This feckless woman screwup isn't good news for missus clinton, (a feckless (woman?) screwup in her own right)....

Hey Lauer ... there was a reason why the Dems hid Gramma Nancy a month before the November election .. they were afraid she would say and do something stupid
Now that she's speaker of the house .. they can't hide her like before
Did anyone else happen to hear George Nory interview Bridget Gabrielle on her book, “Because They Hate Us” last night? Very chilling. We Infidels had better wake up, if it is still not too late! Pelosi played right into the Muslim’s hands.
I’m tellin’ youse guys...Ms. Nancy is not smart...she is stupid; stupid in the not intelligent type of stupid. She is going to do more damage to the democrat party then all the Republicans and conservatives combined. She has screwed up continously since assuming “power”.
It’s fun to watch.
Pelosi is like many liberals who firmly believe that they’re much smarter than they actually are.
Matt will probably be “re-educated” over the weekend.
I don't know if she wares a scarf to Mass or not, do you?
I've lost count of how many times she's told us that she is the first woman Speaker of the House; she broke the glass ceiling; and most of all, she is the most powerful woman in the world.
IMO she's delusional enough to think she should be the first woman president. So far at least she hasn't pointed out that she didn't have to get to where she is now by riding on her husband's coattails.
I would sooo enjoy the coming show except for the terrible danger it's putting our troops and our country in.
Pelosi is the Speaker of the House and leading an official congressional mission. I think that qualifies as the business of the US.
Historically, Americans aren't expected to bow to foreign royalty because we simply don't do it. At one time, such was expected. Similarly, we don't dip our flag to the host nation at the Olympics, although I believe all other nations do.

Quite sure Mrs. Pelosi does not wear scarves to attend Mass, no mantillas, hats or other types of head coverings either, except perhaps as a fashion statement if it fits with her wardrobe.
Does it make a difference that the mosque Pelosi visited housed the tomb of John the Baptist?
Do you think getting all worked up about a scarf obscures and trivializes the bigger issues, particularly when the First Lady and Sec of State have set a precedent?
IMHO, when we make a fuss about the little stuff, it makes us look petty, and when we look petty, we lose elections.
Don’t let yourself get all worked up now,
I gave an impression based on a photo, what’s the line? a picture is worth a 1000 words?
I also think that Western women don’t need to kow tow to the worst tendencies of muslim cultures which is what the headscarf issue is all about.
First Lady Laura Bush and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice have no need to feel that not wearing a head covering is somehow tantamount to showing disrespect to a muslim.
Both ladies ought to be PROUD of their OWN culture, their OWN backgrounds, and their OWN method of dress. They represent Americans just as much as the foreigners they meet represent their own cultures. As such, I’d rather they dress as they would for ALL Americans, and not act like somehow American dress is deficient somehow and needs or requires some head covering, when in fact Our styles don’t call for women to cover their heads, except if they damn well please.
In my opinion which is not important to anyone but me, neither one of those fine ladies should have worn scarves for any reason for any foreign men. It implies that Western women somehow need to cover their heads when addressing foreign men. ICK. ICK. ICK.
If you think getting all worked up over a scarf is petty, well, that’s your opinion, but it goes deeper than that.
I think Our First Lady and Our Secretary of State have nothing to feel ashamed of if they tour the whole world and meet all kinds of foreigners and don’t cover their heads, except if a pretty headcovering/hat/scarf fits in with their beautiful wardrobe of the day.
I forgot to address the issue of the tomb of St. John the Baptist.
If Nancy Pelosi doesn’t wear a headcovering when in a Catholic Church to show respect for the True Presence, certainly why would she turn around and wear a headcovering because of being in the presence of the relics of a saint?
Catholics are always being accused of worshiping saints and that is a prime example of why that kind of charge would be leveled against a Catholic: Wearing a headcovering while doing a photo op in front of the reliquary of a saint in a once Catholic building, now in the hands of muslims, and yet not showing proper reverence to Our Lord when supposedly worshiping in a Catholic Church. go figure.
I wouldn’t even want to get into that kind of a conversation.
You’ve raised good points Lucysmom, it’s been fun discussing them with you, thanx.
No kidding, even the CA democrats are throwing her down......Big Time. Also, my liberal neighbor said "I guess we're not ready for a woman president" She related this stunt more to a "woman thing" instead of liberal ignorance.
It's too late.

... While America appears not to be ready for a female president under any circumstances, the post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a female presidential candidate. Add to these the problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews make the mistake of focusing on the problems of the generic female presidential candidate running during ordinary times.
hurdle for any female presidential candidate, and especially missus clinton, historically antimilitary--(an image, incidentally, that is only enhanced today by her 
president as a construct would still be viable... missus clinton's obstacles would be limited largely to standard-issue clintonisms: corruption, abuse, malpractice, malfeasance, megalomania, rape and treason... and, in spite of
