I wish the South Park guys would do an episode on Nancy Pelosi “fact-finding” in Syria. The comic potential is immense.
Another take would be to give Nancy a pop quiz on the plane over. “Nancy, what’s an Alawite?” or “What’s Hama?” I’d bet my house (and, yes, it’s intact) you’d get a blank stare and response similar to this one. So maybe it’s a good thing she’s doing a little fact-finding. Bashar Assad will set her straight.

Mar 31, 2007 - 9:40 am 4. ricpic:I could understand Pelosi going on a “fact finding” tour of the Lebanon. I hear the shopping in Beirut is still pretty good. But Damascus? What’s in Damascus, Syrian knockoffs of Persian rugs? Madam Speaker, why not go straight to the source, Teheran?

Mar 31, 2007 - 1:52 pm 6. Captain Hate:Hey she’s just trying to multitask and get an eye exam while she’s in the region.
Mar 31, 2007 - 2:13 pm 7. Barry Dauphin:The eye lady meets the eye doctor. Maybe she’s going for treatment. “Gee, Madam Speaker, you look like you have trouble seeing. I shall help you see more clearly?”

Mar 31, 2007 - 4:29 pm 9. flicka47:So…..what’s she going to wear for the occasion???
