Pelosi's AIG Hypocrisy
These democrats are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Pelosi is one big hypocrite who was in a hurry to have these bills passed without one member reading the bill because she was in such a hurry to go to Rome. Now the democrats are trying to save face. Let's watch the debacle of these pork bills unfold, shall we?
House passes bill to tax employee bonuses at AIG, other companies with big bailouts
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Acting swiftly, the Democratic-led House approved a bill Thursday to slap punishing taxes on big employee bonuses at firms bailed out by taxpayers. In some cases the bonuses might be taxed 100 percent leaving the recipients with nothing.
The bill would impose a 90 percent tax on bonuses given to employees with family incomes above $250,000 at American International Group and other companies that have received at least $5 billion in government bailout money.
"We want our money back now for the taxpayers," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
Here is Pelosi's Hypocrisy:

HURRY, FELLAS, LET'S VOTE, I AM OFF TO ROME!

Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!
Culberson made the charge on Houston's KSEV radio.
Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there's a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.
Calls to Pelosi's spokesman went unreturned.
In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) predicted that none of his Senate colleagues would 'have the chance' to read the entire final version of the 1,071-page bill before it comes up for a final vote.






Of course Pelosi took an air force plane for her vacation to Rome, dropping in briefly to visit the pope to giver her trip an air of legitimacy.
