There she stands like a queen looking down on her subjects from the steps of her summer palace in San Francisco wearing designer suits and her $300 haircut.

I really can't understand this dig, especially since "$300" is significantly less from the $400 John Edwards haircut everybody biatched about when he was running. Do they expect the speaker of the House to get styled at Fantastic Sam's? If you're going to spend any amount of time on national television or plan to be in the newspaper, you're going to shell out to have your hair done up.

Sure she's batshiat crazy and looks like she was drunked in wax, but I want the name of her plastic surgeon!!

Yawn. Another stupid WND piece. I don't like Democrats, so I'm going to make fun of how their Speaker looks!

And of course call Democrats Socialists and Communists.


/10 years ago it was: Newt Gingrich is fat and Republicans are Nazis!

Nancy Pelosi represents the worst of the socialist party in this country that goes by the name "Democrat."

Don't be coy, tell us how you really feel.

/If she's spending $300 on her hair, and has a chauffeur and servants, then she is contributing to prosperity, doofus.

//Her wealth is "trickling down."

$520 shoes

I don't understand this. What do they want him walking around in crocs or wal*mart flip flops??

He's a Senator and running for President. He can't dress nice? $500 shoes isn't that much when you make $130,000 a year.

FTFA:

Madam Pelosi represents the worst of the political bourgeoisie. She and her colleagues now have a lock on the House and Senate. They chair every committee in Congress. They pretend to know what's best for the rest of us, but they will never feel our pain at the pump when we have to raid the funds set aside for groceries and school supplies to fill up the family car. Madam Pelosi never visits these wretched places. She sends her driver and cook to the gas station and grocery store.

FTF author's bio page on WND:

Jane is a pilot and lives on a private runway in Southern California.

Yep, just a regular American Jane Sixpack fighting to keep her head above water like the rest of us.

Well, that's the thing. We don't talk about his shoes. It's farking stupid. Just like it's farking stupid to make fun of Pelosi or any other prominent politician who regularly gets attention both on TV and in printer for spending money on her hair.

It's counter intuitive to champion the poor slaving minions sporting serious bling. The picture doesn't match the words.

Its a haircut. Women spend a lot of money on hairstyling. When I found out how much my girlfriends spend on cut/style/color/eyebrow wax/nails etc..I couldn't believe it. Its ridiculous. Still if they didn't spend that much to look good we'd say they were ugly.

$500 for shoes is quite a lot when you make $130,000 a year, if you're like most people making that salary. However, when you are worth better than a hundred million, it's pretty de minimis.

Then I expect all Republicans to start wearing oil well costumes.

(and I don't think "counter intuitive" is the phrase you're looking for there -- you're looking for hypocritical)

But seriously, I don't expect our elected officials to mirror their constituencies in their personal lives. It's their work and their votes that matter. It should be possible to support causes of the poor without resorting to wearing sackcloth.

Nancy has way more than a few nickels to rub together. Your comparison isn't much of a comparison. And it's not her money she wants to use to make her little socialist utopia out of..it's our tax money she's after.

I guess if you have a family. I don't. I make half that and I have a nice pair of Italian leather boots that cost $500.

I just don't see anyone in Congress these days who gives a damn about the country anymore. it's all about their beltway insider crap and maintaining ideological purity. meanwhile, the stock market is in trouble, our money is devaluing like mad and we're all going to go bankrupt with this trend towards 'universal' health care and retirement funds.

I'm not the Speaker of the House and I spend $200 to get my hair done. Thank god I'm not running for office. I'd have to start doing walk ins at the Mall and buying all my clothes from Wal*Mart.

I don't think this is fair. First of all, there are 535 people in Congress, and we know very little about most all of them. I would be most of us would seriously to struggle to name even 5% of people in Congress. Secondly, being in Congress is really not easy, having to make consensus with a ton of other people, and not making headlines when it happens. A lot of stuff happens behind the scenes and people get zero credit. Feel free to blame Congressional leaders, but I don't think its fair to paint them all with a single brush.

You've never proved they are a bad thing that will kill the economy, like you claim, or how they are Pelosi's fault. I'm pretty sure she isn't the only person responsible for getting everything passed, I think a majority of Representatives have to support her.

Pelosi tabled the 09 federal budget a month ago..it's written in stone..it's her fault. It's about a trillion dollars in tax increases. If you think the public can absorb a trillion in tax increases, well all righty then. I hope you feel that way in December when the market tanks from everyone "profit taking" before those capital gains taxes increase.

The big hits are all the alternative energy projects that are in construction, if they don't complete by Jan 1st, they will lose 20% of their investment to the government coffers. Theres are solar and other large scale projects.

And all this is before all the wonderful entitlements the democrats are selling. Do some homework, will ya?
