What the fuck is Pelosi trying to prove on her Middle East trip?

I hate what Bush has done to America's reputation around the globe, but what is this woman trying to do. She has very little say in foriegn policy matters (it is the perogative of the President of the United States) and for her to galavant around here and talk like she has any authority whatsoever on the subject makes her look like the power mad idiot that she seems to have become.

FOX is the LAST bastion of right wing media?!?!?!?!

Are you nutz, they are ALL right wing media now - don't get me started.

The Fourth Estate is dead and democrasy is close behind. Very sad.

(Secret wish - that Allan Sorkin (West Wing, Studio 60) had never started that worthless S/60 project and had instead exposed the inner working of the media these days. That would have had the impact West Wing did and maybe opened a few eyes.)

All done :)

Interesting that you'd post this in a thread about bias. Do you just hate Nancy Pelosi, or do you hate all Democrats? There is prior precedent for diplomatic visits to foreign countries by Speakers of the House.

In 1997, when Bill Clinton was president, speaker Dennis Hastert not only made a diplomatic visit to Colombia, but while there, urged Colombian officials to "bypass the U.S. executive branch and deal directly with Congress". (source)

So much for foreign policy being the "perogative" of the President.

Just yesterday, Dick Cheney managed to pack three already-disproven lies into a single paragraph. (source)

I bet he'd make a GREAT homo, seeing as how he knows how to pack so much is such little space. Without LUBE, even!! :rolleyes:

I did not know that members of Congress were supposed to be beholden to the President. Last I checked, Congress had the power to declare war and spend money (used for wars). So from where *I* sit, she is well within her right and authority. The President only commands the troops.

Please do us all a favor and learn the way the government is DESIGNED to work. Our system is built upon checks and balances between the 3 branches of government.

Thank you. Drive Through. First Window.

When I took a truckload of political science courses, "left" meant socialist to communist. Thus, my observation is that there are no (or almost none) left-wing news media in the United States, while there are plenty of right-wing news media in the U.S. The existence of a political left in a country doesn't always mean there is a right, and the existence of a political right in a country doesn't mean that there is a left, unless it is all relative for that country alone AND neither historical, global, nor social scientific definitions count.

Where Republican senators Aderholt, Wolf and Hobson (who, in the case of Hobson accompanied Pelosi, and the other two went before she did) also undercutting the President and being "power mad idiots"?

Robert Aderholt, Frank Wolf, and Dave Hobson are members of the House of Representatives, not the Senate.
