Pelosi 'Swears' Spirit of Susan B. Anthony Spoke to Her in White House

(CNSNews.com)- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) told a recent gathering of the Women’s Political Committee that the spirits of suffragists Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul spoke to her at the White House.

Pelosi said she heard them say: “At last we have a seat at the table”.

A video recently posted on Youtube shows Pelosi speaking in May describing her first meeting with President Bush in the White House after becoming part of the Democratic House leadership.

In the video Pelosi says, “He’s (Bush) saying something to the effect of we’re so glad to welcome you here, congratulations and I know you’ll probably have some different things to say about what is going on--which is correct. But, as he was saying this, he was fading and this other thing was happening to me."

“My chair was getting crowded in," said Pelosi. "I swear this happened, never happened before, it never happened since."

"My chair was getting crowded in and I couldn’t figure out what it was, it was like this," she said.

"And then I realized Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Alice Paul, Sojourner Truth, you name it, they were all in that chair, they were," said Pelosi. "More than I named and I could hear them say: 'At last we have a seat at the table.' And then they were gone."

This was not the only time Pelosi has told this story. On June 6 of this year she told it during an event celebrating her 25 years of political service.

Pelosi has also told the story when speaking at colleges, including at Trinity Washington University’s commencement on May 20, 2012. Pelosi's website contains a transcript of the tale as related in her 2005 commencement address at Goucher College in Baltimore.

Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were activists in the women’s rights movement during the mid to late 1800’s. The Susan B. Anthony List, which works for pro-life women’s leadership in government, uses her as a namesake. The organization claims Anthony and Stanton were strong pro-life supporters.

For two years I lived at Fort Myers Virginia which has Arlington Cemetary surrounding it. Worked at the Pentagon.
You don’t think I heard some ghosts?

It really doesn’t surprise me that Pelosi claims to hear voices in her head. It really explains a lot and makes total sense to me. She really is as loopy as she seems!

You go ahead and laugh, but I’ve heard the tape.

You can clearly hear SBA say “damn I thought I was a booger”.

And her favorite word is “The WORD”

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=nancy+pelosi+the+word&oq=Nancy+pelosi+the+&gs_l=youtube.1.0.0l2.398.11205.0.13655.17.11.0.6.6.0.518.1671.0j9j5-1.10.0...0.0...1ac.EmisAHHY9-0

She’s batsh_t crazy, and should be under some kind of supervision.

OTOH, I hope she has a prominent speaking role at the DNC.

Yeah, when the mental disorders kick in all sorts of voices are heard.

Someone from Susan B. Anthony List ought to remind Nancy that SBA was adamently pro-life.

It was probably just Obama running around in Michelle’s night shirt.

Tonite Conan O’Brien, who I used to love, will crack jokes that make Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin look foolish. But Nancy Pelosi talking with spirits? Nothing ridiculous there. Nope. Nada. Nothing.

It is unremarkable that an apostate Catholic would be the victim of deceit by demons parading as souls in hell.

There’s 1.) quirky, 2.) crazy, 4.) mad and 5.) barking mad.

Talking to dead people is 6.).

Did you catch this snarky last sentence? Susan B. Anthony was outspokenly PRO-LIFE. There's not a whisper of doubt about it.

She spoke to me, too. She said, “Will you guys give me my dollars back?”
