a funny one..

On a Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D. C., House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's
aide visited the Cardinal of the Catholic cathedral. He told the Cardinal
that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next day's sermon, and he asked if
the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few
words that would include calling Pelosi a saint..

The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there are
issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of Pelosi's
views." Pelosi's aide then said, "Look. I'll write a check here and now
for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you'll just tell the
congregation you see Pelosi as a saint."

The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the money,
so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon." As Pelosi's aide
promised, House Speaker Pelosi appeared for the Sunday sermon and seated
herself prominently at the edge of the main aisle. And during the sermon,
as promised, the Cardinal pointed out that House Speaker Pelosi was present.

Then the Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Speaker
Pelosi's presence is probably an honor to some, she is not my favorite person. Some of her views are contrary to those of the church, and she
tends to flip-flop on many other views. Nancy Pelosi is a petty,
self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is
also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. Nancy Pelosi is the worst example
of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is
using it to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for
shirking her Representative obligations both in Washington and in
California. She simply is not to be trusted."

The Cardinal completed his view of Pelosi with, "But, when compared to
Senators Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, and John Kerry, House Speaker Pelosi is a
saint."
