Pruden on Pelosi
Best write-up yet I've seen on Bella Pelosi's road trip to the Middle East. Wesley Pruden over at The Washington Times nails her over and over again.
Nancy Pelosi is playing to her natural constituency. Jimmy Carter, the distinguished peanut farmer, and Bashar al-Assad, the murderous dictator of the terrorist government in Damascus, are thrilled. Nearly everybody else sees a lady too big for her pantyhose.
"I was glad she went," said Mr. [Peanut]. (Can it possibly be true that this man was once president of the United States?) "When there is a crisis, the best way to help resolve the crisis is to deal with the people who are instrumental to the problem."
Yes, it's always *so* productive to try and reason with terrorists.
By the time she got to Saudi Arabia, where a good woman is worth almost as much as a sheep or a goat, her hosts were close to rapture. They let her sit in the speaker's chair at the king's advisory council, where only men were previously allowed. She was particularly pleased that the Saudis didn't stuff her into an abaya, the tentlike black cloak required of Saudi women, and she could wear her pistachio -colored pantsuit.
"Nice view from here," she said. One of the sheiks shot her a glance that suggested that he thought his view was nice, too, as if she still looked young enough and muscular enough to do the heavy lifting around the house.
Our feminist leader. I don't know for sure, but I'd be willing to bet she was sitting in a chair from which women have been sentenced to death for horrible crimes such as, oh, showing part of an arm or falling in love with the "wrong" man.
Another sheik, perhaps a sheik aspiring to be a television reporter, looked at her sitting where a Saudi woman would pay with her life for sitting and asked, "How does it feel?" Nancy couldn't resist taking a shot at her own country with the moral equivalence that a San Francisco Democrat sips with his afternoon chablis. "I am very pleased that after 200-plus years in the United States we finally have a woman speaker. It took us a long time."
The poor woman has no idea how much that thought, a woman in a position of power, made her hosts cringe. No, she was just having a grand old time, taking a shot at her own country in the process. Nice.
There is one statement in this column that I completely disagree with. This one:
Mrs. Pelosi is no doubt a loyal American, as she understands loyalty, but she neither understands nor appreciates the civics lessons she should have been paying attention to in junior high school. The president, Republican or Democrat, and not Congress, conducts foreign policy.
No. Mrs. Pelosi is not a loyal American. She is a loyal Democrat, a loyal liberal. Those two things take precedence over her Americanism. Power, she is drunk with it. Addicted to it. That, and hatred for George W. Bush. Those are her driving forces, not loyalty to America. If she were loyal to America, she wouldn't be trying to undermine our Commander-in-Chief with this visit, among other things, and our troops by her legislative actions. This woman is lower than carpet fiber, and deserves no respect whatsoever.
Read the whole column. The most sickening line in the whole thing?
The minister of the Syrian Cabinet was even more thrilled, perhaps because he smokes something weirder than you can find even in San Francisco. "Syria stands for freedom and for peace, and so does Nancy Pelosi."
Chew on that for a while.
JASmius: I wish the President would chew on Crazy Nancy for a while. He ought to figuratively back-hand her across the room for this illegal freelancing. But this is what he left himself open for by not liberating Syria, along with their big brothers in Tehran, when he had the chance.
At any rate, Crazy Speaker Pelosi is just the opening act. The main event is a little over twenty-one months away.
Are you making your exile plans? Time's a-wasting....
