St. Nancy. A Friday Funny. Pelosi and the Cardinal. Oh, my.

It's week's end, Folks. And, it's time for a Funny.

But, after reading this,  you might think of it as being too accurate to be funny.

The story goes like this (hey, that's better than once upon a time...): 

 One Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D.C., an aide to Congresswoman
 Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic cathedral in D.C.
 He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending the next
 day's Mass, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi
 to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling
 Pelosi a saint.

 The Cardinal replied, "No. I don't really like the woman, and there
 are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over certain of
 Pelosi's views."

 Pelosi's aide then said, "Look, I'll write a check here and now for a
 donation of $500,000 to your church if you'll just tell the
 congregation you see Pelosi as a saint."

 The Cardinal thought about it and said, "Well, the church can use the
 money, so I'll work your request into tomorrow's sermon."

 As Pelosi's aide promised, Nancy Pelosi appeared for the Sunday
 worship and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the
 center aisle. As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal
 pointed out that Pelosi was present.

 The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, "While Nancy
 Pelosi's presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not
 numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most
 egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to
 flip- flop on many other issues. Nancy Pelosi is a petty,
 self-absorbed hypocrite & a nit-wit.

 Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat and a thief. I must say,
 Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally
 witnessed. She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the
 American people. She also has a reputation for shirking her
 Representative obligations both in Washington and in California.
 The woman is simply not to be trusted."
 
 The Cardinal concluded, "But, when compared with President Obama,
  Nancy Pelosi is a saint."

Have a good weekend. And, keep laughing. Monday isn't that far away.
