Nancy's Next Stop: Iran?

Well, isn't this special?  Nancy Pelosi is "open" to traveling to Iran to exercise her still-unsuspected skills of international diplomacy.

Mind you, Nancy is not "open" to traveling to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to chat with President Bush about why she's holding up funding for American soldiers in Iraq.  That would lend too much legitimacy to a true enemy. 

In case you hadn't heard, politics no longer stop at the water's edge.  They stop somewhere between the Capitol building and the White House.

But Iran? -- no problem.  Seeing as the Iranian mullahs so deeply share America's respect for international law, human life, human freedom, and peaceful co-existence.

I guess Nancy had better hold onto her hijab. 

After all, nothing says authority, power, and American values better than putting a scarf over your head and an abaya robe to go with it.

Also, Nancy, remember to bring lots of reading material -- just in case Iran decides that an American hostage in the hand is worth more than two Democratic Party leaders in Congress. 

Although if I were Iran, I'd conclude that you can best aid the mullahs by getting back to your work as quickly as possible.

Meet Nacy Pelosi, leader of the new dhimmi-crat party, whose main tenet is pre-emptive obedience. I hope she lives to regret that photograph. All good people should certainly work to make it so.

I thought it was Bush that was holding up funding for the troops...? Isn't he threatening the veto because he doesn't like the conditions placed on it...? Funding troops has been passed BY BOTH HOUSES.

Now, won't that be a unique position for Bush to be in: defying Congress by keeping the troops in Iraq indefinitely, yet actually stopping government money from funding them.

Hmmmm, the GOP sure is the party of the military...
