Pelosi Talks to Terrorist, Not her President?




Biting satire from Transterrestrial Musings:



In a new attempt to finally bring a rogue regime to heel,
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
announced today that they plan to diplomatically isolate the White House.
In
response to an invitation from the president to come to the White House and
discuss a troop funding bill, Senator Reid rejected it, saying "We won't meet
with preconditions. We hope that the road to peace lies down Pennsylvania
Avenue, but we can't trust this administration, and they don't seem willing to
negotiate on our obvious need to get the troops out of Iraq as soon as possible,
and to lard the funding bill with things like spinach subsidies, despite the
fact that we obviously couldn't have passed it in the form we wanted without
them."
Speaker Pelosi agreed. "It's one thing to meet with a peace-loving
world leader like Bashar al-Assad, or President Ahmadinejad," she said. "It's
another to meet with a theocratic warmonger like George Bush. If we dignify his
illegitimate regime with a negotiation, how will we ever build international
pressure against him, and end his imperialistic ambitions?"


A bit of dangerous hypocrisy going on here.
