Marietta On a Saturday afternoon in Washington, D. C., House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's


> aide visited the Cardinal of the Catholic cathedral.

>

> He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be

> attending the next day's sermon 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, he wrote the check and House Speaker Pelosi

> appeared for the Sunday sermon, seating

> herself prominently at the edge of the main aisle.

>

> During the sermon, as promised, the Cardinal pointed out that

> House Speaker Pelosi was present. The Cardinal then went on to explain

> to the congregation

> -- "While Speaker Pelosi's presence is probably an honor

> to some, she is not my favorite person. Some of her views are

> contrary to those of the church and she tends to flip-flop on many other

> views. 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.

>

> "Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I

> have ever personally witnessed. She married for money

> and is using it to lie to the American people. She also has a

> reputation for shirking her Representative obligations both in Washington and

> in California. She simply is not to be trusted."

>

> The Cardinal completed his view of Pelosi with, "But, when compared to

> Senators Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, and John Kerry, House Speaker

> Pelosi is a saint."
