Well, except for those who work for some of Queen NancyÂ’s major corporate constituents.

. House Republicans yesterday declared "something fishy" about the major tuna company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district being exempted from the minimum-wage increase that Democrats approved this week.

"I am shocked," said Rep. Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican and his party's chief deputy whip, noting that Mrs. Pelosi campaigned heavily on promises of honest government. "Now we find out that she is exempting hometown companies from minimum wage. This is exactly the hypocrisy and double talk that we have come to expect from the Democrats."

On Wednesday, the House voted to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour.

I guess that some workers just don’t need a “living wage” if it might impact the bottom line of the fat cats from a certain San Francisco congressional district. Right, Madam Speaker?

UPDATE: Guess whose husband has a $17 million dollar stake in one of the companies benefitting from this exemption? The new Speaker of the House, Queen Nancy Pelosi!
