Concert Cat
Reuters ^ | 05/21/08

Posted on 05/21/2008 9:01:16 AM PDT by Borges

A cat steals the show at an Israel Philharmonic Orchestra concert for visiting U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.

A full house audience broke into applause and laughter as a cat walked calmly through a concert hall in Tel Aviv to the amazement of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and amusement of the conductor Zubin Mehta and visiting U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

I think the applause was for the cat - not Nancy.

A cat is far more intelligent than Nancy Pelosi.

Cute video!

Again, the cat has more intelligence and appeal than Nancy could ever dream of. Her “Jewish grandchildren ... interesting comment ... by Nancy .... .

Nancy Pelosi is so fake. Maybe she’s Animatronic?

Typical that Nancy Pee-yooski would politicize such a simple and charming event with her "Jewish grandchildren" comment. Finger wagging and everything. What a maroon.

Pelosi seems to be on a self-initiated tour of the Middle East right behind President Bush - seeking to present herself as the most powerful woman in the US, the real power player behind the throne of American politics, to otherwise bash, trash or nullify anything Bush and his team promised or accomplished, and to exercise the democrat party alternate universe diplomacy, I suppose

The cat heard that Pelsoi was coming, and figured that it was his job to catch the 'RAT.

Pelosi should be afraid. Very afraid. The Viking Kitties know exactly where she is and what she’s saying.

Thanks so much for keeping me on the list!

It always amazes me when people complain about the attention humans pay to animals...and then you see that one little kitty brought hundreds and hundreds of humans together with one little walk!...especially since the cat's expression was just like a supermodel on the "catwalk"...LOL!!

You’re very welcome.

I thought the cat’s expression said “What are all these tacky people doing in MY house?”

Poor Kittah : ( Must have been really freaked out. I wonder where he went?

I hope someone took care of him and gave him treats after having to see that mug.

Why does she say “I can’t wait to tell my grandchildren....my Jewish grandchildren”? Makes it sound like she wouldn’t tell grandchildren who aren’t jewish, or that she’s pandering to the max.
Either way, she sounds like an idiot and a phoney.

Is she bragging that her children are not obeying Church precepts on marriage?

Or are they Jewish Catholics?

I keep trying to find the thread about 6 years ago when FR Viking Kittehs established the Valhalla Zot. It was hysterical.

I always fall asleep before I can find any really old thread.
