The leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, toured Jerusalem holy sites Saturday alongside a congressional delegation that included Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress.

The tour was part of the congressional delegation's first full day in Jerusalem, the first stop on their fact-finding trip to the Middle East. The group arrived Friday.

Flanked by security guards, Pelosi and the delegation toured the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where Christians believe Jesus' body was buried, in Jerusalem's Old City. They also visited the Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism, where Jews have gathered for centuries to pray.

THE THREE STOOGES

[FormerACLUmember]

Ellison, architect of the "Flying Imans" staged lawsuit, is on his way to Syria for instructions from one of his bosses.

[Doc Hunter]

I want to know how she and Ellison got over to the mideast. I suspect us foolish taxpayers footed the bill. And her regency from courtesy of the 89th MAW out of Bolling

[JennysCool]

The sites are a little less holy, now.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Pelosi's appearance is for "show" only. Talk about an American hypocrite on parade.

[loreldan]

If Israel was like Syria they would arrest her for spying. When she goes to Syria it'll be like visiting an old friend.

[LibFreeOrDie]

She should end her trip in Iran, and offer herself as replacement for the kidnapped British sailors.

She'll be wearing her Prada burka....

I do not recall, I could be wrong of course, Speaker Hastert, and those before him, making all these type trips...who the hell does she think she is, PRESIDENT Pelosi??

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Monsters on Tour !

[tina07]

ain't that the truth!

If it were up to most of the dems Israel would have been given to islamofacists decades ago.

There is no love or loyalty to Israel or Jews with libs.
It represents a belief in God which the dems Marxists ancestry can not/will not accept.

I don't remember either and I e-mailed her asking her when she was elected CinC. But visiting Syria is a whole 'nother matter on top of that! That b*st*rd Assad is killing our guys in Iraq and she's going to meet with him? The woman is an insane traitor, or a traitorous madwoman, I'm not sure which.

[ClaireSolt]

Tourists. How embarassing. Sure undermines any notion of expertise or seriousness. I dreamed this morning that Israelis booed her.

Now, how do they get to Syria? Used to be you couldn't go from Israel to any neighboring country.

Anybody here know Land mark legal foundation.She is the speaker of the House her duties are pertaining to committees in the house of representatives. Not to make policy for the US government.Only the President deals with the treaties and the other diplomats of other countries. From what I understand, she should not even be over there and since when does congress get to fly over there on our tab.I think that land mark legal should look into what the duties of thr speaker are and if she over steps her bounds she should be brought to task buy us the taxpayers.She should be sued by the us taxpayer for her actions. Maybe this could work , maybe not, but at least we could try to put her and her fly by nighters we don't want your carbon footprints on our land.

"If it were up to most of the dems Israel would have been given to islamofacists decades ago."

To be fair, if it were up to many Israelis, most of Israel would be given to the Islamo-crazies. Then the rest of it would soon fall to the likes of Hamas, Hizbollah, and all of the rest of the Arab/Muslim psychos over there.

Syria will make an exception for them. This is a huge PR coup in the terrorist world.

[ab01]

That would be Andrews AFB

[Continental Soldier]

If Pelosi were to be kidnapped by terrorists, would we really want her back????

[tina07]

traitor and traitorous madwoman. All these democrats are power hungry insane traitors, hopefully it will be their big downfall in '08.
