House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband's real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice of paying a spouse with political donations that she voted to ban last year.
Financial Leasing Services Inc. (FLS), owned by Paul F. Pelosi, has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history.
The payments have quadrupled since Mr. Pelosi took over as treasurer of his wife's committee in 2007, Federal Election Commission records show. FLS is on track to take in $48,000 in payments this year alone - eight times as much as it received annually from 2000 to 2005, when the committee was run by another treasurer.

Palin stole paper clips while on Wasilla city Counsel.
This will go in the same file Pelosi put under “R” for Rangel.
unless of course the dems want her out
I can’t keep track of what is leagl and what isn’t under the muddled campaign finance laws. Do any of you who have a better understanding know if this is legal?
March 11, 2008 - Pelosi Statement on House Passage of Major Ethics Reform - Reuters
‘Finally, Mr. Speaker, I pledge that the House Leadership will closely monitor the work of the new Office of Congressional Ethics and continually review all reasonable proposals intended to guarantee the highest ethical conduct and a more effective and transparent ethics process. If additional changes are required, we will propose them.’ This old skank needs to go!
It seems to me that when Republicans commit ethics violations, they resign. When Democrats do the same, they just keep on skipping down the road.
The msm will ignore this.
Oh dear Lord and isnt this the same funding that helped finance Edwards and his mistress etc. Boy have things gotten out of control with this crew in Washington. She needs to be replaced. And the MSM has been complicit on allowing them to get away with these abuses.
Doesn't mean the Republicans should! Where are the young flamethrowers like Newt and DeLay were when they first got into Congress?
sure. look for a brief mention in a page B16 story in the NY Times some time in February claiming Bush paid his daughters to mow the lawn 20 yaers ago.
that would make them 6 or so when they mowed the lawn?
ha
The fix is in and Biden has all the questions...
Most ethical Congress in history!
I’m sending this to drudge. I sent the bracelet story there and he picked it up (don’t know if it was my email that got him to put it up there - I’m sure dozens sent it in), so you never know. Anything to put the squeeze on Madame Facelift. You know what would be a GREAT Christmas present:
Barney Frank: jail (with Arpaio in charge)
Chris Dodd: jail (again, Arpaio
Nancy Pelosi: Selling perfume at Bloomies.
I would hope for this as a Thanksgiving or even a Halloween present, but hey, I’m a realist. XD
