Pelosi: Sequestration Preventing Me from Visiting Troops on Mother's Day Daniel Halper May 9, 2013 2:26 PM

Nancy Pelosi indicated she would be visiting troops this weekend but for sequestration:

"Every year for the past few years, on Mother's Day, I've gone--I've taken a delegation--into Afghanistan or Iraq, we're alternating now, now Afghanistan--for Mother's Day to say thank you to our moms and, by the way, our grandmothers, who are serving there. Some young grandmothers. But, nonetheless, grandmothers. To also thank all of our troops for what they do to protect America's families. I won't be going this particular weekend because we don't have--you know, under sequestration, we don't have codels."

You mean to tell me we’ve been paying for her to torment our troops all these years?

Sounds like she is trying to promote herself.

"Look at me I want to visit the troops because I'm so wonderful!...but I can't because the evil Republicans are making me too poor to travel!"

That is what I keep telling myself about the entire bunch of crap up there. Eternity is a whole lot longer than the time we spend on this planet. It’s going to be really hot where they have to spend it.

Good one and you’re right, don’t hold your breath, you’ll pass out. Both sides suck anymore. I have no idea what can be done to turn back time.

The only reason she’s not flying US Gov’t Air First Class is because the in-flight liquor supply has been sequestered.

Yeah, maybe she should have saved some of the money she spent on booze, food, and multiple trips back to Sodom to spend on actually doing her job... whatever that is. Since when do politicians need to visit troops anyway? How about bringing them home and making sure their votes are counted.

This, truly, cannot be forgotten.

“Nancy Pelosi indicated she would be visiting troops this weekend but for sequestration”

BS. That's just a cover story. Her broom is probably in the shop for maintenance and she is just to embarrassed to admit it. /s

You’ve got to be kidding me? She is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and she can’t afford to fly herself there to honor the troops?

Cost her couple of thousand dollars tops maybe ten.

She bilked taxpayers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars flying on the plane she demanded when she was House Maj leader, her bar bill alone cost thousands.
