Because mom was acting like a jerk. Welcome to politics, kid.
I believe she was at the Guyana airport with the group headed by Congressman Leo Ryan when he was shot and killed by Jim Jones troops from the Peoples Temple, just prior to the kool-aid massacre. She’s actually been under more fire than Hillary Clinton.
Great, another grandma in the house. No wonder we are becoming a nanny nation
Which one is Pelosi? These three all look alike. Clones?
Because she's an underwhelming, overtly-ignorant, bubble-headed git.
Specifically, because she repeated Obama's smear of McCain. Generally, because she's a commie traitor beehatch.
Winner of the Nancy Pelosi LOOK-ALIKE and ACT-ALIKE CONTEST!
One more stupid Rat broad from Kal-ee-for-nee-a.
Oh brother. A Pelosi clone. What’s in the water there that makes people act queer?
Republicans booing her will be the lead story on the network news tonight. She picked a fight and the MSM will coronate her for it.
Because, sweetie, your mom is an unpatriotic Marxist who hates the country of your birth and all its institutions.
Where is Dad?

Bio Jackie Speier was born in San Francisco and grew up on the Peninsula. Her father, Fred, a teamster, and her mother, Nancy, a seamstress, raised Jackie and her brother to be independent and hard working.
While attending public schools in South San Francisco, Jackie learned judo from legendary Cahill's Academy in San Bruno where she achieved the level of brown belt. She graduated from Mercy High School in Burlingame, and received her BA from UC Davis and her JD from UC Hastings College of the Law.
After becoming legal counsel to Congressman Leo J. Ryan, she accompanied him in November 1978, to Jonestown, Guyana to investigate the People's Temple. The Congressman was assassinated, and Jackie was shot five times and left for dead. As she has said many times, those 22 hours of waiting for help to arrive, alone on the tarmac, molded her philosophy, her zest for work and life, and proved to her that no one is guaranteed a tomorrow.
After returning home, Jackie became the youngest person ever elected to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors. After six years as a Supervisor, Jackie went on to serve 10 years in the California State Assembly. In 1998, she was elected to the State Senate, where she represented San Francisco and San Mateo County for eight years. During her tenure in the legislature Jackie achieved an impressive record with over 300 pieces of legislation signed into law by both Democratic and Republican Governors. She has authored groundbreaking legislation in privacy and consumer protection, child welfare, and healthcare. Many of her bills have become templates for other state and national legislation.
Jackie received "Legislator of the Year" honors from many groups, including the League of California Cities and the California School Board Association. The American Medical Association has given Jackie their national award for outstanding government service. Vote the Coast recognized her with their Coastal Steward Award. Other accolades have come from groups as diverse as the Professional Association for Childhood Education, the California Certified Organic Farmers, the California National Organization for Women, the San Mateo Business and Development Group, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Mobilization Against AIDS and Planned Parenthood of California.
Jackie's first husband, Steve Sierra, was killed in a car accident, leaving her a single mother for eight years. Jackie is now married to Barry Dennis. She has two children, Jackson Sierra, a sophomore in college, and Stephanie Sierra, an eighth grader. She is currently of counsel at the law firm of Hanson Bridgett LLP, in San Francisco
We’re in for a show. This gal’s the ultimate tragedy queen. She’s basically built her political career on the pain in her life-and to be fair, she has been through a lot, starting with the Ryan incident and including a car crash which killed, I believe, her then husband and a daughter and put her in the hospital. Still, we ought to have a pool about when she starts the waterworks. When she was in the California assembly, I don’t remember a video clip where she didn’t break out in tears at the end. Tom Lantos, you will be missed.
End the insanity. Repeal the 19th Amendment.
Well, young lady, it's because she's a naive, ignorant, America-hating socialist loon, who, given the chance, would destroy everything we hold dear.
“Why are they booing my mom?”
Don’t worry sweetie, you’ll get used to it.
Looks like they all use the same plastic surgeon.
