Say what you want about Nancy Pelosi, but Drudge is right, she looks great
Drudge ran a headline this morning noting how great Nancy Pelosi looks for a 70 year old.
We don’t think she’s a good Speaker of the House. We believe she might actually be a criminal, in that she knew about the abuses of Congress critters like Eric Massa and Charlie Rangel long before they came to public light — not to mention all the lies she’s told and underhanded games she’s played in her quest to undermine our national intelligence agencies.
We’ve met her in person and she’s rude, dismissive, and aristocratic. She has about a minute’s worth of prepared speech to deliver to a member of the public on about a dozen topics, and after that she seems lost, confused, and more than a little panic-stricken as she frantically blinks some kind of code to her handlers to be moved on to the next person waiting to shake her hand.
But, we need to give credit where credit is due and note how right Drudge is — she does look amazing for 70. To be honest, she looks great for 40.
If we didn’t know how old she was, we’d swear she was in her early 50s, tops.
It’s a real shame she doesn’t take care of the country, and our Constitution, as well as she does herself.
And that she doesn’t share her anti-aging secrets with the rest of us.

That botox may keep her looking good, but that Black Heart can’t last forever.
She lacks the grace that a naturally aged woman has. And she only looks good from a distance. There is a certian dignity people posess when they look their natural age.
She looks great ONLY to a blind man who reads braille, but has had his hands and lips cut off.
Duh!
I look great for my age and none of my secrets involve getting cut. Or botox. or chemicals.
If you all were embalmed, you’d look great too.
That’s EXACTLY how she looks. Her eyes blink, and her lips move – nothing else, and her “pure of heart” gave out long ago. God I hate how long it takes to take down evil, and all the harm they cause in between.
I look great for my age as well, without the aid of Botox; plus I know plenty of women who are more than 60 who look fantastic without the aid of Botox
any woman with the money she has and –wants to– can look as good or even better — most of us have a little more to work with…….
Nancy embalmed?
That explains her heart stored away in a jar somewhere.
haha
“The Chicken Heart” is a classic Lights Out tale. Please don’t tell me Pelosi’s is going to get bigger and bigger til it eats Brooklyn…
Actually, I was thinking of her “Turkey Neck”. That is a telltale sign of plastic surgery, as are the hands. I must agree with y’all, I have known many women in their 70s, 80s, etc who look much better.
Brooklyn? It’s dang near eaten America already!
When she has A+ health care through the government that pays for her face lifts, body tucks and botox sure she looks good. We paid for the wrinkly bitter old hag that still lives underneath the good looks though.
Nancy’s fountain of youth:
She feeds on the life & liberty of her country and its people.
Horrid woman.
Ha! I just posted that remark myself @28. She’s a vampire.
Dorian Grey…I’m just sayin’
..exactly what i wa thinkin!
Lol, somewhere, in someone’s attic, there’s a horrible, ugly, portrait of SanFranNan that needs to be brought to daylight!
I was thing this too.
I meant thinking…..
It would crumble within seconds of exposure to direct light…
yes, the picture of Dorian Gray. It fits perfectly for Piglosi
shame on you she is a sweet woman
Dorian was a guy. (Surely you don’t mean ‘Destroy Freedom Pelosi’?)
just joking I do not like pelosi my wife really give it to me when she seen my post. Said she was going to take my computer off me sorry. lol
She looks great on the outside, heinous on the inside ….. our tax dollars at work.
Ten:
I thought the same thing … she *may* look good for 70, but her insides are darn ugly.
For us believers, that’s the only thing that matters to God — your insides, your soul. B/c when all is said and done, no amount of botox or designer clothing is going to get anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Exactly….very ugly on the inside.
When you $100 million or so plastic surgery is no big deal. The elite class can afford it.
Yep. After her mafia family has pillfered millions, she can bribe herself the best plastic surgury and peel treatments intimidation can buy. I suppose for an old prune stuffed with venom she has a certain air, but then again so does a cobra when its about to sink its fangs into you.
