Pelosi should be IMPEACHED ALSO!!!!
WASHINGTON - House leaders are doing well financially during this economic slump.
Their lucrative investments and, in many cases, well-compensated spouses supplement their House salaries.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, one of the wealthiest members of Congress, and her husband, Paul Pelosi, a real estate magnate, spent between $1 million and $5 million to buy the home they had been living in on San Francisco's Broadway.
Go, Cindy, go!!!!
They also own a vineyard in St. Helena, Calif., worth between $5 million and $25 million and a town house in Norden, Calif., valued between $1 million and $5 million, according to annual financial disclosures released Monday. The Pelosis also took in rental income of as much as $5 million on five separate commercial properties in the San Francisco Bay area. As speaker, Pelosi's salary is $212,100, about $47,000 higher than virtually everyone else in the House.
Yeah, Pelosi can REALLY IDENTIFY with you, 'murka!
All while she is STEALING YOUR MONEY!!!
She is DERELICT in her DUTY, folks, and should be IMPEACHED HERSELF!!!!

WASHINGTON - Six of the 10 House members from Massachusetts are landlords who made thousands of dollars last year on rental properties, according to financial disclosure reports released yesterday.
The 2007 filings by lawmakers offer a glimpse into their personal finances, including assets, gifts, income, and trips paid for by private groups. Lawmakers are not required to list exact figures on most disclosure report categories, only a broad dollar range.
Representatives Michael E. Capuano, Stephen F. Lynch, James P. McGovern, John W. Olver, John F. Tierney, and Niki Tsongas reported rental income in addition to their $165,200 congressional salaries.
Heyyyyyy! That one is MINE!!!!!!!

"Olver told the lawyers that he wasn't going for impeachment because, "the United States would soon attack Iran, and that these hostilities would be followed by the imposition of a martial law regime here.""
Yeah, thanks for the COURAGE, asshole!
The state delegation's newest member, Tsongas, got between $15,001 and $50,000 rent for a house in Chatham on Cape Cod. The property was valued between $1 million and $5 million.
Tsongas and her late husband, Paul, a former US senator, bought the house in 1984. It has been rented during the summer most years, Tsongas spokesman John Noble said.

Capuano got $9,000 in fees as executor for an uncle's estate and $5,000 as a trustee for an aunt's credit shelter trust.
Two South Boston properties generated between $10,002 and $30,000 in rental income for Lynch, a South Boston native, while a basement rental unit in McGovern's home in the capital generated between $5,001 and $15,000 rental income. The home was valued between $1 million and $5 million.
Olver got between $5,001 and $15,000 in rent for a Boston property, while Tierney's interest in a Salem, Mass., property produced between $5,001 and $15,000 in rental income.
Capuano, Lynch, Olver and McGovern held the rental properties jointly with their spouses, according to the reports.
Other Bay State congressmen reported income from teaching college and from a state pension.
Representative Richard E. Neal was paid $21,000 to teach a government and politics course at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, while Representative William D. Delahunt, a former district attorney who now represents Cape Cod and the South Shore, got $57,444 from a state pension.
