On Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Syria which provokes wild-eyed Republican Rage over the oh so tortured controversy of promoting dialogue between two countries:
"'I come back thinking, all right, we will get through their tantrum,' Ms. Pelosi said, in a reference to the administration, 'but the fact is, we accomplished what we set out to do. I think we improved the understanding among the different parties.'"
Because Somebody has to be The Grown-up:
"Truth is, as the person who is second in line for the presidency and head of a co-equal branch of our goverment, Speaker Pelosi should be making more trips like this one. Moreover, if the Bush administration refuses to follow the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group then someone has to."
