Pelosi: Sequestration Preventing Me from Visiting Troops on Mother's Day Daniel Halper May 9, 2013 2:26 PM

Nancy Pelosi indicated she would be visiting troops this weekend but for sequestration:

"Every year for the past few years, on Mother's Day, I've gone--I've taken a delegation--into Afghanistan or Iraq, we're alternating now, now Afghanistan--for Mother's Day to say thank you to our moms and, by the way, our grandmothers, who are serving there. Some young grandmothers. But, nonetheless, grandmothers. To also thank all of our troops for what they do to protect America's families. I won't be going this particular weekend because we don't have--you know, under sequestration, we don't have codels."

>>How many grandmas are serving overseas? Weird comment.

I know two. One Navy (Reserve) and one Army (NG).

Interesting. Are they sad that Pelosi won't be visiting them?

They’re sad they can’t put ordnance on her.

Yes, agreed. Saved the troops a lot of indigestion.

Sexist stunt anyway. They should be alternating Mothers and Fathers Days. That way the women can celebrate her non-appearance one year and the men another.
