Madam of the House:

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that a proposed Islamic center in New York City was a local issue and that she supports an investigation into how the opposition is being funded.

Pelosi told local reporters on Tuesday that the decision over whether to proceed with building an Islamic center, which includes a mosque, near the site of the 9/11 attacks should be left up to the local community.

“I think everyone respects the right of people in our country to express their religious beliefs on their property,” she told KCBS radio in San Francisco. “The decision, though, as to how to go forward in New York is up to New York.”

The Speaker also questioned what was motivating the political opposition to the mosque, suspecting that the issue might be being “ginned up” to help Republican candidates.

“There’s no question that there’s a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some,” she said. “And I join those who have called for looking into how … this opposition to the mosque [is] being funded.”

Well let me save you the trouble. I’ve sent checks of support to two organizations that oppose the building of the mosque.

Of course Pelosi wouldn’t think of opening an investigation into who is actually funding this mosque.

I’ve got an idea though. Once Pelosi is out of the Speakers chair how about the new GOP congress investigate her about some real shady dealing she’s been involved in. Michelle Malkin with more on that.
