All hail Nancy Pelosi, THE Queen of Pork!

by Mar Matthias Darin

Sources: Bloomberg, National Ledger, NRO Weekend, Congressional House Newsroom, New York Times, Taxpayers for Common Sense,

Nancy Pelosi's earmarks:

• Biowarfare Agent: $4 million
• Bioquiddity, Inc.: $3.9 million
• annual defense-spending bill, 28 earmarks (by Pelosi): $Unknown (must be a whopper)
• Water Resources Development Act: $25 million (Pelosi's gift to her husband, Gee, I don't remember saying I wanted to support her already RICH husband! I despise free loaders!)

Pork spending under the Pelosi's reign:

• 2007: $13.2 billion, 2,658 earmarks
• 2008: $18.3 billion, 11,737 earmarks

"The Tribune reports that the Arizona lawmakers are pikers when it comes to seeking earmarks. For 2008, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sponsored at least 34 earmarks. The paper listed them. Two were for more than $10 million and 19 for more than $1 million, all for her San Francisco district."

Lets not forget the $2,400 a week WE, not Pelosi, pay so she can have her very own personal makeup artist. Pelosi must love how it feels to spend OUR money anyway she wants to.
