Nancy Pelosi Hands Katy Tur Her Ass

Do you want to see your teeth while you are brushing them? I go to the dentist for teeth cleanings regularly. I have no interest when he tries to use his little mirror, coaxing me to open wider to show me what's going on in my back left molar. "I believe you," I scream.
