Big government wasteful spending at its worst
There’s a post title I thought I’d never write. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, posted a video of her cats on her official YouTube page and then promptly RickRolls viewers at the 37 second mark.
“In honor of the launch of http://YouTube.com/HouseHub, Speaker Pelosi presents a behind the scenes view of the Speaker’s Office in the US Capitol.”
This is the person who becomes President of the United States of America if the right two people go down.
I’m moving to Canada. Thanks for the tip Michael.
PS – Where’s the RIAA when you need them? Somebody somewhere owns the copyright on that song. I’d forgive all if they sued Pelosi.
I mean really. Just how in the fuck can you justify this? Cats? RickRolling? A fucking gavel with her damn name on it!! Aren’t they supposed to be wasting their stolen money on “the children” or the poor or fighting the rich or killing brown people?

You seriously don’t know how they justify this? They’ll just say the good will they’ve earned with young people is worth way more than the cost of producing it. Young people having some faith in their government because they think it is a little “hip and with it” is worth more to most people than the cost of making this clip. That’s what they are spending the money on and if you asked them I’d bet they’d tell you just that. Hell they already spend money to tell people that beef tastes good, this is much easier to justify.

I know that’s what would be said. My point is that during normal economic periods this would be stupid. In our current environment its that much more horrible.