I really don’t care what Nancy looks like. I don’t like her. And I’d do anything within my legal power to get rid of her.
She’s all botoxed and stretched.
She can’t even SMILE properly because her skin is too tight.
She does wear a lot of professional suits and I wish Michelle Obama dressed more like her.
Actually, Pelosi’s wardrobe looks more fitting for a FLOTUS than the tacky monstrosities Michelle O. wears.
that is the truth– give the devil it’s due!!!!
Nancy wears a lot of Chanel suits….they do look good. I don’t think Mechelle can wear Chanel…her ass is to big.
She looks like she’s in her 60′s, not 50′s, especially if you take a close up.
That said, she’s still evil.
she is 70; definitely does not look like a 50 year old.
Pelosi doesn’t look like she’s in her fifties.
More like her sixties.
Women in their fifties look better than that.
I know because I am one of them! My secret:
nightcream and stay out of the sun. No botox or alien skin tucking.
I know a woman who sells skincare products for a living and even she admits the best skincare is to: STAY OUT OF THE SUN.
Ditto that! I’m almost 50 and I hardly have any wrinkles because I use sunscreen and stay out of the sun.
It helps that I have my mom’s asian skin, however.
I am in my mid-50′s and I do not need Botox either. My skin looks good or at least young, and I have often been told I look younger than my age.
I think the secret with aging is to not fight it and to realize as long as you have breath, you have something to contribute to this world. I work around the very young and the very old. Each has their own beauty. Like the seasons of the year, there are seasons to life if we are blessed to enjoy a long and full life.
Some people have good genes when it comes to aging at least of the skin. I’m lucky that both my mother and father both appeared more youthful than they really were. Too much sun, too much alcohol, and smoking are in general contributors to aging of the skin but not in all cases. My father was a farmer (plenty of sun and wind exposure) but did not really start looking old until his final illness when he was about 80. He did not abstain from alcohol but was a moderate drinker and did not smoke. My mother’s skin was almost unwrinkled even into her 70s. I’m almost 62 and have hardly any wrinkles although I have had my fair share of the sun when I was younger and still enjoy working outside. I’m the oldest of my siblings and we all appear much younger than we really are. None of us has had any cosmetic work done because we can’t afford it. However all of us seem to live by the principle of “moderation in all things”.
As to Nancy Pelosi, she does look good for 70 but in this day and age that’s not that exceptional. I see people in my line of work in their 80s and 90s who are active and appear much younger than they are and unlike Nancy, radiate a kind and generous spirit. To me a loving spirit shining through some wrinkles is far more beautiful than a mean, botoxed smooth face.
Sorry guys. I can’t agree that she looks good.
A clever poster over at Lucianne dubbed her, “Our Lady of the Perpetually Surprised.”
An emperious wretch. Blech.
“Our Lady of the Perpetually Surprised.”
ROFLOL!! And when she’s jumping up and down and clapping during the SOTU addresses…”jack in the botox”.
“jack in the botox”.
good one! LOLOL
OLOPS and Jack in the Botox.
Too, too funny.
I have to pass those along.
Thanks for the smile!
The best part of the SOTU addresses(with the sound muted…goes without saying) is watching her and Biden. He gets more and more pissed off as the night goes on, having to stand up every time she does. He gets this “oh Jeez, is she up AGAIN?” look on his face. By the time he gets his butt out of the chair, she’s back down and they’ve moved on.
That’s a good one… while her counterpart in the Senate was swaying like a Reid in the wind…
I agree. And the Lucianne dub suits her well.
She looks like a frightened chihuahua.
Vampire sucking our life blood
When I saw this, I was thinking the same thing. I guess sulking out the blood of beautiful, young virgins has anti-aging effects.
I was thinking more like she was bathing in the blood of virgins every night
NancyPee?!? Bringing zexy back?!?
Complimenting Madame Speaker on her youthful appearance is like complimenting Benito Mussolini on his ‘fabulous scheduling abilities’ as he did make the ‘trains run on time.’
