At the kick-off event for the 2008 American Magazine Conference in San Francisco, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi opened the proceedings by telling the 400 magazine executives in attendance that she's a "addict of magazines."
"San Francisco is a magazine city," the California resident added.
Pelosi couldn't resist taking a few shots at the current administration, especially when discussing the failed shield law:
"The shield law died in Senate because the administration didn't want the bill to go through. ... As soon as we have a new Congress and a new President, we will have a new shield law."
In her closing, Pelosi credited magazines with helping to keep America strong. "Thank you for the information," she said. "Thank you for the entertainment. Thanks you for the diversion. Thank you for the strengthening of our democracy you all provide."
After her initial remarks, the Speaker answered three questions from audience members, all about the bailout. We'll be posting a video of her answer shortly.

But Nancy, what newspapers do you read?
The Speaker of the House doesn’t even know we’re a Republic. She thinks magazines strengthen something about our nation that isn’t a facet of our nation. This eggplant is third in line to the presidency. Unfortunately, it’s the presidency of our nation too.
she only looks at the pictures.
Well THIS explains it all! No WONDER that woman is so stoopid.
Rumors are Pelosi practices her speeches for hours in front of a mirror.

On The O’Reilly Factor, guest Tonya Reiman
Reiman said: “I think that what happens is she [Pelosi] practices the speech too much and wants to come across as forceful and powerful and uses gestures that she might think are forceful.”
After O’Reilly stated, “So she’s practicing,” Reiman reiterated, “I think she does practice.”
REIMAN: I constantly see that. And one of the interesting things I saw tonight was, as she’s pointing, it’s like her fingers are stuttering. So, watch as she points.
O’REILLY: The fingers are stuttering.
REIMAN: It’s almost as if there’s a verbal exclamation point that she’s trying to make as she makes a point. Watch.
O’REILLY: There it is. There it goes.
REIMAN: Ba-ba-boom. You see it? Ba-ba-boom. And she does this in this entire speech. I saw this consistently. And I always feel like her gestures are just too rehearsed.
O’REILLY: Is it maybe she’s just not coordinated?
REIMAN: It’s possible. That’s absolutely possible.
O’REILLY: Do you think that Nancy Pelosi, while she’s giving a stem-winder speech like that, knows what her hands are doing?
REIMAN: No. I think that what happens is she practices the speech too much and wants to come across as forceful and powerful, and uses gestures that she might think are forceful and powerful —
O’REILLY: She’s not natural.
REIMAN: No, they don’t come across as natural.
“San Francisco is a magazine city”.
I’llllllll say! But there ain’t no girls in ‘em.
I know one she doesn’t read: Guns and Ammo.
Protection for sometimes treasonous reporters while you attemp to defund the troops...
TV Guide and Poofter Quarterly don’t count, Nance.
What would happen if some reporter started publishing information from a secret source critical of 9% Nancy or her business interests? How long would that shield law protecting secret sources last?
Her brain is truly on snooze much of the time.
Totally dumb and pathetic human being.
Probably cuz they keep breaking? < /meow >
roflol!
Probably right!
Pelosi: “I’m an addict of US Magazine.... just love those celebrity bulimia pieces..... and the way the propagandize so shamelessly on behalf of Democrats and against Sarah Palin!”
Of course, she claims to get them only for the articles.
wonder if Nance learns how to redistribute campaign contributions to friends and family in Good Housekeeping or “O” ?
I support a shield law. In the possible Obama presidency there will be so much corruption and so much tyranny that it will take brave journalists indeed to ferret out and expose everything that happens, and they need to be protected.
Unless we get as bad as Putin’s Russia and Obama’s goons start shooting and poisoning them as Putin does to HIS independent journalists.

How about Obama openly campaigning for his communist cousin Odinga who signed a pact with Muslims to enact Sharia Law if elected and started riots when he lost. Obama campaigned for an openly Anti-American candidate in a foreign country in 2006.
I’m addicted to making sure Obama isn’t elected Nancy.
