Pelosi: Sequestration Preventing Me from Visiting Troops on Mother's Day Daniel Halper May 9, 2013 2:26 PM

Nancy Pelosi indicated she would be visiting troops this weekend but for sequestration:

"Every year for the past few years, on Mother's Day, I've gone--I've taken a delegation--into Afghanistan or Iraq, we're alternating now, now Afghanistan--for Mother's Day to say thank you to our moms and, by the way, our grandmothers, who are serving there. Some young grandmothers. But, nonetheless, grandmothers. To also thank all of our troops for what they do to protect America's families. I won't be going this particular weekend because we don't have--you know, under sequestration, we don't have codels."

Yeah, Nancy, and I haven’t taken a trip either because of my mortgage, and my car payment, and my TAXES, and my payroll tax increase, etc.

Cry me a river! The troops are better off not seeing worthless gladhanding politicians.

” Assuming, of course, she really wants to go.”
Bingo.
Probably thinking to herself, “Thank god I don’t have to go. Look, I can blame republicans too!”

has she no shame?

She is worth millions and millions. I am sure as former speaker and her check book, she could get her saggy ass to a base and allowed entry.

What a pile of sh*t she and her ilk are

Afghanistan’s loss is Travis AFB’s gain, Nancy. Can you manage an hour drive from your office in Sacramento? Oh, right — that wouldn’t be on a military plane, and you wouldn’t really have an excuse for blowing a thousand bucks of taxpayer money on booze and snacks.

She is an evil woman who does Satan’s bidding, nothing more and nothing less. Without repentance she will find herself in the fire with the rest of her kind.

...and, by the way, our grandmothers, who are serving there.

How many grandmas are serving overseas? Weird comment.

The troops would take up a collection to help Nancy go somewhere else.

If she sincerely cared about the troops, she’d pay for the trip herself.
