Politico
Who paid for Pelosi’s “accomplishments” party?
“No taxpayer funds or lobbyist money paid for the meeting,” Elshami said in an email to POLITICO.
When pressed further, Elshami said “No taxpayer or lobbyist. What more do you want?”

In other words…not her speakership.

It was money from a Bill Ayres bank heist in 1970.

Maybe they stole it from charities (the way Air America was funded).
It really should be paid for by all the new gov’t employees who make 150k+ a year. They do owe her.

Mr. Soros is not a “lobbyist”

Must have been BYOB

Okay, I give up. Who pays when congressional representatives have a meeting with coffee and doughnuts, catered dinner, prizes, party favors, in a congressional meeting room on capital hill? Petty cash?
Skandia Recluse on November 11, 2010 at 11:55 AM
Foreign money! Foreign money!

We’re all paying for Pelosi’s “accomplishments” one way or another, blee me.
Akzed on November 11, 2010 at 11:59 AM
One way or another, Soros paid for it. Fox News was there to get comments. Everybody there slipped out the back.

Well, we know for a fact that democrats never use their own money for anything, (e.g. stealing our money to fund their buy vote social programs), and we also know for a fact that they lie about virtually everything … so it probably was taxpayer money.

When pressed further, Elshami explained “Shut up. Shut up!”

So when they say it wasn’t Taxpayer or Lobbyist cash, that means it came from Taxpayer or Lobbyist cash.

“No taxpayer or lobbyist. What more do you want?”
Prove it!!

They sound a bit touchy, like they have something to hide.

This party was held in a Federal building, so did it cost us something.

Pelosi added that she joins “those who have called for looking into how is this
opposition to the mosqueparty being funded.”saint kansas on November 11, 2010 at 12:09 PM

Your media people are starting to ask pesky questions Democrats. Better adjust to that.
forest on November 11, 2010 at 12:14 PM
SNAP! Rush just implied that Jim Clyburn could be Nancy’s new driver! hilarious
ted c on November 11, 2010 at 12:18 PM
Oh goody…another round of RACIST!!!
ramrants on November 11, 2010 at 12:22 PM
I bet the folks at the NRCC would have gladly bankrolled it. The footage of Dem congressmen celebrating their “accomplishments” side-by-side with Pelosi will make for great 2012 ads.
Raisedbywolves on November 11, 2010 at 12:23 PM
You can bet it wasn’t the Chamber of Commerce…
right2bright on November 11, 2010 at 12:26 PM
Oh, so it was the taxpayer AND lobbyist. Gotcha.
DrAllecon on November 11, 2010 at 12:27 PM
Reminds me of last week when the White House denied that Barry and Michelle’s India trip wasn’t costing $200 million a day (despite the large Navy destroyer escort, the disassembled helicopters, the 3000-person entourage, the custom-built & air-conditioned 1 km. long “security” tunnel for Obama to use to go to the Gandhi museum, etc.).
It didn’t cost that much. Just trust us. We’d never lie to the public about how much government is spending, would we?
AZCoyote on November 11, 2010 at 12:31 PM
winner!
cmsinaz on November 11, 2010 at 12:42 PM
I heard it was D. B. Cooper.
Mr. D on November 11, 2010 at 12:45 PM
Paid for by monies seized in airport crotch searches by TSA.

Ha Ha Ha Ha… driving Miss Nancy

How long will the standoff last?

I would just like to know what congressman would have the nerve to attend a party, “for their accomplishments”, when we are facing such a horrendous financial situation…
