Nancy Pelosi Writing her Memoirs

[illinoisprogressive]

NEW YORK - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat who this year became the first woman to hold the top spot in the House of Representatives, is writing a memoir, to be released in the summer of 2008 by the Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group.

"From my parents' home in Baltimore to representing San Francisco in the Congress, my life has been devoted to family and public service. I look forward to telling my story for my grandchildren and in recognition of the contributions of all women across America," Pelosi said in a statement issued Thursday by Doubleday, a division of Random House, Inc.

The book, currently untitled, will be written with a collaborator "yet to be determined," according to Doubleday. Financial terms were not disclosed. Unlike Senate rules, House rules prohibit members from getting book advances, although they may get royalties.

1. Saint Nancy.

Her life has been devoted to family and public service? Oh, spare me.

I'm sorry but I'm just a little too put out with the woman to be very receptive to her self-laudatory statements.

2. Suggested Title: "My Service to a Lovely Man"

Or, "Worth it if you can Succeed." I mean, "Off the Table" would just be too obvious, wouldn't it?

3. She JUST Became Speaker, and NOW She's Writing Memoirs?

"Dear Diary,

Well, I've just been appointed Speaker of the House. This is the pinnacle of everything I've ever worked for. I can't believe I finally made it to the top...the point of my career I'll never surpass. Finally, I'm done moving forward. Now I can just relax, and reflect on all my past achievements, which are all I'll ever have left. Hmmm...maybe I should write them down."

4. Someone tell me something significant she has done?

Other than in her own eyes?

5. Annoying. Really annoying if she doesn't pipe up about impeachment. I

still have this thought that it might happen.

6. Nancy broke through the marble ceiling and will now pen her memoir.

She doesn't care what you think. :nuke:

9. Oh how true. I guess we must not have enough millions in our portfolios to warrant

such undeserving recognition, or for her to actually do her job.

7. From off the Impeachment Table to

on the Remainder Table. I was foolishly hoping for a Saint Joan to lead the charge and got another professional pol instead. I'm old enough and should have known better.

8. There ought to be a LAW !!

No books until you retire :) (unless writing books is what you do for a living :)..)

10. My first response is she shouldn't have time for that.

Our country's so f*'d.
She's supposed to LEAD.

Yeah, Nancy, soldiers and Iraqis die everyday, the US President makes a bonfire of the constitution, but you have time to write a book.

11. "be written with a collaborator"

I guess they mean her?

12. "How I Failed My Country"

What an arrogant act by a cowardly woman.
