CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS ?? Nancy Pelosi is now a Saint....
On a Saturday afternoon, in Washi ngton, D. C., an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited the Cardinal of the Catholic cathedral.
He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day’s sermon, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
The Cardinal replied, “No. I don’t really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi’s views.”
Pelosi’s aide then said, “Look. I’ll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you’ll just tell the congregation you see Pelosi as a saint.”
The Cardinal thought about it and said, “Well, the church can use the money, so I’ll work your request into tomorrow’s sermon.”
As Pelosi’s aide promised, House Speaker Pelosi appeared for the Sunday sermon and seated herself prominently at the edge of the main aisle.
And, during the sermon, as promised, the Cardinal pointed out that House Speaker Pelosi was present.
Then the Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation -- “While Speaker Pelosi’s presence is probably an honor to some, she is not my favorite person. Some of her views are contrary to those of the church, and she tends to flip-flop on many other views. Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief.
Nancy Pelosi is one of the worst examples of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed.
She married for money and is using it to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her Representative obligations, both in Washington and in California. She simply is not to be trusted.”
The Cardinal completed his view of Pelosi with, “But, when compared to Senators Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, and John Kerry, House Speaker Pelosi is a saint.”
Gotta love this one!!!
She’ll never be a saint, but I wish she were cannonized.
The Archbishop of Washington is not a Cardinal.

But replace each "[" with "<" and each "]" with ">"
If only the current Archbishop would do something like this.

In addition:
I stand corrected!
I researched again, and only find my post with the Title: “Nancy Pelosi is now a Saint”.
I don’t know why the first doesn’t show up. The second doesn’t have the same title.
Maybe the Admin Dude can pull this one ...
Any idea why the other with the same title doesn’t show up on a search by title?
If by “cannonized”, you mean shot out of a circus cannon I’m all for it! :)
Sounds like complete BS to me.
it’s a joke
