Saint Nancy
On a Saturday afternoon, in Washington , D. C., an aide to House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi visited the Cardinal of the Catholic cathedral in D.C. He told the
Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's Mass, and he asked
if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few
words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there are issues
of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi's views." Pelosi's
aide then said, "Look. I'll write a check here and now for a donation of
$100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the congregation you see Pelosi as a
saint."
The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money,
so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon." As Pelosi's aide promised,
House Speaker Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship and seated herself
prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle. As promised, at the
start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Speaker Pelosi was present.
The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Speaker Pelosi's
presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among my
personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary to
tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip-flop on many other issues. Nancy
Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy
Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is
the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married
for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a
reputation for shirking her Representative obligations
both in Washington , and
in California . The woman is simply not to be trusted."
The Cardinal concluded, "But, when compared with Pres. Obama, House Speaker
Pelosi is a saint."
