...“The unreported trip was a week-long 1999 visit to Taiwan, paid for by the Chinese National Association of Industry and Commerce, for "meetings with government, military and business officials," according to a filing Pelosi signed June 30. The flights cost $3,400 each for Pelosi and her husband. The hotel cost was $940. The sponsor, which has picked up trips for leaders of both parties, paid $300 for meals.
“Pelosi said she had provided "a good faith estimate" of the cost of the other two trips, since her "office records for that period do not indicate the costs." In 1998, NBC paid for a $200 trip to New York for a "Meet the Press" appearance, according to the filing. In 1999, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee paid $300 for transportation to Delray Beach, Fla., and $40 for meals for Pelosi to appear at a reception and briefing.”
Whoops.
Nancy's words will come back and bite her, and when they do, she'll spin, she'll point fingers, she may even cry. But seeing how this scandal may touch almost every United States Senator, Pelosi may be lamenting how lousy she'll look wearing orange...

Going by Novak's latest, she's been in the clouds for far too long and is now under one.

hairball... lol
Now THAT WAS FUNNY!
Obviously you haven't seen a picture of Nancy lately....NOT funny! ;)
Do you think any of the facts about Botox girl will get out, like the repubs.?
If any Republican would actually come out and remind everyone of the Clintons corruption or maybe Sandy Berger-anything. It's just exasperating as they have SO MUCH they can talk about to tell everyone how very corrupt the RATS are. They never say a word.
I noticed our tagline...
Did you hear what Bush did today in Chicago?
He visited the Chicago Stock Exchange...and someone from the exchange floor, shouted "hook em horns" when they saw him...and so he flashed his "hook em horns" sign with his hand..
and he said later in the speech..that he made a friend and inadvertantly bought shares in corn....LOL
Hey "Stretch" P., you're sagging... again.
Don't you know that Rats only want higher taxes on everyone else?? Ask drunk Uncle Ted how many estate taxes he paid!!
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Don't forget the freepathon....
These threads are not only informative...but, for those of us home on Friday night...extremely entertaining...
Let's make sure we have this forum for every Friday night.
You're kidding, right? More appropriately who isn't doing it. And for the record, I'm referring to both parties when I make my snotty comments.
As God is my witness, I don't see any end to this activity until we, the electorate, their bosses, rise up and demand accountability and integrity. IMO, they get to D.C. with all kinds of altruistic ideals, the oldtimers sit them down and tell them the facts, and then they all fall into line - whoring for money, just like everyone else who went before them.
I've been there. I've been inside some of the offices on K Street. I've been to the Palm, and I've seen how the rich and powerful play their games. And how the MSM sucks up to them so they'll come on their shows or do their interviews. And I know that once the legislators get a taste of it they never want to go home.
I think about the only person who hasn't bought into the fame game is Ron Paul. The rest of them are in various stages of whoring so that they can stay at the seat of power, sucking up the spotlight, strutting, and making their deals.
And the real irony of it all is the fact that they're all climbing the power ladder with our $$money$$ - Because WE ARE THE ONLY ENTITY IN AMERICA WHO PRODUCE ANYTHING OF VALUE. And the dirty little secret is that all they're trained to do is take it from us.
Yeah. I'm tired of it. I really don't much care who this current scandal takes out. Just once I'd like to see some kind of genuine TURN OVER in the halls of congress. Short of another flight 93, I figure the only way things will ever change is another house banking type scandal because they darned sure won't ever agree to pass term limits!
All I can add is AMEN!
Agreed. I am not sure it would be helpful to rehash the Clintons though, I think they should just speak the facts, Now DeLay has stepped down, will not seek his leadership roll. The repubs better start doing something though, or we will have a democrat congress again.
The media will make problems for the GOP and when they have to be honest. They will pull the story when it starts to turn on their RAT friends.
