I want to call your attention to the excuse given by the central figure in Prevarigate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for avoiding answering questions about her involvement in approving Enhanced Interrogation Techniques and then trying to lie her way out of the situation.
One source said Pelosi (D-Calif.) will be attending her granddaughter’s first communion in Phoenix on Sunday.
Is that true? Ordinarily, one wouldn’t question something this mundane but for the fact that 1) Pelosi has repeatedly used the Catholic Church as her shield in political arguments, 2) Pelosi’s truthiness problem demands that every statement she utters be fact checked, 3) May 9 is the typical date for First Communion this year and the RC parishes in the Phoenix diocese which have online calendars all show First Communion on May 9, and 4) traditionally we Catholics hold First Communion on Saturday . Now, I’d hate to think that Nancy Pelosi would use the equivalent of “the dog ate my homework” to avoid accountablility but I’m also reluctant to call bull**** on this without verification.
This is the challenge. Which Roman Catholic parishes in the Diocese of Phoenix or the Diocese of Tucson is holding First Communion tomorrow? Can someone get a photo of Nancy Pelosi attending it?

There is a difference between Communion and Confirmation
Thomas Crown (Diary) Saturday, May 16th at 10:22PM EST (link)Not least in that you go back for the former repeatedly, the latter is a unique event.
The link you provided is for Confirmation; it’s in part so the Bishop can keep track of where he’s anointing Catechumens.
Wanna try again?

I've never heard of it being done that way
Next93 (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 1:41AM EST (link)They’re usually years apart; first communion used to be in first or second grade, confirmation in sixth or seventh. These days they’re doing both later, but they’re even farther apart.
This is intentional; children are welcome to become a part of the community as soon as they’re old enough to understand the concept, but confirmation is supposed to be the result of an informed, adult decision to become a full member of the Church. My youngest is getting confirmed tomorrow, she’s 17 and has been taking communion since she was 8 or 9, certainly no more than 10.
Also, I’ve never heard of first communion on a Saturday, it’s almost always during a Sunday mass. My three kids were all confirmed on Sundays, but I think my own confirmation was on a Saturday evening.
BTW, back in my day, confirmation included a ceremonial slap from the Bishop (representative of your willingness to suffer and, if necessary, to die for the faith). My buddy Paul and I hadn’t exactly been on our best behavior during the mass, and when the Bishop got to us, he put a little more English on it than “ceremonial” would warrant.
Obama was The One in 2008.
He’ll be a BIGGER one in 2012.
no, it isn't
streiff (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 6:49AM EST (link)that isn’t the way it is done. First Communion and Confirmation are only at the same Mass at Easter Vigil.

Ok
Beto_Ochoa Sunday, May 17th at 10:11AM EST (link)That’s the way I remember it.
I was a hired musician at a parish for 12 years but I only remember it being a big deal at Easter.
you know there is a huge difference
streiff (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 6:47AM EST (link)between Confirmation and First Communion, right?

05/17/09 Sun 09:00:00 St. Martin de Porres Phoenix
05/17/09 Sun 12:30 p.m. St. Timothy Mesa
05/17/09 Sun 18:00:00 St. Jerome Phoenix

a LIAR tells an occasional truth so they can fool themselves as well as others
JLenardDetroit (Diary) Saturday, May 16th at 10:29PM EST (link)or so they think…. and unfortunately, when it comes to Liberals/Democrats they are right…. because they are all Liars looking to fool themselves as well….
They simply lack any ability to look in a mirror and see what is there, they can and will convince themselves of anything that is most convenient for them and reality be damned.

There was Confirmation in Scottsdale today.
mbecker908 (Diary) Saturday, May 16th at 11:42PM EST (link)If I had to guess, I’d guess that was the one and they mushed the date to keep “us” away. Of the five, two are in Mesa and are not probable candidates since her son-in-law apparently lives in Scottsdale. Two of them would be immediately crossed off the list because a well stretched, pasty white bitch with a secret service detail would stand out more than a tad. And the Secret Service detail would likely be a little distracting. The one downtown is also a stretch.
My vote is phony press…

Amy Miller (Diary) Saturday, May 16th at 10:36PM EST (link)Here we are again, being subjected to the D’s “please think of the children” evasive action. It doesn’t answer the question at all. What it does is throw the MSM a bone in the form of another way to make the R’s/conservative base look like jerks because here we are PERSECUTING this poor lady on the eve of a child’s first communion!

If Pelosi WASN'T in hot water for her lies
Common_Cents (Diary) Sunday, May 17th at 3:49PM EST (link)and she was invited on the talk shows for carrying some Obama water would we have heard about her declining to go to a first communion?
We’d hear about doing her duty for the people and children of America and the personal sacrifice of missing her own granddaughters first communion for love of her country.

When was the last time she told the truth?
smorgasbord Sunday, May 17th at 4:03PM EST (link)You have to put this in perspective. LIBERALS LIE. That is all they know. It’s like gambling, smoking, drugs, etc. You can’t get hooked on them if you don’t start. Nancy knows this, so she avoids telling the truth for the first time so she won’t get addicted to it. Think what would happen if she and other liberals started telling the truth.
George Bush told the truth. The war was right. Sodom Hussein had WMD. I approved waterboarding. Obama wants to be king, and I want to be his queen. Joe Biden doesn’t have a working brain.
