CLEVER  CATHOLICS ... ST. NANCY PELOSI

Last Saturday afternoon, in  Washington , D.C. , an aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi  visited the Bishop 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 President  Obama, House Speaker Pelosi is a saint."

Gosh, I love  being around Catholics -