Personally, I find the highly botoxed, cosmetic surgery addicted Democrat Leader to be a perfect metaphor for her party. All fakey imagery.
A beautiful woman in public service in her 70s??? Google Prime Minister Thatcher or Golda Meir. Take a look at the wrinkles of the uber brave Bridget Bardot as she stands up to the creeping Shar’ia of Islam in her beloved France. Substance over style EVERYTIME.
…or complimenting Hitler on his mustache grooming techniques
perfect:
Personally, I find the highly botoxed, cosmetic surgery addicted Democrat Leader to be a perfect metaphor for her party. All fakey imagery.
When you have a rich husband who spends millions on botox and surgery, YEAH LOL.
Ah, yeah, no thanks.
She looks about as attractive as month old jerky.
From a distance — yes, trim, filled with vitality — up close — jeesh — just the eyes alone — scary, scary, scary.
Beauty comes from within.
Pelousy … NOT.
I agree. A few unflattering photos do not a fug make. And I hope the people ripping the piss out of her now are going to be graceful as soon as Boehner becomes Speaker. Because the oposition is going to be brutal and they can always point to the treatment of Pelosi to stifle all dissent.
I don’t Boehner (unless the GOP revert’s to ‘its his turn again) mentality will be the next Speaker.
Honest. Change (real change…not the Barky Unicorn change is coming).
I believe it will be Madam Speaker Bachmann, R of Minnesota. The Speakership is not for the faint of heart…and got the brass ones for the job.
Anyone who gets her degree of plastic surgery has a mental problem… any woman who is that afraid of getting old has major emotional fragilities. Granted, she’s not the Bride of Wildenstein, but she’s close. She’s over stretched to the point her face is in constant surprise and she has literaly no muscle movement under the skin.
Other celebs and public figures catch hell also for that amount of self mutilation. She should too…. she’s a horrible example for anyone on aging in good health and grace.
Add into it her total destruction of our way of life, her open contempt and bigory directed at the ‘average middle American’ and her delusions of grandure in her lifestyle….
The ripping is deserved from any direction.
Oh, KACK! Boyz, I don’t know who you’re comparing Nasty to as a 70 year old woman, but I think she looks AWFUL.
Considering how much she’s spent on cosmetic surgery, she should look WAY better.
If she stopped dying her hair and getting the Botox injections, lost the false eyelashes, etc. etc., she’s look like any other old lady, probably worse, because she only smiles if she’s in front of a camera.
Having an unlimited wardrobe budget helps, too.
She always wears suits that hide a lot of ‘issues’.
Just as a comparison, Tina Turner is 70 and she’s still smokin’.
http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh45/TheWiseVisionary7/THE%20RED%20AND%20BLACK%20ZONE/THETINATURNERMATUREANDOHSOSEXYAWARD.jpg
Just like Andrea Mitchell, I bet the sight of her without makeup, hair styling, Spanx and spackle would scare the daylights out of you.
Remember “Clueless”? She’s a Monet.
YES! I LOVE IT! “She’s a full on monet, beautiful from afar, but a disaster up close.”
Don’t forget the $8500 pearl necklaces to make you look good!
http://www.thepearloutlet.com/roi/490/Tahitian-Pearls/Pelosi-Pearl-Necklace-PPN-01AAA.htm
You can get pearl necklaces much cheaper here in Chicago.
Free with admission to Man’s Country, in fact.
Just ask Rahm and Obama.
EWWWW
Seconded.
Well, I guess that explains why she wears them. Thanks, Hillbuzz.
Now we know why Rahm nuzzled her — it was the necklace that attracted him.
Did Obama really go to Man’s Country? Or was that a joke?
From what I hear, he was on the down low.
Not quite the same guys.
Shame on you.
my not so expensive pearl necklace was purchased in Madrid. They make really nice pearls over there.
Mine too, in the factory shop in Toledo.
I’m sure Elizabeth Bathery looked good also.
She looks like she belongs on “Awful Plastic Surgery”…
Sorry, but I know plenty of uncut-waxed-stretched-toxed-steamed 60, 70, 80 year olds who look better.
