Nancy Pelosi — Party Animal While Rome Burns!
November 8, 2010 - by Roger L Simon

Excuse the cliché but …. is Nancy Pelosi the gift that keeps on giving to Republicans or is she the gift that keeps on giving to Republicans?
Nancita — the woman who recently told us her “children and grandchildren were her greatest accomplishments” — apparently doesn’t want to give short shrift to those other accomplishments (the political kind) and is having a party to celebrate same.
In case you haven’t received one, according to Drudge, the following invitation has recently been sent out :

"Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the United States House of Representatives requests the pleasure of your company at a reception honoring the Accomplishments of the 111th Congress on Wednesday, the tenth day of November, two thousand ten at three thirty in the afternoon Cannon Caucus Room 345 Cannon House Office Building"

Be there or be square, I say. As we all know, these were great accomplishments that deserve the highest praise and the only problem was one of communication. Otherwise, we would all be celebrating. Never mind that no one, including her, read her health care plan or has any idea what it really costs or knows where the stimulus money went. And never mind that the national debt as of today is  $13,738,805,396,110.18

That’s only $44,388.74 per person. Nancy can afford that easily — and so can most of her close friends, I’m sure. The rest of us can mange gateau or learn Chinese, while waiting for the country and its entitlements to go bankrupt. It won’t be long anyway, at current rates. Our biggest states are already there.
So celebrate away, Nancy. Nero has nothing on you. Besides, the population of Ancient Rome never crested a paltry five million. We’re close to sixty-two times that and growing. Learn to play fiddle and you’ll be in the history books for sure.
Oops… wait a minute, perhaps I spoke too soon. There is reason for Nancy to celebrate — she and the administration broke the record!
Meanwhile, entertainment at the party… will it be provided by Al Gore or Lesley Gore? Big Grin

Actually, this is standard for the closing of a congressional session. Of course the reception hasn't been held in awhile because 1. DENNIS HASTERT QUIT and 2. NEWT GINGRICH WAS REMOVED AS SPEAKER! Guess the republicans didn't have any reason to party on their last two congressional sessions, they didn't finish them WITH A SPEAKER! Eeker
Of course Newt and crowd could play a five sting quartet of fiddles while Rome burned if national debt was the measuring factor for a reception:
From Wikipedia:
In nominal dollars the public debt rose and then fell between 1992 and 2000 from $3T in 1992 to $3.4T in 2000. During the administration of President George W. Bush, the gross debt increased from $5.6 trillion in January 2001 to $10.7 trillion by December 2008,[8] rising from 58% of GDP to 70.2% of GDP.

Newt left office after the Republicans suffered losses during a mid-term election. No drugs. Typical left wing red herring. Too bad Pelosi won't do the honorable thing and leave. Staying she makes a great target. Never knew Rush held office. Perhaps, you could provide a reference for that. Otherwise, just more fog.

Well let me try to de-fog things a little for you elintor, To say that Gingrich left just because of republican loses is sort of like saying Nixon left office because he knew some bad plumbers.
