Looks like they all love Nancy! [PICS]

[blogslut]

[myrna minx]

1. Well look at that. An American who knows how to be diplomatic,

classy and respectful. What a beautiful sight! :bounce:

[LynneSin]

28. An American that could find Syria on the map & name the capital and leaders

Seriously - that's such a major step upwards

[The Backlash Cometh]

35. LOL!

Take THAT, you insufferable right-wing bastards!

[Spiffarino]

44. I'm just happy to finally have a leader in DC

...who can find her ass with both hands. Hastert couldn't find it with both hands and written directions.

[Bjorn Against]

65. Actually Hastert has found his ass...

His head is firmly lodged inside of it.

[emilyg]

92. classy

smart, charming unlike george

[Sequoia]

117. When she was a mom changing diapers, staying up with a sick child, that

She never thought she'd be where she is today. I'm so impressed. Way to go Nancy. Let the leader menfolk (heh, heh) stay home and let the women take care of the Peace process.

[AndyA]

2. What a contrast to the "welcome" Bush Admin. personnel get!

I'm so proud to be a Dem right now. Nancy is doing a great job at undoing the mess Bush & Gestapo have inflicted upon us.

[Raksha]

73. That will take a LOT of undoing!

Re >>Nancy is doing a great job at undoing the mess Bush & Gestapo have inflicted upon us.<<
But I agree Nancy has made a great start in that direction.

[wtmusic]

3. Can we just kick Ws ass out right now and install Nancy

I think we can all agree on that, right? :shrug:

[blm]

7. heh - - that's why I posted that poll about the 1st woman president.

.

[diane in sf]

60. Nancy for president in 2007

[Just-plain-Kathy]

83. "Nancy for President 2007"...that's like music to my ears. ..n/t

[HCE SuiGeneris]

4. That is so heartening. Diplomacy. Who woulda thunk it?

[sabra]

5. watch and learn Condi, watch and learn...

[myrna minx]

It's refreshing to see Speaker Nancy Pelosi

dressed like a diplomat and not wearing thigh high leather dominatrix boots or a ski parka to Auschwitz.

[Jacobin]

17. she's doomed to failure

condi only spews her boss' hateful RW PNAC talking points. She doesn't listen. She doesn't negotiate.
She only wants to stir the pot to create opportunities for wars.

[YOY]

100. and therefore future "fiscal opportunities" for all the PNAC enablers...

Never forget, money is always the bottom line with these folks.

[Virginia Dare]

102. Did you catch Donald Trump's excellent riff on Condi?

he's an asshole to be sure, but he was funny as hell on Larry King. He basically said that all she does is get on airplanes and waves, and that she was a waste of air.

[Jacobin]

121. Yes. I did hear that

I tipped my hat to him.

something like, 'she gets on a plane and waves and meets and waves again and gets on another plane and waves and never has a deal. never has a deal. I'd fire hire"

It was very very good.

:thumbsup:

[Supersedeas]

30. she might watch and definitely learn if she did--but it all in the execution

[bdamomma]

76. oh yes, learn how to dress too.

[SusanaMontana41]

91. No kidding

Pelosi has so much more gravitas and class. I'm so glad that someone who loves peace is in the Mideast speaking for us!

Nancy rocks. It's about time for our household to call her office again and say so.

[goclark]

6. Now that is a real President for America! nt

[helderheid]

8. She looks very Presidential!

[bananas]

37. Yes - reminds me off how people always greeted Bill Clinton. nt

[bigwillq]

9. And I do too!

:loveya: :bounce:

[Lautremont]

10. I was expecting her to be in a floating throne, like Threepio.

Still, nice pictures. You could put these beside pictures of flag-draped coffins and Iraqi children with their limbs blown off and say, well, here are two different approaches to foreign policy. Which one do you prefer?

[mzmolly]

109. And two different approaches to "battling terrorism."

Approach "kill peoples family members" increases recruiting. Approach, "treat people like the human beings they are" will reduce recruiting.

Now to impeach Bush, and really put a chink in the terrorist agenda. ;)

[babylonsister]

11. Happy rec'd! She positively glows!

:loveya: :loveya:

[enid602]

12. Nancy

I think what Nancy is doing is called 'filling a void.'

