[Puzzleman]

HOUSE SPEAKER Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) offered an excellent demonstration yesterday of why members of Congress should not attempt to supplant the secretary of state when traveling abroad...

[rod1]

If it has not already been done, somebody needs to come up with a calendar of classic RAT photo-op moments.

They might include such things as:
Dukakis in the tank, Carter and Harvey his bunny, Kerry in a bunny suit, Kennedy and the neck brace, Patches in a car, Easter at the Kennedy Palm Spring Compound, the Clinton’s WH XMAS tree complete with condom ornaments (Ok somebody got a pix of that please), Pelosi and the hair scarf, AL Franken assaulting/puching the protester, Dean in full “Yeaow” mode, The unattentive Hillary, Red-faced finger-pointing Bubba, Albright toasting dictators, Sandy sporting his baggy pants waslking briskjly anywhere, the DE senator giving his plargerized speech, Richardson at the UN (talking to Mionica) or visiting Los Alamos, Bubba with Ms. Marc Rich, Schumer in full camera-sprint with bodies flying, Sharpton and Brawley, Jesse and his on the payroll of a tax exempt organization-mistress, any NJ RAT gov. or senator with almost anyone including contributors, payroll mistresses, male lover ont he payroll, etc. (their all crooks). Mario Cuomo on the air with his (so successful) radio show. Bubba with Mario Cuomo with his tape-recorded mafia quote below it.

Well obviously there is enough to carry us easliy into the next millineum.

Perhaps but if that does occur you can bet that the rest of the MSM will be screaming bloody murder about it and ignore what Pelosi did.

[ImpBill]

"Two weeks ago Ms. Pelosi rammed legislation through the House of Representatives that would strip Mr. Bush of his authority as commander in chief to manage troop movements in Iraq. Now she is attempting to introduce a new Middle East policy that directly conflicts with that of the president. We have found much to criticize in Mr. Bush's military strategy and regional diplomacy. But Ms. Pelosi's attempt to establish a shadow presidency is not only counterproductive, it is foolish."

Not to mention that it violates the Constitution.

WHAM! The post really laid it on her, didn’t it? Nancy certainly entertains visions of grandeur. I wonder how’s she’s feeling about looking like such a fool?

[mainepatsfan]

The RNC should have more than enough material from this trip to pound Dem congressional candidates next year. Whether or not they’ll actually use it is sadly another question.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Not going to get any arguments from this woman. This is also a reason why women should not be pastors. I know a lot of very good women legislators but in general, I agree with you.

[Mr.Unique]

Pelosi was quoted as saying, "The jooos set me up the bomb."

*Not really.

Additionally, Miss Pelosi, in her naivette, has endangered the US and many countries. She has behaved as a bull in a China shop. Democrats continue to assert they come in “peace” when in fact they create more strife and wars than they ever resolve.

[Lurking in Kansas]

Never mind that that statement is ludicrous: As any diplomat with knowledge of the region could have told Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Assad is a corrupt thug whose overriding priority at the moment is not peace with Israel but heading off U.N. charges that he orchestrated the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri.

The really striking development here is the attempt by a Democratic congressional leader to substitute her own foreign policy for that of a sitting Republican president.

Can you say smack down?

[cbkaty]

It’s self-serving...they see the writing on the wall....Payback will no-doubt occur down the road.... She has established a new low.

[Miss Didi]

Great idea, Rod...the only bad thing would be having to look at the Rats (especially the Pantsuit) for a whole month.

[sgtbono2002]

I see your point,but perhaps its better she didnt bother to see the troops. Or they her. Those men have enough without having to look at “Old Bubble-eyes”>

[4yearlurker]

Drudge should read this article. he still has “Pelosi Diplomacy” on the top of his page.

[RushCrush]

Imagine the PO’d phone call from Olmert to Dubya on this one. Dubya then says ‘don’t yell at me, that is one crazy *itch’

Ok, fess up. Who hacked the WP website and posted this editorial?

This is a surprisingly harsh editorial. Is this Team Hillary sending Pelosi a message via the WP?

[Proudcongal]

Pelosi is way in over her head. Her corruption and incompetence are very dangerous for the U.S. At the very least, she should be ashamed and leave the region immediately. She was warned and now she’s making a fool of herself.

[F.J. Mitchell]

“But Ms Pelosi’s attempt to establish a shadow Presidency is not only counter productive, it is foolish.” No, it is stupid.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Funny. Every time I saw that picture of her in the hajib, the picture of her flexing he muscles popped into my mind.

I wonder if she scrubbed some floors and washed some dishes as part of her diplomacy.

[bmwcyle]

LOL

[Proudcongal]

I don’t think Nancy dares to ever call the president or any Republican for that matter “incompetent” again.
