Culture of Corruption - Just Another Day...(Meet Pelosi's family )
Red State ^ | Thursday 7 June 2007 | mbecker908

A database company that has showered money on Bill and Hillary Clinton – and is alleged to have aided scam artists – now appears to have close links to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's family as well.

The firm InfoUSA, headed by major Clinton backer Vinod Gupta, has placed Pelosi's son, Paul Pelosi Jr., on its payroll – even though he has no experience in the company's main business activities, NewsMax has learned.

[...]

The company is also under fire in a shareholder lawsuit which alleges that Gupta is appropriating company funds for personal use and his political pet projects.

Shareholder critics are furious that Gupta had InfoUsa pay former President Bill Clinton $2.1 million in "consulting fees" since he left the White House, with another $1.2 million promised.

[...]

Just four weeks after Nancy Pelosi became speaker of the House this past January, Gupta and InfoUSA hired her son as a senior vice president. He told NewsMax InfoUsa pays him $180,000 a year.

Even though his job with InfoUSA is considered full-time, Paul Pelosi continues another full-time job, as a home loan officer at Countrywide Home Loans, part of Countrywide Financial, in San Mateo, a suburb of San Francisco.

While InfoUSA is based in Omaha, Pelosi said he reports to a small InfoUSA office in San Mateo.

[...]

Asked what a home mortgage loan officer would know about the business of InfoUsa which manages databases about consumers for direct mail and telemarketing, Pelosi said his experience in investment banking has been useful to the company in its acquisitions of other companies.

I’m sorry, InfoUSA just doesn’t roll off the tongue like Halliburton does. So I’m guessing the media and talking heads won’t start repeating it over and over and over again.

Just as "remarkable" as his mom, huh!

The question is when will the congress vote to declare Span-ish the official language of the United States of Mexico? Since Pelosi uses thousands of illegal aliens in her business in the Imperial Republic of California.

Nancy must have paid close attention when Meyer Lanskey and Lucky Luciano came over to visit Daddy.

When he flies on the company jet, Pelosi said, it's always with Gupta on business. He said his relationship with Gupta is "nothing like the Clinton situation."

pelosi's son talking here... sure seems like he's saying Clinton does nothing. Gotta follow the money to Clinton...

This info needs to be a hot topic on all the talk radio shows. Since the MSM won’t tell the truth, then the American people have to get the word out as best they can and as fast as they can.

And you know of course that Pelosi in Italian means the one with the hairy body.
