Facts:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San Francisco.

Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home district.

Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi.

Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan workforce.

Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.

In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition's.

The Democratic bail out was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an "economic development credit in American Samoa".

Pelosi has called the Bush Administration "corrupt". She should know.

The Star-Kist matter was big news at the beginning of 2007, and the $33 million earmark was news last week. Here are some links:

Seems like Nancy Pelosi has a personal relationship with Charlie the Tuna while she wants to take Joe the Plumber's money thru the Democratic parties "SPREAD THE WEALTH" COMMUNIST weath redistribution program.

I've heard that Ditzy Nancy smells somewhat like Charlie the Tuna.

(Must be that Eau de Tuna she wears.)

Under Communism, only the nomenklatura are allowed to prosper. They are more equal.

I remember Josephine the Plumber, but I’m old.

Absolute Power corrupts absolutely.
And when the peson is corrupt before they even got the power then you end up with what you have in Pelosi....
