Boehner has stock in BP, other oil companies

When her day job as House speaker ends, Nancy Pelosi might one day retire to her vineyard in Napa Valley.

Annual financial disclosure reports released Wednesday show that most congressional leaders have built up nice nest eggs, including investments worth millions, to see them through when they finally give up their hold on political power.

Mrs. Pelosi can repair to her vineyard in St. Helena, Calif., valued at between $5 million and $25 million, that she owns with her wealthy real estate-magnate husband, Paul. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid could return to Searchlight, Nev., site of some of his many mining claims he valued at well over $1 million.

It's good to be the queen......... beyotch

[IncPen]

My hope is that her millions are returned to their rightful owners and she lives out her retirement in jail.

I detest that woman.

[Texas Fossil]

Will she? What if she is in jail for Fraud. She is the only person who certified that Obozo is qualified to serve as President.

We once had a House committee on Un-American Activities. The current group of traitors need such an examination. And some jail time when convicted.

There’s a reason she has the best security that money can buy...

[funfan]

I wish her a reteirement which mimicks the Wicked Witch of the West and her sister the Wicked Witch of the East as chronicled in the Wizard Of Oz

[site of some of his many mining claims he valued at well over $1 million.]

reid’s game is to turn those worthless mining claims into a commuter community worth $25 to $50 million.

She can eat and drink the best till she dies.

All the wealth in the world will not make up for the deep inner emptiness. A life spent in telling lies. A fortune built on misfortune. The barren waste of a dark soul. Power usurped, wealth purloined, babies murdered.

There is nothing - literally nothing - that this world could give me that would be worth living as that barren soul.

This could be the portrait of so many of them, her, Dodd, Reid, Frank. The more you try to name, the more you realize there is no end to the list.....

That picture, if I recall correctly, was shown at the end of “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, a 1945 MGM production with Hurd Hatfield and George Sanders. It was the only part of the movie in color.

By the Chicago master of "hyper-realism" Ivan Albright.

It hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago, along with another haunting work, which is also strangely appropriate to this thread.

It is called "The Door" but Albright had another name for it:

"That Which I Should Have Done, I Did Not Do"

Very, very well said.

[shibumi]

Thanks. I call ‘em like I see ‘em.

I got to sit next to one of her spawn this week on a flight. Longest. Flight. Ever.

[Publius]

Thank you for pointing me to Albright. I didn’t know that MGM hired him to paint that picture for the movie.

[unkus]

Evil has control of 0bama, Pelosi, Frank, et al. There is no other explanation.

Did you get the creeps or just uneasy?

[LouAvul]

She'll be fine. She has no conscience and will enjoy the rest of her life. The residents in Napa Valley will revere her like royalty.

But there is a Time coming. "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." Eccl 12:14

Yes, with any luck she’s going to be cut off cold turkey pretty soon.