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

13. I keep trying to picture Condi in those pics

...it simply does not work. :shrug:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

46. took my idea. absolutely.

global leaders always look glum with her, as though they were silently quoting Shakespeare's words about suffering fools.

[Supersedeas]

106. Nope - feigned attempts at badgering a Russian emissary maybe...but not this

[Jacobin]

14. It looks like they're all saying:

'FINALLY, A GODDAMNED AMERICAN WITH A FUCKING BRAIN!!!!"

[Annces]

15. Yep - all smiles

She is a darling.

[blogslut]

16. Tons of love right here

Pics pics pics galore of our Madame speaker in the ME. All good. All awesome:

http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?p=Pelosi&c=news_photos

[Cha]

18. Those pics give me a

lump in my throat..it's so beautiful to see one of our elected leaders in another country using Diplomacy.

[hlthe2b]

27. "ain't" that the truth!

:loveya: Speaker Pelosi! Bless you for restoring some dignity and respect to this country.

[Done]

19. Another reason to impeach * and chaney.

guess who becomes POTUS.

[Cha]

33. Right! Another excellent reason

to Impeach the bushcheneygang. See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.

[Sequoia]

119. dupe

[catmandu57]

President Pelosi does have a nice ring to it

I hope kinda is choking on bile when she sees these.

[City Lights]

20. I'm proud to be an American today!

Wonderful pictures. Speaker Pelosi is an amazing woman.

Someone should shove these pictures down the throats of Bushco!

[Kolesar]

21. I wish I could smile like that when the world is going to hell...eom

[ThatsMyBarack]

52. If only Pelosi were POTUS....

then maybe it wouldn't. :shrug:

[diane in sf]

62. They're all smiling because because they are are increasingly hopeful that

there will be hardly any Republicans in office for a long time after these dead-enders get cleared out. And the Repugs are starting to be be neutered by the beginnings of congressional oversight

[Laughing Mirror]

22. She's doing the brilliant Dr. Rice's job for her

Is Pelosi getting paid overtime for this? Or an extra bonus, doing the work the brilliant Sovietologist doesn't seem much good at?

[HamdenRice]

23. Asad was potentially a reformer and the US should have reached out long ago

Asad's father was a pretty brutal character, but when the younger Asad took over there were lots of signals that he was going to open and reform the system. Even after the invasion of Iraq, Seymour Hersh reported that Syria was trying really hard to help with the borders. Bush didn't want that. So he had US forces kill a bunch of Syrian border guards "by accident." End of cooperation. Syria became a transit route for arms and jihadis.

It's great that Nancy is reaching out and perhaps can salvage the US reputation in the ME.

[ieoeja]

113. I have been wondering about that.

I remember when he took over. There was all this talk then about how pro-Western he was. I keep wondering what happened.

[Marrah_G]

24. I really wish she would run

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. But..but..she's undermining Preznut Bush's policies of bluster and blockheadedness!!

[Kurovski]

48. Don't forget the balderdash, ham-handedness and boobery.

We must fully acknowledge our pretzeldent's towering achievements.

[Patsy Stone]

66. The bombastic boastfulness!

And who among us doesn't adore the veinglorious vapidity?

:loveya:, Nancy!!

[Kurovski]

68. The repetitive ransacking of the republic!

The wanton wascally-wabbitness!

I would open a vain if my mighty macho presidentito asked. Er, vein.

Good freepspell. :loveya:

My name is Kathy.

[Patsy Stone]

69. Damn!

Damn! Damn! Damn! I'm off to edit. On second thought, perhaps others can learn from my mistakes (and my hesitance to use spell check). I am torn.

The hokum and thump-trumpery! The boggling tub-thumpery!

That floaty heart was for Nancy, the subject of the thread. This one is for you, Kathy (though, funny, I always pictured you as more of a Betty than a Kathy). When will you learn that not everything in this world is about YOU?! :loveya:

ed: verbosity. I needed more of it.

[Kurovski]

81. The chastising fum-fumpery! The closeted man-pumpery!

Not about me?! Says you, woman.

