US House speaker Pelosi to visit China
2009-05-22
US House of Representatives speaker Nancy Pelosi will visit China this month, state press said Thursday.
Running away from her little problem with the CIA?
Quality time with kindred souls ...
Job-hunting on the taxpayer dime.

#16  This is the first of many "Thank You" tours From the Dems for financing the prez election.

The Chinese, who are watching the value of their US Treasury Bonds sink faster than the setting sun, are probably and pragmatically coming to the conclusion they'd better back the other horse in the next race [which is why Nancy is trying to avoid through her visit].

#15  Rambler,

They have little paper yamulkes at the West Wall but you do not have to wear it if you don't want to.

#14  As much as I despise Nancy Pelosi, I do think she's gotten a bum rap about wearing a kerchief on her head while visiting a mosque. If you visit someone else's religious building, you should follow their customs.
For many, many years, women were expected to wear something on their heads when visiting a Catholic church. Only in the last 35-40 years has this gone away. Men were never to wear headgear in church, except priests, bishops, cardinals and popes.
As I understand it, men visiting the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem are expected to wear a yarmulke. They have some available for unprepared men. I am not sure about women.
Pick on SanFran Nan for something legitimate. It is a target rich environment. But not for wearing a scarf at a mosque.

#7  Since Pelosi already did that hiding her hair thing in muzzieland, will she bind her feet for the Chinese trip? I already know she has a fine collection of Mao jackets at home.

PS. Can a mod post the Kow Tow pic? Never did figure out how to include a pic from the menu when posting an article.