Wasn’t Elizabeth the countess that believed the blood of young maidens would keep her young?
Exactly— ‘cept our Bathery believes the blood of the Republic will keep her young.
indeed she was. Reincarnation?
I suspect that in one of her attics she has a magic portrait of herself in which she looks as old as the ages and which when …
Let me not finish that sentence; if you know something about Dorian Gray you can complete the thought yourselves.
See reply #5. Great minds think alike
yes all great minds think alike on here
Too right about the picture of Dorian Gray. It is Pelosi to a T
Yes, after posting I saw that young-old Dorian had occured to others as well …
Like him I suspect that Pelosi also knows her way around the iniquities of the underworld …
Didn’t Wilde say somewhere that “a map of the world that does not contain Utopia is not worth even glancing at”?
Sorry, I don’t think older women need to have tight skin to be beautiful.
I know a woman in her eighties who was always a hottie when young and has now aged. She looks good for her age but has the usual wrinkles and sags that a woman of 70 or 80 might have.
Her sons offered to pay for a facelift if she wanted one, but she TURNED THEM DOWN.
She did not want to look unnatural or alien.
P 311 a dangerous new element.
Discovery Announcement ~ The densest element in the known Universe has been found!
Pelosium:
A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named Pelosium. Pelosium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311.
These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
The symbol of Pelosium is PU.
Pelosium’s mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons within the Pelosium molecule, leading to the formation of isodopes.
This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientist to believe that Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as Critical Morass.
When catalyzed with money, Pelosium activates CNNadnausium, an element that radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise, since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons as Pelosium.
(Applause)…
I knew there was reason I checked back in. Well done
More applause!
That was fantastic! Thanks. I hope you don’t mind if I email it to some friends.
‘The symbol of Pelosium is PU.’
Exquisite!!!
Thanks…I’m saving this for future use.
Note to self: Do not read HillBuzz with a mouth full of liquid. ROFLOL!!!
Perfect – ROFL
That was awesome – thanks!
I was listening to NPR last night & they were interviewing some guy who just wrote a book about Pelosi. He was talking about how Boehner made such a great speech on the night healthcare was voted on. Nancy followed him & was stammering , blinking & swaying. The author’s comment was that oratory is not her strong suit, that she was better at the back-room dealing like Rahm Emanuel.
I don’t think history will be kind to her.
Susan
And of course given its place in the Periodic Table, it is supremely radioactive — given even brief exposure, it will take much more than Obamacare to save you.
Thank you all for the kind words. Actually I received this as an email from a friend. So since the topic was SanFraNan, I thought I would post it here. Enjoy!
A wise sage once said “If you can’t say anything nice about someone, tell them they have nice elbows.”
Below-C looks 55-ish, but that’s the miracle of cosmetic diddling. Look at her elbows for the real age, 55 twice, at least.
http://jimwalterpix.typepad.com
Nobody has mentioned this yet, but were you aware that Pelosi’s husband is her dresser? He seriously shops for and picks out all her clothing and outfits.
Hillbuzz, what do you think of a guy with that kind of interest? Gaydar reading?
in that case he should be hired to pick clothing for FLOTUS… because he has good taste in clothing
If she’s booted out of Congress, she can always headline at one of the revues in North Beach.
The Bible says that Satan, the ultimate deceiver, is beautiful, too.
And that he uses people and is able to change his form.
(I don’t mean to imply anything here.)
Perhaps like Dorian Gray, she has a portrait of herself in the attic which becomes more and more ugly with each ugly word and action she commits.
On the other hand, I am kicking 60, have never smoked, stay away from hard liquor (wine and beer OK) and the sun, and am often taken for my early 40′s
She’s stylish, but you are making obeisance to plastic surgery, and too much plastic surgery at that. It has given her face an alarming grimacing-skull, wild-eyed look. But mid-section liposuction you can at least cover with a smashing pantsuit. And she does have a lovely wardrobe of suits and colorful sportswear, and some quality scarves.
