A mirror image of Nancy Pelosi's official photo.

Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from the January 2007 to January 2011; she has continued as the House Minority Leader and another in a long list of liberal boogey(wo)men. She is a Catholic Democrat from San Francisco, representing the district that encompasses the city, and you know what that means.

She self-describes as a "liberal Democrat" and has a generally left-leaning voting record. The ever-trustworthy National Journal has given her liberal scores of 86, 90, 92.3, and 83 for the 108th, 109th, 110th, and 111th Congresses respectively.[1] She has been specifically singled out by the principled conservative opposition for her spreading of San Francisco Values. While she does have a highly favorable rating from the Human Rights Campaign (along with 176 other politicians[2]), she has no record of pursuing social causes of any kind, let alone gay issues.

[edit] Conservative sex symbol

In 2013 an image of a "Miss Lube Rack of 1959" supposedly resembling Pelosi was spread around the Internet in "a bit of political tomfoolery."[3] Despite the fact Pelosi would have only been 11 at the time it was taken, it makes you wonder why wingnuts were so... adamant to find a picture of her in her twenties.
