She’s a dumb bitch, but is her asking for a raise worse than not asking for a raise, and using her status to make millions? Pelosi doesn’t ask for raises, right?
I agree. She's probably lying though. Politicians make their money on kickbacks and insider info. The official "salary" is just a formality with these guys.
She could be doing the smart spin, claiming that she only lives off of her salary. What about her husband? If she is telling the truth, then she may be in trouble. The "higher ups" don't take kindly to disrespect, and especially, when you turn down money for favors.
