Washington (CNN) — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke for a little more than eight hours to oppose the budget deal to lift spending caps and avert a government shutdown -- because the plan does not address immigration issues.
The House Historian's office told CNN that Pelosi's speech is the longest on record on the House floor, according to their records.
Pelosi started speaking shortly after 10 a.m. ET, and wrapped the speech a little after 6:10 p.m. ET.
"I have had the privilege of reading the testimony from Dreamers, I still have more," she said, receiving applause in the chamber. "I thank all of you."
A source close to the California Democrat told CNN she thought of the idea overnight to speak for hours on the House floor. The source said she was wearing four-inch-heels while delivering the speech and only sipped water.

A bluetooth jammer would have ended it.
Sorta like staring at the TV test pattern back in the day...
The smell of urine and cabbage was strong in the House!
The democrat party is the party of illegal aliens.
Bat. Crap. CrAzY.
Stilettos and Depends—what a combination.
Nope, the left does not want these types in the country. They are smart, hard working and law abiding. That means if they get into the US they just might vote conservative. Can’t have that !
A speech for the ages... or aged. Sorry I wasn’t there to hear her drone on and on.
Oh I thought about that right away. No way could she 'stand' as that long taking something....let alone sit.
And this waste of time accomplished exactly WHAT !!
In the history of the world have SO MANY been SO BORED for SOOO... LONG. And yet, she still lives...
without having legal permission to live there.....
(is 'illegal'...she's a dimwit!)
“...he didn’t do it like Nancy does...”
Now THAT strikes terror in my heart.
“Yeah, at the State of the Union she wasn’t able to stand. Must have been some kind of back injury.”
That was just over a week ago. Amazing recovery and verrrrry interesting!
;^)
It was an audition for a Depends commercial.
I want to know how they replaced the sleeping DemRep in the background to her right, different clips have different people sitting in the background. I would wager there was at least one intermission. There may have been 8 hours of blather, but the media is propping her up to heroic levels, as well buying the lie about the birthday wish.
Good point. I wonder if a Bluetooth jammer is illegal. It would be like Obongo with a broken teleprompter.
OMG! She actually worked an entire 8-hour shift!
She is a glowing endorsement for Depends.
Nanzi at times was babbling at an unnaturally rapid speed, very manic. She was also sniffing constantly. I think she snorted coacaine prior to taking the floor.
