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."

to say thank you to our moms and, by the way, our grandmothers, who are serving there So you don't say "thank you" to the men who are husbands, fathers and sons when you are there, you stupid, sexist b__tch? Thank God sequestration is keeping this witch away from our troops.

The best money never spent. I know it is redundant to say Liberals are dumb, but Pelosie lowers the bar.

Nice of her to raise the morale of the troops. Because her absence will do just that!

I am sure the troops are pretty happy about this.
At least they don’t have to “make nice” to the treacherous hag while their CO gets another picture for his “I Love Me” wall.

Thank goodness. If there is anything uglier than war it’s probably Pelosi...

Yes indeed, and it’s a morale booster for the troops.
That shameless witch should be in a padded room with a straitjacket on.

As a former “troop”, I think I can say that they don’t want to see Nancy Pelosi, except through a scope.