Her anti-aging secret is sucking the productivity & freedom away from future generations of Americans.
Ok, isn’t one of the key benefits in the benefits plan of selling your soul to the devil staying young forever? Duh.
you’re giving her too much credit. Get a close up and you’ll see she looks 75.
Do you think Pelosi will be in the next Twilight movie?
I mean, she’s sucked enough blood to qualify, hasn’t she?
Maybe as one of the Volturi? Definitely not one of the Cullens…
She looks good. So good that we should give her a great opportunity to show the public how good she looks.
TV coverage of her trial would be an excellent venue.
Hillbuzz, I love your readers! Nancy Pelosi, not so much, or her “shriveled, black heart”. She, along with a few others are poison in the bloodstream of America. Thick, black, bitter poison.

Healthcare Reform Law: Timeline for Small Business
The new healthcare reform law will be implemented over much of the next decade. From 2010 to 2013, changes largely involve new taxes, fees and mandates on individuals and small business. Most healthcare system changes begin in 2014 and later years. This document presents a timeline of some major provisions.
2010
�� Small business tax credit: A temporary small business tax credit is available for some firms who provide qualified health coverage. However, the credit puts small business owners through a series of complicated tests to determine the actual amount of the credit. (1) Very few small firms will receive the full credit (only firms with 10 employees or less). For firms with 11-25 employees, the credit is reduced per employee. Firms with more than 25 employees get NO credit. (2) Only firms who pay their workers an average of $25,000 or less are eligible for the full credit. The credit is reduced as the average wage goes up, stopping when it reaches $50,000. (3) Only firms covering 50% or more of insurance costs will be eligible. (4) The credit is only available for a maximum of six years. There are additional provisions for start-up firms beginning business after the enactment of this law.
�� Age 26: Children may stay on their parents’ policies until age 26.
�� Tanning salon tax: A 10% excise tax on indoor tanning services begins July 1.
�� Economic substance doctrine: The bill alters long-standing judicial doctrine in ways that could reduce tax-planning options and increase litigation.
2011
�� W-2 reporting: Employers will be required to report employees’ health benefits on W-2s.
�� Brand-name drug tax: Manufacturers and importers of brand-name drugs will pay a tax of $2.5 billion in 2011, $3.0 billion per year for 2012 through 2016, $3.5 billion for 2017, $4.2 billion for 2018, and $2.8 billion for 2019 and thereafter.
�� HSA & FSA limits: Consumers are prohibited from using HSA and FSA funds to purchase non-prescribed items, including over-the-counter medication (except insulin).
�� HSA penalty: The penalty for using HSAs for non-qualified purchases increases to 20%.
�� Federally subsidized long-term care: Employers may voluntarily participate in the CLASS long-term care program. Participating firms’ employees will be automatically enrolled and subject to payroll deductions unless they choose to opt out. This program will almost certainly cost the federal government far more than what the payroll deductions will cover. So this entitlement is yet another unfunded liability to add to federal deficits for decades to come.

�� Cafeteria plan safe harbor rules added: Employers will have to meet minimum contribution requirements to receive protection from nondiscrimination requirements under cafeteria plans.
2012
�� 1099 reporting: Businesses will have to send Form 1099s for every business-to- business transaction of $600 or more – a tremendous new paperwork burden for small business.
2013
�� Medical device tax: Manufacturers and importers of certain medical devices will face a 2.3% excise tax.
�� Fewer deductible medical expenses: New limits are placed on the deductibility of medical expenses on individual income tax returns. This provision raises the 7.5% AGI floor on medical expenses deductions to 10%. The AGI floor for those 65 and older (and their spouses) remains at 7.5% through 2016.
�� “Medicare” payroll taxes: The Medicare payroll tax on wages and self-employment income in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 joint) will increase to 2.35% and is not indexed to inflation. This tax marks the first time that funds designated for Medicare will be diverted elsewhere – specifically to pay for the insurance policies of people under the Medicare age. This establishes a precedent for treating this payroll tax as a revenue raiser for other purposes.
