Even setting aside how — ahem — rich it is to hear Nancy Pelosi issue decrees on how much wealth is enough wealth — her own net worth jumped 62 percent to over $35 million last year — does she actually expect us to believe her contributions to society rival those of the entrepreneurs and creators who fund her federal messiah trip? I mean, seriously, you want to talk about a pathetic quest for “immortality,” there could hardly be a better example than the San Francisco Scold’s short reign as Speaker.

Only $35 million?

Delusion...al is the precisely correct term for this woman.

Meanwhile, her San Fran buddies all get Obamacare waivers. Not for nothing, does her husband employ any tax consultants? Tax shelters? Off-shore companies? Somebody should look into that.

A remarkably ignorant talk from a remarkable empty-suit politician. For the first time, I came away thinking that she really believes what she is saying. (People making minimum wage need to get home equity loans to pay their bills - Yeah, right) No way could she have accumulated a net worth of $35 million on her own. Someone, probably her husband (perhaps with a major assist by the taxpayers) did it for her.

She's retarded!! Did she win the California State Lotto? Because that's they only way she got that rich!!
Paul McGrath| 8.31.11 @ 11:58AM
Illiterate, illogical, inarticulate, incompetent, inane. Unbelievable that this person achieved such a position of power. Unbelievable.

It's astonishing to watch the various manifestations of mental and political illness that is pandemic among Democrats. Simply amazing.
Someone should do a Best Of... medley, starting with the BlackCaucus member who inquired of what the military's concern might be in physically tipping over Guam or whatever island that concentrated so many people on one end.

I just wish that someone would effectively her a jock-strap type botox injection that would permanently shut her ignorant mouth up. To adapt/reconfigure that old song of ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH, I hereby make that request!!!!

All this from a woman who employs non-union labor in her upscale chain of Piatti restaurants, her Napa Valley vineyard, and Posh hotel in the Napa Valley. And that part where she describes those wealthy republicans buying art and this too from a woman whose home(s) are dripping with original art. I don't know who is more reprehensible in this video, those rich donors who can be heard laughing and agreeing with her delusional tirade or this drugged up fleabag once again spewing class hatred. It is not just what she says but how she says it. I thought she was going to fall over with that arm of hers flaying about. I would like to know who made this video. Did a conservative infiltrate her private circle of donors? It is hard to believe that her staff would allow this video to be released as it only confirms what many have suspected for some time now, that this woman is very ill.

Buffett's company hasn't paid back taxes owed...99.999% of Liberals are also assholes, it seems. (I will reserve comment on the few nice ones I know)

I think Nancy does believe her own rhetoric. And no way could she ever be aware that the real reason she wants other peoples' money is to sit in judgment of its spending and create a whole plantation of people who are thus beholden to her and will vote for her.
