One hot Saturday afternoon in July an aide to Nancy Pelosi visited the Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.
He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day’s Mass and asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the Congregation and say a few words that would include calling Pelosi a saint.
“No,” the Cardinal replied. “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, Pelosi appeared for the Sunday worship and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle.
At the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Speaker Pelosi was present.
“While Pelosi’s presence is probably an honor to some,” the Cardinal said to the congregation, “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 flipflop on many other issues. Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker and a nitwit. 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.”
“But when compared to President Obama,” the Cardinal concluded, “Pelosi is a saint.”

Kinda makes sense though, pretty sure there's no patron saint of Bullshit yet.
Are you sure about that Bryan? Then just what is Scary Harry reid's position? OH YEAH!! He's the Czar of Bullshit.
Patron Saint of Bullshit? Pick a Kennedy, any Kennedy.
Is Olivia a Kennedy?
Ha, ha!
If not directly then by proxy
Yes. She's of the Illinois Kennedys.
How about a patron saint of Botox?
She is the patron saint of botox at the least she is the spokewoman. She is like the caution photo of botox use.
WARNING, SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE LOOKING LIKE NANCY PELOSI!
For real! Her picture associated with botox will diminish its use by a great percentage I am sure. :-)
I was so hoping this was a true story.
LOL
Here, Here, and AMEN! Pass the plate please, second collection goes to the Saint Nancy P. Loosely defamation league!
This is my new favorite joke!
I would like to shake that gentleman's hand, God bless him!
"She married for money." Whyinell would anybody with money marry a skank like her. For that matter, why would someone even without money marry a skank like her. Boy talk about coyote ugly. Wake up with that and you'd never drink again.
Well, back around the dawn of time, she was Miss America. At one time Skanky Pelosi was a thing of beauty. This was back when electrons were still square, the Ark was sailing the high seas (why thell didn't Noah kill those two damned mosquitos when he had the chance????) and it only took a quarter to buy a gallon of gas. (before democrats went nutzoil raising taxes...)
Pelosi came from a political family with money & power out east, Baltimore to be exact. Her old man, Thomas D'Alessandro, was a US Congressman & Mayor of Baltimore. Her hubby, Paul, also came from a well to do backround as well, I believe he's from NYC.
OMG!!! That is the greatest thing I have seen today!!
Hold up there! The President is the making the jokes around here(unless I misread the previous post) so don't go trying to hog the spotlight before he thinks of the punchline. Have a nice, long, weekend...
The 110th congress will not tolerate deficit spending. This is the end of deficit spending.
Nanzi Pelosi....just before she went on to deficit spend $5 trillion dollars in four years.
Nanzi can pucker up and suck a nice wet shiny turd out of my asshole.
No problem for her if there is some cash up there.
Unfortunately, it ain't really a joke.