�� “Medicare” investment tax: In addition to the payroll tax, there will be a 3.8% tax on investment incomes for higher-income taxpayers (“higher-income” is based on wage and self-employment income plus other factors). Like the payroll tax, these funds are officially designated for Medicare but will be spent elsewhere.
�� FSA limits: Cafeteria plan FSAs will be limited to a maximum of $2,500 (inflation-adjusted after 2013).
2014
�� Small business health insurance tax: An annual fee on health insurance providers will be passed on to consumers. This tax will fall on the vast majority of plans that small businesses purchase, but not on self-insured plans (such as most big business and labor union policies). The fee is $8 billion for 2014, $11.3 billion for 2015 and 2016, $13.9 billion for 2017, $14.3 billion in 2018. For years beginning 2019, the $14.3 billion figure will be adjusted upwards for the growth in medical costs.
�� Health insurance exchanges: Exchanges open to individuals and small businesses with up to 50 employees. (An individual state may opt to increase that number to 100.)
�� Premium credits: The federal government begins subsidizing individuals up to 400% of the federal poverty line – around $88,000 today for a family of four. These credits will subsidize individuals purchasing insurance in exchanges (but not those with traditional employer-sponsored plans).
�� Medicaid eligibility expands: The income level for Medicaid eligibility rises, bringing millions of new people into this federal/state program for lower-income individuals. Initially, the federal government will absorb the entire debt or taxation burden of this expansion, with states facing financial pressure in later years. Combined with a related expansion in CHIP (the Children’s Health Insurance Program), the Medicaid expansion will account for nearly one-half of the total increase in insurance coverage.
�� Medicare cost-cutting: An independent Payment Advisory Board is created to recommend legislation to reduce the growth rate of Medicare costs.

1201 F Street NW * Suite 200 * Washington, DC 20004 * 202-554-9000 * Fax 202-554-0496 * http://www.NFIB.com
�� Benefits package: Federal officials must define an essential benefits package with which all insurance policies must comply. (This provision includes restrictions on cost-sharing. )
�� Individual mandate: Starting in 2014, all U.S. citizens and legal residents must have “qualifying” health coverage or pay penalties. For an individual, the penalty begins in 2014 at the greater of $95 or 1.0% of household income. In 2015, it grows to $325 or 2.0%. In 2016, it reaches $695 or 2.5%. (For families, the figure will be $2,085.) After 2016, the amount will rise by a cost-of-living adjustment.
�� Employer mandate: The bill contains a complex employer mandate requiring some firms to provide insurance, pay penalties or both. The penalties are based on (1) the number of full-time (or part-timers counted as full-time equivalent) employees, (2) whether or not the firm offers coverage, and (3) whether or not one or more employees qualify for government subsidies toward the purchase of health insurance. An employee qualifies for a subsidy if his or her household income is below 400% of the federal poverty line ($88,000 for a family of four today). Here are some of the rules:
o More than 50 full-time employees. Does not offer insurance. One or more employees receiving premium subsidies. Penalty = $2,000 per full-time employee (minus the first 30 employees).
o More than 50 full-time employees. Offers insurance. One or more employees receiving premium subsidies. Penalty = lesser of $3,000 per subsidized employee or $2,000 per full-time employee (minus the first 30 employees).
o More than 50 full-time employees. Offers insurance. Has no employees receiving premium subsidies. No penalty on employer.
o 50 or fewer full-time employees. No penalty.
o If an employee’s household income is below 400% of the federal poverty line and his or her insurance premium falls between 8% and 9.8% of household income, the employer must offer the employee a voucher (equal to the amount the employer contributes toward an employee’s premium) to purchase insurance in the exchange. An employee meeting these characteristics will not trigger the employer penalties.
o Part-time employees’ hours will be converted into full-time equivalents for purposes of these calculations. For example, if 6 employees each work 5 hours per week, they will count as if the firm had one additional full-time employee (calculated monthly).
o Employers with more than 200 employees will be required to auto-enroll employees into the employer’s health plans, though the employee may opt out.
o There are extra penalties for firms who have a waiting period of more than 90 days before employees are eligible for insurance.
