THE WASHINGTON TIMES

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi helped secure $3 million last year for a nonprofit transportation-research organization whose president gave money to her political action committee as the group was paying for a European trip for one of her policy advisers. Transportation adviser Lara Levison's nine-day, $4,475 trip to Spain and Germany last April to learn about hydrogen-fuel cells for buses was primarily paid for by WestStart-CALSTART. But just days before the trip, WestStart-CALSTART announced that Mrs. Pelosi had helped the nonprofit group secure $1 million from the Federal Transit Administration for a bus rapid-transit program. A month after the Levison trip, the group sent out a press release thanking her for a $2 million grant for a fuel-cell program.

Can you say Nancy Botox is a hypocrite?

Just looked up the word in the dictionary -- her pic's right next to it! ;-)

No problem, she is a Democrat, can do anything what she wishes to do. If it were a Republican, all hell would break loose.

..."Republicans threaten and threaten and threaten, but aren't willing to use their name to stand up and make the case," she said.

'Nuff said...

"Can you say Nancy Botox is a hypocrite?"

Who knew ..???

[bgsugar]

I just can't wait to see the Washington Post, NY Times, Houston Chronicle, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and all the other "RATHER biaised" media reports on dear Ms. Pelosi's apparent "conflict of interest" and "pandering" to lobbyists who "may" have inappropriately funded a trip in which her staffers "may" have promised favors in return for "radical left-wing" support.

I think you're going to have a looooooong wait.

And .. even if they do mention it - you can bet the media will sugar coat it and could even be so brazen as to say that what Pelosi did was not as AWFUL as what DeLay did.

It's the same old - "everybody does it" comment.
