but it wants the Military to take a pay cut...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of lawmakers' jobs.
"I don't think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. "I think it's necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded."
The comments were made in the context of the looming sequester, which would force across-the-board cuts affecting most federal offices, including Congress. With lawmakers nowhere near a deal to avert those cuts, federal agencies are bracing for ways to absorb them with minimum damage to programs and personnel.
Pelosi, whose husband is a wealthy real-estate developer, was quick to note that a cut in her own pay would be far less significant than that for both staffers and less wealthy members of Congress.
"It's a hard question to ask me because most of my colleagues are the breadwinners in their families," she said. "A pay cut to me doesn't mean as much."

That picture is hilarious!
Stenny Hoyer looks like he’s holding a purse while walking hand in hand with Lewis.

Although I would like to see Marshall alive right now. That man could sure run a war.
Very nice......a gay man kissing a mafia princess. Don’t get to see that every day.
We could not make up this stuff. *She* could, and did.
Thanks SkyPilot.
Nobody’s mentioned this, but when she talks she sounds like the stupidest person on earth. Total, complete, utter retard. I don’t understand why Repblicans are so afraid of he/she/it.
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.

It’s time for Citizens Internal Revenue Service (CIRS) to start confiscating all assets of politicians past and present as debt repayment.
Surely 535 patriots can be found to serve without pay, healthcare, perks, benefits, insurance, etc., etc., and then go home to their real jobs.
Republicans are not only afraid of her they are afraid of their own shadows.
My guess is that is totally ruthless and vindictive. She is not smart, but very ambitious and clever with manipulation. She has always craved attention, and thinks herself as very attractive. Her greatest fear is she is aging fast, hence the multiple surgeries.
Hey Nazi Pelosi Bitch, my husband has been working for HALF of what he was making before you and Bozo frigged things up, and that’s when there has been work which there hasn’t been much over the last four years. His union tile job disappeared June 2009, along with our medical coverage, pension contributions, annuities, etc.
How would you like to make HALF to NONE of your juicy salary Bitch???
I deplore these bastards.
Nancy Pelosi diminishes the dignity of the job simply by being in that office.
A legacy of corruption and failure and she’s worried about dignity???
I think they should be paid minimum wage. They are basically unskilled workers not fit for the job market.
Look at Stenny carrying the bag!
I think that is the one case where actually offering less pay would increase the average worker IQ
Yup. Her grandchildren "deserve" a better future, not yours or ours.
It could be she’s like Stalin, who wasn’t exactly the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, but was utterly ruthless and paranoid and knew how to manipulate the levers of power. I bet Leon Trotsky (capable general and intellectual) kept banging his head against the wall wondering how a semiliterate Georgian could win the political battle against him- until Stalin dispatched an assassin to REALLY bang his head.
That bag is probably stuffed solid with hundreds.
Dignity? That presumes the respect everyone knows is non-existent.
All of them are telling the people “SCREW YOU!” She says they need to respect themselves. Unbelievable.
