Pelosi Plans Lavish Four-Day Party

Nancy Pelosi is marking her ascension to the Speaker of the House post with a four-day celebration befitting a presidential inauguration.

"This is a big deal,” the California Democrat’s spokesman Brendan Daly declared. "We’ve never had a woman Speaker before.”

The day after New Year’s Day, Pelosi will visit Baltimore’s Little Italy neighborhood, where she grew up as the daughter and sister of Baltimore mayors. She will visit St. Leo the Great Catholic Church and then eat dinner with her extended family at an Italian restaurant, the Washington Post reports.

The next day, Pelosi will attend morning Mass at Trinity University in Washington, her alma mater, and attend a tea in the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium for about 400 female politicians, supporters and activists. That evening, she will be feted at a dinner at the Italian Embassy, where Tony Bennett will sing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco.”

On day three of her celebration, Pelosi will participate in a service at St. Peter’s Catholic Church on Capitol Hill, then eat brunch with supporters at the Cannon House Office Building and the Library of Congress.

At noon, the House will convene to elect Pelosi Speaker. That night, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will hold a fund-raiser where 1,200 partygoers will pay $1,000 each to enjoy a performance by Jimmy Buffett, Carole King and others.

Finally, on January 5, Pelosi will host an "open house” – by invitation only – at the Cannon Office Building.

The festivities are "more than just a party,” according to the Post. "Pelosi is grabbing the moment to present herself as the new face of the Democratic Party and to restore the party’s image as one hospitable to ethnic minorities, families, religion, the working class and women.”

But Republican political consultant Mike Murphy, a former adviser to Mitt Romney and John McCain, said the four-day celebration is "excessive.”

He told the Post: "What? No fireworks? I’m glad they canceled the tickertape parade. They probably couldn’t find biodegradable tickertape and a hybrid convertible.”

Nothing like being narcissistic!

yes, vigorously advocate, homosexuality, abortion, over indulgence and laziness.

But wait, let me sum it up this way:

Proverbs 6:16-19

[16] These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

[17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

[18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

[19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

yes, DO run off to "Mass".

Impress other little demons like yourself!

In the meantime, as you are over the top in extravagance, don't forget you lie about representing the "poor" and "down trodden" who can't speak for themselves.

That four day celebration could help out allot of those
"impoversihed" that you claim to care about ... LOL!!!

Thank goodness I will NOT spend eternity with YOU, Pelosi.

Anyone coming to this liberal love fest? Wouldn't it be hilarious if no one came or very few people?

I don't remember Newt being such an egomaniac when he became Speaker--he was too busy working trying to get a job done to party-hardy like these folks.

Barf!

Sounds like good Freeping opportunities, dressed as suicide bombers celebrating the Dem takeover of Congress.

Speaking as a Catholic, these Catholic churches that play along with this pro-death whore ought to be ashamed.

It's not a party, it's a coronation! Who does she think she is, Nancy Napoleon Pelosi? Pope Pelosi? Queen Nancy the First?

Bet there will be a huge san francisco style parade and who knows what kind of entertainment.

Ahh to have a camera and point it towards the participants where the MSM is scared to look.

Even FNC seems to follow the press corps and plays nice to ensure "access"

It is for the foreign press.

This is akin to a New PRIME MINISTER being elected. Pelosi wants to ACT like its an inaguration in order to appear as if she is the legislative prime minister.

It certainly makes Harry Reid look like Nancy Pelosi's bitch.
