She’s nothing more than a two-dollar whore for Obama, or ANY other Democrat President. Where is the ‘dignity’ in that?

I think it's necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded. Is that a misquote, or does she naturally talk in gibberish now?

I may be mistaken, but I thought the reward for dignity was respect, not money. And those who exhibit no dignity get no respect, which probably explains low Congressional popularity ratings.

How about the 300,000,000 + people that are being beat over the head with your sour politics. Your rating as leader of the Congress was one of the lowest ever.

I think Pelosi and her family already have more money than they need. She needs to return 70% of it to the government. The “media” has finally brainwashed me. I hate “the rich”. Especially “rich” public servants.

Why does that headline make me think the following “Oh no Br’er Bear, don’t throw me into that briar patch!”?

"I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi said.She gives real meaning to the term, "Contempt of Congress."

Dignity. You have none, bitch.
To: Dallas59
I'm going to file this one away for the next time a major recession hits and my company makes me take yet another 10% haircut in pay.
"Boss, you can't cut my pay because it will undermine the dignity of my position. You should respect the work I do for you. I think it's necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded."
Yep, that'll work just perfectly.

Put her on minimum wage and seize all her family assets!

Dignity has to do with honor, integrity, and values... not wages.
Nancy Pelosi has done as much or more than anybody else in Congress to destroy the dignity of the office
(and no amount of tax money can restore it)

"I think we should respect the work we do," Pelosi said.Doesn't sound like the words of one who recognizes that her position is to SERVE by the consent of the governed. Congress works for us. Employees of ours shouldn't be telling us what they intend to earn. She has it backwards. We're fools if we allow these folks to keep gorging themselves at our expense.

Nancy’s boy, Barry, cut the hell out of my paycheck beginning on 1 January. What about MY DIGNITY?!
