A different version of the facts from the Reform Party of Syria:

Annika,

Very reasonable. You had such a good upbringing so how come your politics got so twisted??

There are things that take place in these houses of worship that have made me a little queesy at times. If I am in a church for mass I stand when the congregation stands but i do not kneel when they kneel.

"how come your politics got so twisted??"

Projecting much?

She should have been criticized if she DIDN'T wear the headdress.

On a more substantial subject, I don't have any problem with Congressional fact-finding tours per se, nor do I have a problem with a Congressperson noting in the generic that yes, I play a role in the foreign policy of my country. Granted that this confuses some nations that are not used to separation of powers, but if our female government officials are going to wear headdresses in your country, you need to understand that our female government officials have to exercise Constitutional oversight in our country.

Raygun,

I don't know what I would do without you to point these things out to me. Many thanks.

It's a cardinal rule that visitors respect the customs in someone else's country--even more important if you represent your country's government. Doesn't count against her.

Nancy submissive? Are you nuts?

No one has ever accused her of being that...

Arrogant, naive, ballsy, rude,scary, confronational, any of these, but sumissive?

Never, never, never. (To paraphrase Winnie)

The problem is not that she wore a hijab, it's the fact that she was in syria, a terrorist sponsoring state, trying to undermine the current administration.

Much like Kerry in the 70s, she's in violation of a little thing called the Logan Act.

§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

I found you quite by accident, and admittedly, this is the first time I've read any remarks made by you, but I just wanted to say, You ALMOST had it right. ALMOST. "Frank" hit the nail on the head. I don't care what Ms. Pelosi wore, or how courteous and respectful she might have been. The only question Americans should be asking, including our Federal prosecutors, is WHAT IS SHE DOING THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE? Anyway, I'll drop in from time to time, you sound intersting. Chef

Chef,

Unless if Annika comes up with her own "Hockey Chicken" campaign* to keep her from "retiring", you've only got until May 20th before this blog is put out of commission.

*such as meeting all of her Amazon wishlist demands ASAP!

Reagan, it is a function of the stress of the California Bar Exam. You get one chance, every six (6) months to pass. The pressure is great and the exam lasts three days, eight hours a day.

Thus, I expect her to retire as planned, but, she says she'll occasionally post on something called "Six Meat Buffet", so we can all move over there, except for that one fool who will remain nameless.

Here's the link:

Thanks for clarifying that, Shelly.

Though in my case, there will be 2 fleas that I won't miss after the curtain finally comes down here.

Shelly,

Now look what you've gone and done: given me the link.

You know Shelly, just because you don't like me and I don't like you doesn't mean we can't be friends. Some of my best friends are RW jellybean appointee's. Why just the other day, I was on Madison and 57th street and who should come strolling up the avenue?

Tom Watson

Shelly,

Nope, close, it was Tom's wife.