2018
�� Cadillac tax: The government will collect a so-called “Cadillac Tax” – a 40% excise tax on health coverage in excess of $10,200 annually for an individual or $27,500 annually per family. The threshold amounts are higher (by $1,650 for individuals, $3,450 for families) for certain retirees over 55 and for employees in high-risk professions. The threshold amounts may be increased in response to higher medical costs prior to 2018 and for firms that have higher costs due to the age and gender of their employees. This tax is indexed for general inflation (not healthcare costs), so as healthcare costs rise, more and more people will be swept into this tax each year.

Rats, I posted this on the wrong thread. Should I re-post there? Is it valuable for any?
Yes, it was valuable for me, but I have the info now. Thanks!
In 2008, my friend went to a fundraiser where she spoke, and her face was also broadcast on a giant screen behind her. My friend said it was horrifying. Also, she said that Pelosi didn’t make any sense – the whole speech – saying disconnected nonsense stuff. Also horrifying!
That’s what happens when you inject poison in your body.
Oh, my God! I love it, “horrifying.” That’s the perfect description! LOL!! Has your friend recovered from the trauma? She does remind me of Professor Irwin Corey when she speaks…only he was supposed to be nonsensical.
Blinky looks like an evil mannequin.

A wise person once said “If you can’t say something nice about someone, tell them they have nice elbows.”
Below-C looks 55-nice only because of cosmetic diddling. Her real-time age is 55-twice, easily. The truth is in her elbows – the only part of her that tells the truth.

Well, then, my regards to Alice Roosevelt. Had I known it was she who said it first, I would have given her credit. (Hey, at least I didn’t try to claim that as a product of my own wit.)
Wonder how much she pays the political papparatzi to use cheese cloth over their lenses?
I love that pant suit, Hillary Clinton should get one, but I think Hillary is too fiscally Conservative to pay what Pelosi paid for that suit.
I have a friend that worked in Washington for a semester in college and he met her (he’s a hard core liberal too). His only comment is that no, “I would NOT hit it.”

Pelosi reminds me of a MUCH OLDER version of Heidi Montag, the Hills reality star. She got 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day. She looks horrible!! In the new promo, she can’t even speak properly or cry b/c of the all the work she’s done.
Hey, I’m 44 and I routinely get carded still. I know I don’t look 21, but I’m still quite attractive. But mostly what people notice about me is my giving nature and fun loving spirit. I hope to have beautiful grandkids and live in peace at 70. I don’t care about wrinkles.
First off, SanFran Nan looks artificially enhanced. If she didn’t have medical help to hide her age, she wouldn’t look nearly that good. What’s even more disheartening is how much of a socialist bastard Sarcozy has turned out to be. Never be fooled by Conservatives in Europe because they are friendlier statists in comparison to their labor/liberal compatriots.
This woman isn’t “of the people.” She’s a rich elitist who thinks the rules don’t apply to her. She really thinks that she’ll survive the health care nightmare. I absolutely despise this woman.
She’s a snake. Even snakes can look charming and gentile until you see them up close.
Still think she looks good for her age?

Nancy time to retire and collect social security. You look fake. Bye madame speaker, get the hell out.
Yeah, beat it pinko!
The only thing I admire about Ms Pelosi, is her classic style of dress for her position. She could teach FLOTUS a thing or two.
Yes, she could teach Michelle O the Mess a thing or two.
Every so often I go to sfgate.com otherwise known as San Francisco Chronicle.
News flash to piglosi…she’s not popular in sf.

She is quite popular here. She’s not so popular in the comments section where anyone from anywhere can post. Given that she just delivered “free” health care to San Franciscans, I daresay the only way she gets removed as SotH is if the GOP wins a majority.
I, too, have marveled at how well-preserved she is and like how she dresses. Maybe it’s that sell your soul to the devil thing…
It’s called pickling.
