Nancy Pelosi begs us not to ruin her dignity by cutting her paycheck
MSNBC ^ | 2/15/2013 | MSNBC

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is speaking out against a cut in congressional pay because she says it will undermine the dignity of their positions. "I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi said. "I think it's necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded."

If we cut their pay how will they be able to fly to the Dominican Republic and have sex with under-age girls? Will they have to text pictures of their willies to their girlfriends using Obamaphones? Oh, the humanity.

Pelosi, whose husband, Paul, is a legit real-estate mogul, was quick to add that slicing her own paycheck wouldn’t "mean as much" as those senators who struggle to make ends meet on $174,000 per year.

Wow....no wonder these assclowns don't know how do a budget...

If you "struggle" to make ends meet on $174,000 a year...you are simply retarded or brain dead...

Even after paying taxes you arre taking home at least $2,000 a week

Definitely should not be a congressman...

First of all; that’s an insult to all two dollar whores. At best she’s a two-bit whore. With a hundred dollars in quarters from Obama and Reid in her pocket. Second; there is NO dignity in Congress. I think Barney Frank sucked the last bit of dignity out of that bunch.

Analogous to "It's not the dress that makes you look fat." there is "It's not the pay cut that made you lose dignity.".
Besides, if I learned anything about this gov't, a "pay cut" is probably pol speak for "not the 30% pay raise" they expected.

You have not been paying attention. She’s never spoken in any language except some strange west coast dialect of Gibberish.

Are you kidding, you Botoxed hag? In case you haven’t heard, Congress has an approval rating of 8%, so what “dignity” are you worried about preserving? If my child was a Leftist Democrat serving as a stooge for The First Marxist, I would tell friends my child played piano in a whore house.

You shouldn’t be making a dime bitch. To serve is one thing, to rape the hell out of taxpayers is quite another.

Tell you what, Pelosi.

You can retire to Calif, live off your “Capital Gains” (and your Capitol Gains) and I’ll do your job for $74,000, leaving $100,000 to donate toward paying off the debt.

Any Bill delivered to the House less that two weeks before a vote on it will get a NO vote.

Any Bill over 20 pages in length will get a NO vote, except the Budget. That can be 100 pages.

Any Bill for funding EPA, EEOC, OSHA, Department of Education, HHS & HUD must be 20% less than last year’s budget in actual dollars.

All government agency pay scales MUST be matched to the military pay scales in dollar amounts and in percentages of employees at each pay grade. Military combat/hazardous duty pay not included in the comparison.

Seniority in Congress no longer applies. Committees are drawn by lot, Chairmanship rotates equally among members.

No public works projects may be named for a Congressman until that person has been dead at least 50 years.

(rant off utill I can catch my breath)

DIGNITY — find it in The Constitution, then we will talk!

Till then, dignity and demo(n)crat start with same letter - big deal.

respect the work we do

The real unemployment rate is what, 17%? We have the most pitiful recovery in history. 60% of the nation did not want and still does not want Obamny Care. We have over 16 trillion in debt.

We should respect the job they are doing? Really?

I was waiting for the semi-news/semi-satire disclaimer.

Puhlease Nancy— if you’re worried about the dignity of the office try to be a little respectful of the american people.
