Nancy Pelosi's trip to the middle east is both crass and tasteless. It would be one thing if she were over there as a private citizen on vacation. But she's over there as Speaker of the House first.
Foreign dealings are the realm of the Executive Branch for very practical reasons. Being as the Congress has 535 people in it getting a unified message from the Legislative branch is almost impossible. Only the President can send a single message to other nations.
Unfortunately, most foreign lands have no understanding of our government. For that matter, most Americans have no understanding of our government in that respect either. But I digress. The problem is that *any* the idiot speaker says over there can (and very likely will) be used against us at a later date. And since it play right in to leftist politics, there will be howls from Libs to follow through on whatever promises and illegal agreements the Queen Bee happened to mention off hand.
Liberal stupidity truly knows no bounds.
