She had a lot on her mind then:



"I've had four or five months of people sitting outside my home, going into my garden in San Francisco and angering my neighbors," Pelosi said at a gathering sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

Pelosi added that the squatters have engaged in decidedly non-neighborly behavior like hanging their clothes from the trees; moving in sofas, chairs and other "permanent living facilities"; and, oddly, building a large Buddha on the sidewalk in front of her home. "You can just imagine my neighbors' reactions to all of this," she said. "And if they were poor, and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they'd be arrested for loitering, but because they have 'impeach Bush' across their chest, it's the First Amendment."

I mean, goodness, really, having to live with THOSE people protesting Bush the war criminal. They hadn't even heard about how Paulson's banksters would ruin and throw out on the street MILLIONS more -- and have the U.S. Taxpayer bail them out and pay them a nice bonus in the process.
