Pelosi...SecState?

The below are a series of writings for the misadventures of the current Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Not only did she violate several rules and laws, her spin-meisters are in a lame damage control spin cycle.

Political Capital Down The Toilet
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Syria was the liveliest topic inside the Beltway last week. Three points — one political, one constitutional and one relative to Mrs. Pelosi’s job skills — are pertinent.

Nancy’s Bad Mistake
Today on CNN, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said he “strongly disagrees” with Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) bipartisan delegation to Syria, calling it a “mistake” and “bad for the United States of America.”

Lieberman added, “I say this because we’re in a war. We’re in a war against the Islamic terrorists who attacked us on 9-11-01.” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer responded, “But they had nothing to do with 9-11.” Lieberman dodged the issue and changed topics.

Nancy Tumblinna
It’s not surprising that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, having entered the nether world of Middle East diplomacy, has committed a blunder and made something of a fool of herself. Her critics, however, should not try to use this as ammunition to make her stay out of this arena. Instead, the Speaker should pick herself up, dust herself off and try again.

LetTheSpinCycleBegin!! LOL!!
Taking its cues from those who should be totally discredited, and set out to pasture for misleading us into this disastrous war, major media outlets like Meet the Press, (April CNN and The Washington Post (”Pratfall in Damascus,” April 5) have lambasted Pelosi for her “irresponsible” trip and for her “incompetence”–instead of suggesting that maybe we have a sane political leader who, at long last, understands that we need to maintain dialogue even with those we see as our enemies or “foes.”
