We Just Have Different Rules than You Little People...Nancy Pelosi says she is not corrupt ... But she might be crazy or just protests a bit too much

Pelosi fires back at '60 Minutes' report on 'soft corruption' - CNN.com
November 14, 2011 -
CBS said it used as a starting point for its story the research of Peter Schweizer, a fellow at the Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank at Stanford University.
About a year ago, he began work on a book about "soft corruption" in Washington, CBS reported. The network said it had independently verified the material it used.
Pelosi's spokesman criticized the CBS story for failing to note that the "legislation in question was reported out of the Judiciary Committee on October 3, 2008 -- the day the House was consumed in passing TARP and also the last day the House was in session before the November election."
It also failed to note that in September 2008, the House passed the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights, Hammill said.
"In the next Congress, the House and Senate passed and President Obama signed the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights and the Dodd-Frank legislation, which included a stronger, more direct approach to addressing swipe fees," the spokesman said.
In addition to Pelosi, the CBS report took a look at the investments of of Bachus and Boehner.