Need not marvel any longer. The BOTOX Lobby has been supplying her with that since it was discovered that it could make the ugly not so ugly. Before that she used Bondo a product used in body shops to fill in dents, and then sand them down. Down is where I expect she will go in November. Even her husband Paul has to sleep with a gun under his pillow to keep unwanted advances. As a favor, I know this is a woman’s blog and all things Hillary would would have been a much better president than the chosen one. Please post it, possibly some of your readers might be open minded enough to take a walk on the “dark side” LOL hey it’s just politics, it’s not like they are destroying the country economically or forcing things down our throats;-) Nice blog by the way, I’m Jim
I can’t imagine being her secretary. Can you imagine? If I were I’d gather evidence and bust her.
Obviously, perpetual youth is what she asked for in exchange for enough satanic power to destroy America.
She bathes in the blood of unborn babes. Is why she supports and encourages abortions.
Just kidding (kinda). It does seem like she made some sort of unholy pact tho… As ugly as she is on the inside she should look like Emperor Palpatine.
I don’t care how she looks; I care what she does–and that I call ugly.
I guess eating small children for breakfast really agrees with her!
She looks ok for 70, but not for any age younger than that. You were being overly kind in your opinion. The close-up shots of her puss will give you a different perspective. She’s a nasty person which makes her ugly in my opinion, and there’s no amount of nipping and tucking that can fix that!
She’s a hag.
I saw Rachael Welch on TV this morning- she has a book out- and she is 70 ( hard to believe!)— she looks totally amazing!! I do not think Pelosi looks that great at all- they just got a good camera angle for once!
I agree!!! Just one decent picture.
I remember a photograph that made Phyllis Diller look gorgeous back in the day.Just like Oprah and Martha magazine pics.
I agree about Raquel, Sophia Loren, Helen Miren etc…. they all look great for their ages AND it looks believable. They may have had surgery, but it’s not obvious. A lot of why the look so great is internal as well as just taking care of themselves.
I think what galls me about saying Nancy looks good is she is one of those rich Dems that has used a bizillion dollars for their every whim…planes, clothes, food, vacations and yes, clearly with Nancy, at least 7 digits in sugery.
And here I (and we) are getting by with clipping coupons, grown our on veges, raising our own egg layers, shopping at Good Will and vacations are visits to relatives out of town. It’s insulting in a way….because now she wants even MORE of my money so she can what? Pull her navel up to her ears???
Ditto to the poster above (faye) who reminded all that it’s easy to look great when you are super rich. Sorry Hillbuzzguys, but I’m not impressed.
Surely you jest! This woman cannot close her eyes at night. And her smile muscles are frozen. A body language expert got lost in the woods the other night, trying to explain her facial expressions as a reaction to a complimentary comment from Diane Sawyer. How can one explain facial expressions that were created by a surgeon?
Rare closeups show sunken eyes, a vast network of wrinkles on face and neck. Most of her photos are taken at a distance.
Does the plastic surgeon at least get to take a bow?
no, she doesn’t look great for 70. What it should be is-She looks great for a 70 year old woman that has a good plastic surgeon and has had tons of it done. She’s been nipped, folded and tucked more than oragami. That is much different from a woman looking great at 70 without plastic surgery to hide the aging process
If you have the money and a good plastic surgeon, ANYONE can look that good no matter what the age. What impresses me are the woman that look incredible for their age without any surgery to make them that way.
Good from far but far from good. Also, when one has an endless supply of $ it’s a lot easier to look great.
If you guys think this socialist grand ma looks great you should take a look at Madelene Bordallo, Guam’s delegate to the US Congress. That woman is a fox at 76 years old!
I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but as a hetero male I must interject here. Nancy Piglosi would cause any self respecting straight guy’s manhood to behave like a frightened turtle or a shrinking violet. Her mane is comprised of snakes and a gaze upon her will turn one into a pillar of stone. Nancy Piglosi is Medusa reincarnated and is begging for a visit from Perseus. http://www.webwinds.com/thalassa/medusa.htm
The Piglosi makes me want to
