If Democrats take over the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi will not just be the first female Speaker of the House.
She will be the richest.
By far.
The liberal Center for Responsive Politics pegs Pelosi's net worth as being somewhere between $14,746,108 and $55,085,000.
Gee, remember how libs got all over Gingrich for his $2 million book advance? Of course, no one said squat when Hillary took an $8 million book advance.
Pelosi and her husband have vast real estate holdings in San Francisco, where the liberals cry all the time for affordable housing for the working class.
That makes her the 9th richest member of the House.
Actually, I point all this out to show what a phony-baloney Pelosi is on the subject of "tax cuts for the rich." She is rich. To my knowledge, she never voluntarily paid a dime extra in federal income taxes.
UPDATE: Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid ranks 31st among senators with a net worth of $2,235,107 to $5,179,000.
Apparently Reid hung up the phone on an AP reporter when asked about, as AP put it, a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.
It is an intriguing little story involving Reids old protege, Clark County Commission chairman Dario Herrara. Better make that ex-chairman. He was convicted in May. He was sentenced to 50 months.
Speaking of crooks (Herrera, not Reid) William Jefferson, D-La., ranked 149th among House members with a net worth of $842,006 to $1,730,000. Dont know if that included his $90,000 in frozen assets.
Culture of corruption. Gotta remember that line.

" Spend a few funny and scary minutes listening to Dennis Miller rip Pelosi a new one..."
I wish that Dennis was on cable TV again.
