Of course she did: Nancy Pelosi re-writes an honorary resolution honoring Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi is nuts. Stark, raving crazy. The Democratic National Committee wanted to honor the former Speaker of the House with a resolution, but she insisted on a re-write because the original wording wasn’t effusive enough.

Stretching the truth is nothing new for Nancy Pelosi

Politico.com has the ego info:


When the DNC’s Resolutions Committee brought up a resolution commemorating Pelosi’s years as speaker of the House, Pelosi’s daughter sought to alter the proposal at her mother’s behest, adding some of the accomplishments that the elder Pelosi felt the committee had overlooked.


“I have some friendly amendments,” said Christine Pelosi, a political strategist, at the committee’s session during the DNC Winter Meeting at the Marriott Wardman Park hotel Thursday afternoon. She is a member of the committee.



“You think I’m kidding,” Christine Pelosi added, to surprised laughter from the room. The proposed changes, she indicated, came out of a discussion with her mother.



First, Pelosi wanted to add a mention of her fight against HIV and AIDS, because it was “why she went to Congress.” Then, she wanted to insert a paragraph on her “accomplishments for equality,” mentioning the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 and the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” in December.


“Finally, since, as she said, ‘I’m not going anywhere,’ she wanted to add, in the final ‘whereas’ clause, ‘…and will continue the fight for America’s working families,'” Christine Pelosi said.



The committee applauded that point, and approved the amended resolution on a voice vote.


What? No mention of her personal crusade to support the Botox industry?

The lesson to be learned from this is that honorary resolutions are far more important than laws. Resolutions must be carefully read and rewritten to Pelosi’s exacting standards before they are passed. But laws? Laws must be passed before we can find out what’s in them.
