary, all with very big smiles on their faces. The coroner calls the police to tell them what has happened.

The Coroner tells the Inspector, "First body is a 72 year old Frenchman. He died of heart failure while with his mistress. Hence the enormous smile."

"The second body is an Irishman, 25 years of age. He won a thousand dollars on the lottery and spent it all on whisky. Died of alcohol poisoning, hence the smile. "

The Inspector asked, "What of the third body?" "Ah," says the coroner, "This is the most unusual one. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, 66, struck by lightning."

"Why is she smiling then?" inquires the Inspector. "She thought she was having her picture taken."

Pretty funny. How awful would I be if I liked the 4th line best

sokinwet · 02-22-2009, 10:21 AM

Although I've been a lifelong moderate/liberal I'm going to have to agree with my conservative friends (don't get used to it though!) on Ms. Pelosi....worst thing to ever happen to the democratic party...send her back to Calif. and hope for the big "quake".
