say it ain't so Pelosi

[DOGS THAT BARK]

WASHINGTON ? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid her husband's real estate and investment firm nearly $100,000 from her political action committee over the past decade, a practice that she voted to ban last year and that her party condemned as part of the "culture of corruption" when Republicans did it.
The Washington Times is reporting that the California Democrat's husband, Paul F. Pelosi, owns Financial Leasing Services Inc., which has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history.

Last year, Pelosi supported a bill that would have banned members of Congress from putting spouses on their campaign staffs. The bill banned not only direct payments by congressional campaign committees and PACs to spouses for services including consulting and furndraising, but also "indirect compensation," such as payments to companies that employ spouses.

The bill passed the House in a voice vote but died in a Senate committee.

Last week, Pelosi's office defended the payments, saying they were legal because she is compensating her husband at fair market value for the work his firm has performed for the PAC.

Ethical watchdogs called Pelosi's arrangement "problematic."

It's long past time to get rid of Bella Pelosi too. Her first act was to say she wasn't going to try to impeach Bush then she buckled in and gave him everything he wants. Including this bailout. You are right Dogs she has to go.

She is playing by the rules, the rules are wrong. The rules for representatives should include transparency and room for 0 nepotism.. She is the perfect example of why we need term limits... The people that she represents love her & the rest of the country has to live with her.....She is the poster boy/girl for the vacume of leadership in Washington..... I would trade the idea of term limits for this : the top 3 in seniority on both sides have to step aside after 8yrs. The people that have been in Washington as long as she has been, become intrenched power against the American People. I wish this was the biggest blemish on her record. This woman & most of the rest we have sent to Washington have a sense of entittlement. This woman thinks she is a Queen....http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/f/c/1/pelosi_queen_nancy.jpg
