Nancy Pelosi Comes Through--For Friends

From the deck of Washington correspondent Todd J. Gillman for the Dallas Morning News:
It would have been nice to include the entire article from Mr. Gillman. He wrote about how the subject of the article supported all kinds and types of 'big money Dilbert's" from the Democratic Party. Nancy Pelosi took back door paths to get extra help for this guy suffering from a type of cancer for which there is no cure. My brother in law fought it for eight years and made himself a human guniea pig to further the cause for finding a cure. His was to serve humanity. Fred Baron's was to be selfish--or seemingly so. Think and think---how many of us 'peons' would receive the same treatment under government mandated health care? Zippo, my friends,

"Dallas' top Democratic donors will cut big checks to share dinner later this month with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Most will be motivated by a desire to protect the party's congressional majority.

Lisa Blue will have an extra reason: to say thanks for Pelosi's efforts when her husband, Fred Baron, was dying of bone marrow cancer. His only option was an experimental drug whose manufacturer refused to give permission to use it for Baron's condition.

"He was a big fan of hers, and now I am as well," Blue said.

Baron, the "King of Toxic Torts," built a fortune suing on behalf of asbestos victims. He died the week before Election Day 2008 at age 61.
