That pic is too much. Did you know she has 100 million in the bank? Yet on a daily level she blabs about the GOP millionaires, tax cuts for the rich, and how business is really bad for the nation.

Nancy Pelosi, her commitment to organized labor essentially ends when it comes to her own businesses. Nancy Pelosi and her husband own a Napa Valley vineyard...

They grow very expensive grapes for very expensive wines, and they don’t use members of the United Farm Workers to pick their grapes.

This winner of the Cesar Chavez award hires only non-union contractors.

Nancy Pelosi and her husband also own a chain of restaurants and a hotel in Napa Valley, California. Despite her public commitment to the Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees Union, you better not join that union and work for the Pelosi's, because you will end up getting fired.

Another big issue is the environment. She always makes statements that, with us, the environment is not an issue, it’s an ethic, it’s a value. Which is a nice way of saying, “I love the environment, but not when it comes to our own businesses.”

in 1996, Nancy Pelosi and her husband and fewer than 10 other partners wanted to build a golf course and country club outside of San Jose, California, called the CordeValle Country Club.

They never followed the environmental regulations. The ponds were never built for these endangered species. For seven years, they also failed to file any of the environmental reports required by the California Fish and Wildlife Commission.

A 2004 County Environmental Compliance Report found all kinds of environmental problems on the Pelosi's golf course.

What does that actually mean in practical terms? Did they turn around and build this habitat and comply?

No, they solved the problem the old-fashioned way: they hired lobbyists and they got the environmental regulations changed.
