Political insiders have long been wondering how Rep. Nancy Pelosi would mark Barry Bonds breaking of Hank Aaron's home run record. Pelosi represents San Francisco, where Bonds plays baseball with the Giants, but recent allegations of Bonds' doping have brought into question Pelosi's support of the historic milestone.
But, today, Pelosi issue a statement on Bonds' achievement:
"Tonight, Barry Bonds etched his name into baseball's history books and took his rightful place among sport's immortals," Pelosi said. "It was a great night for baseball and a great night for San Francisco -- the crowd went wild. It was particular exciting to see Willie Mays embrace him on the field and see Hank Aaron congratulate him on the Jumbotron. As a season ticket holder, I am particularly glad it happened on the Giants' Italian night."
Pelosi strongly supported Bonds when he broke the single-season home run record in 2001, but was not at San Francisco's AT&T Park last night to witness the historic shot.
SCREW BARRY BONDS SCREW NANCY PELOSI TOO!!!!
Ditto.

I will pass on both.
Can I get an edit?
I mistyped the title it should be “Pelosi toasts Bonds and his ‘rightful place amongst sports immortals’”
Apropos of the party that likes illicit drugs and has no balls.
I think its hilarious (and revolting) when Nancy Pelosi says anything about an all American past time like baseball, as though she gives a crap about American traditions. You know Nancy Pelosi is lying when she’s waving the American flag.
I suppose I should reduce that generality to focus on the “SF Democrats” — the far left Democrats. My initial comment isn’t fair to the Joe Liebermans left in the party.
I thought you meant amongst 'athletic supporters'...
....lying, cheating scum sticks together...
One man’s steroids is another woman’s Botox.
‘Political insiders have long been wondering how Rep. Nancy Pelosi would mark Barry Bonds breaking of Hank Aaron’s home run record.

I never once questioned what she would do.
Lets see...she’s had a boob job, a nose job, regular bo tox injections, liposuction, chin lift(s), and only she knows what else.
How is anyone surprised she’s gushing about a guy using steriods and a ‘mechanical device’ on his elbow?
His rightful place among sports immortals is:
Not worthy of licking the crap of their shoes.
The sooner A-Rod breaks Bonds record, the sooner the HR record will have any sort of meaning again.
Would you settle for a carbon credit?
“The sooner A-Rod breaks Bonds record, the sooner the HR record will have any sort of meaning again.”
Amen. Go A-Rod!!!
Would love to see Nancy at a press conference to talk about this. What does she think about the steroid allegations? What does she think about cheating issues in sports? Does she think that any achievement needs to be rewarded, no matter how it was achieved?
You could easily extrapolate from this that she thinks winning by any means necessary is ok. Stealing elections for example, is ok with her, as long as Democrats win.
Exactly. Hank Aaron was a hero, but these guys today- all hyped up on drugs. Big deal. Anybody can get huge on hormones and hit balls 12 miles. That’s why it’s called basebore now. Boreball?
