Nancy Pelosi is Dignified. Here, Let Me Show You!

I’m a day or two late to this story, but it’s still fresh, so let’s run with it. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is unhappy with Republican insistence that members of Congress do the jobs for which the American people hired them. She believes that paying them less than they make right now, which will happen if the sequester for which she voted takes effect, demeans them and makes them feel unrewarded.

And by “them”, she mostly means “her”.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she opposes a cut in congressional pay because it would diminish the dignity of lawmakers’ jobs.

“I don’t think we should do it; I think we should respect the work we do,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. “I think it’s necessary for us to have the dignity of the job that we have rewarded.”

I’m not sure how she could have packed those two sentences more full of arrogance and entitlement. Perhaps she could have dressed up as pre-Revolutionary French noble and delivered her whiny protest while perched on the backs of two shirtless houseboys.

I could make a point here about how much Pelosi makes compared to how little she works, or how her attention to detail seems to be lacking when it comes to the contents of the bills for which she votes, but I won’t. I will, instead, celebrate Nancy Pelosi’s dignity as displayed in two photos so full of dignified behavior and humble reserve they will stun you to silence.



Because nothing says “dignity of the office” like a contrived march to the Capitol after you’ve passed Obamacare while holding a giant gavel in your hands or dragging a whole bunch of kids to yoru swearing-in ceremony to show the world that, by God, you loves you some children, right?
