Do Nancy Pelosi’s Words Prove Her Favorite Word is THE WORD?

Sometimes political pretense is so ridiculous, pandering so blatant, it defies words – but I’ll try. On May 6, 2010, Nancy Pelosi spoke at a Catholic Community Conference on Capitol Hill. In her fluttery, flouncy way, she claimed that she is obligated to support public policies “in keeping with the values” of Jesus Christ. Pelosi said her favorite word is – THE WORD – Jesus’ word.

Pelosi: “They ask me all the time, what is your favorite this? What is your favorite that? What is your favorite that?’ And one time, ‘What is your favorite word?’ And I said, ‘My favorite word? That is really easy. My favorite word is the Word, is the Word. And that is everything. It says it all for us. And you know the biblical reference, you know the Gospel reference of the Word.”

“And, uh, that… Word,” Pelosi said, “is, uh, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn’t it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word. (laughter)

“Fill, ya know, fill it in with anything you want. [...]

Flagrant flim-flam.

Nancy Pelosi voted for partial-birth abortion which became law in 2003. She has a perfect pro-abortion voting record.

“…I don’t think anybody can tell you when life begins, human life begins.”

“I will lead the most honest, the most open and the most ethical Congress in history.”

On September 24, 2009 Speaker Nancy Pelosi told THE WEEKLY STANDARD that she was “absolutely” committed to putting the text of the final House bill [health care] online for 72 hours before the House votes:

TWS: Madam Speaker, do you support the measure to put the final House bill online for 72 hours before it’s voted on at the very end?

PELOSI: Absolutely. Without question.

“We have to pass the bill to know what’s in it.”

“There has never been a more open process for any legislation.”

“I knew nothing about the CIA and water boarding.”

“The CIA is misleading the United States. They mislead us all the time.”

“Every month that we do not have a recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs.”

“There will be no earmarks in the economic recovery package that passes the house.”
