Washington?In what can only be described as ?having cajones the size of wrecking balls,? Nancy Pelosi is leading the charge to take up the cost of living raise after the recess. The move comes in the midst of an economy in crisis, sending a message that even some in the House of Representatives could face a dangerous future.

Despite taking their recess on Thursday, October 2, 2008, Congress will continue to stay at the helm to help resolve the financial crisis and its icy grip on America.

?We?ve worked very hard for the American people and have given practically everyone across the country a raise as well as some stimulus,? claimed Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV. Damn it, it?s about time we get some, too.?

?This financial crisis is just one example of what we?re willing to do in the U.S. Senate,? quipped Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL.

?It?s getting really expensive to eat in our dining facility,? cried Sen. Chris Dodd, D-CT. ?If you bring the whole family, it really adds up. All we want is a little security.?

?Typical Americans can see the price of gas going up. But most of them have no idea at the cost of jet fuel,? whined Rep. Barney Frank, D-MA. ?Our personal bills have gone up, and we need to offset these costs.?

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who is spearheading the charge, mentioned, ?I have my own Executive Model C-32 that can cost as much as $22,000 an hour to operate. Despite the high price of chicken feed, that ain?t chicken feed. It ain?t easy being a U.S. Senator.?

?We?re here to work for the American people,? exclaimed Rep. Carles Rangel, D-N.Y. ?I can barely afford to pay my income taxes. It?s tough out there.?

?Joe Biden is correct,? laughed Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL. ?Paying more taxes is patriotic, and Congress needs your support.?



Enjoy. Some of the best material of this election cycle!
