Excerpt -

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and two other prominent Democrats have failed to disclose they are officers of family charities, in violation of a law requiring members of Congress to report non-profit leadership roles, USA Today reported in its Monday editions.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the fourth-ranking House Democrat, and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana also did not report they serve as family foundation directors, according to financial disclosure reports examined by USA TODAY.

All three foundations are funded and controlled by the lawmakers and their spouses, and do not solicit donations from outside sources.

Pelosi looks like she belongs in a padded cell somewhere and sounds like it too.

Ahhh, others are noticing that it is not just getting rubbed the wrong way by NancyPants but that she really is one sick-o psychopath.

Ha ha, Nancy "Tuna Queen" Pelosi is going to run "the most ethical Congress in history" but cannot even bother to report as legally required her role in the family slush fund....

"Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said Friday the speaker will amend her reports. He said it "was an oversight" that she had not listed her position dating back to 1992."

It would be most interesting if some enterprising reporter could run down the "causes" supported by the family slush fund over the years.... I'm willing to bet good money that the money goes to political activism masquerading as charity, most likely with family members and/or friends on the payroll!!

I will hold my breath for that to happen.
Dems have a free pass when it comes to felonies.
She will say that she was unaware that she had to make this disclosure.

It seems that it would be easy to place your own money in these, simply to make a large portion of you income non-taxable. Then... you could simply use that money to by things you desire.

What a sham!

The phone calls from Somoa and her fish company are likely burning up the lines.

Nancy has caused her friends to pay out tons of extra money.

This is the same woman that accepted the César E. Chávez Award (United Farms Union) but refuses to allow the grape pickers on her orchards to join a union. That has to be hypocrisy at it's worse.

Nancy Pelosi and her husband also own a chain of restaurants and a hotel in Napa Valley, California.

Despite her public commitment to the Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees Union, you better not join that union and work for the Pelosi's, because you will end up getting fired.