(My weekend name is Bonita Del Mar. Kathy is for Wednesday.)

The world is really diggin' soon-to-be interim president Pelosi! no wonder shrubby is pissed!:bounce:

[byronius]

93. The hrumph-bumph white rappery! The fake truth failed memory!

They ouched and they grouched all the way to the pokery!

[Kurovski]

126. Oh, YES. That would be a fine

finish to our little tale. :thumbsup: :D

[WinkyDink]

97. "The closeted man-pumpery!" BWAH!!

[tnlefty]

74. ROFL!!!

Ain't that the truth. I've had enough of bluster, bullying and blockheadedness!

Well done, Madame Speaker!

[bdamomma]

79. georgie is probably not to happy between Ahamdinejad letting

the Brit naval soldiers go and Nancy, he's reaching out to.... Uncle Dick, Karl, and of course his favorite cocktails. too bad george, you deserve it.

[Straight Shooter]

26. Have you ever seen such genuine smiles on all the parties involved?

All you have to do is look at pics of bush or condi or any of those other Repub schmucks with their phony smiles when they're visiting heads of state, who are also trying too hard to smile.

Just look at the difference in these Pelosi pics. It's the first thing I noticed, the genuine positive emotion that streams from their faces.

[Cha]

34. Exactly! They are smiling so

genuinely that I started smiling, too! :D

[Straight Shooter]

53. I know exactly what you mean!

A real smile involves the entire face, and you can't fake it no matter how hard you try. And, a real smile is contagious.

:hi:

[Laurab]

80. Me too - they're not "phony" smiles at all

perhaps they, too, think there is some light at the end of the tunnel!

[SoFlaJet]

36. too bad for the GOP

that THEY can't show THEIR pictures in Syria-you know because that would mean they'd have to admit to actually being there-making them hypocrites once more with all the anti-Peolosi crap they've been spewing the last few days....now if the Iranians would just come out and say she was a part of the Brits release-BOOM heads would explode at Fox

[Alcibiades]

86. Perhaps they all hate Bush

as much as we do, and welcome the takeover of our foreign policy by the legislative branch, the only branch with a mandate.

[BringEmOn]

29. Hmmm...maybe impeachment is back on the table.

[monmouth]

31. Mrs. Pelosi is the kind of woman, no matter her age, men simply fall in

love with, especially European/MidEast. She's beautiful, smart, very, very ladylike (an Italian Catholic upbrining)and has diplomacy written all over her. She's the kind, if invited to her home, you know you're going to have a great time. Wonderful sense of humor and the ability to make everyone she meets and speaks at any length with very special. She's wonderful.

[madrchsod]

32. she learned diplomacy by watching her dad and brother

"press the flesh" in Baltimore while she was growing up..yup it`s nice to see an american bring smiles to the faces of our "enemies"

[Cameron27]

38. She makes me so proud to be a Democrat.

Diplomacy, I remember that.

[seafan]

39. Way to go, Madam Speaker!

Judging from the beaming smiles, she was well received indeed. This must be SUCH AN EMBARRASSMENT for poor George....

[blogslut]

42. great comment!

:)

[Annces]

45. Oh that last pic of Bush is good

counter posed to the others. He thinks he is everybody's baby.

[dansolo]

64. "Quid pro quos" for Iranian hostages?

Hmmm... Where could George have gotten that idea from? His father, perhaps?

[aaronbees]

78. Wow, those photos are so powerful

They really hit me in a way I just can't quite articulate and make me cry to see an American leader who is ready to shrug off the divide and distance and get down to being human and forthright again. Particularly the one with Pelosi and a few women in a mosque, and then the photo of Nancy reaching toward a vendor. Such basic human gestures of togetherness.

Why is this so rare??????????

Way to go, Madam Speaker, you've pointed us the right way again. :patriot:

[Virginia Dare]

103. I notice Tom Lantos standing next to her...

he is a brilliant man, and is very keenly involved in and aware of Israeli diplomacy and politics, I'm glad she's seeking his counsel. They are of course very old friends, being from the same area of the country. He's getting quite old, I don't imagine he'll be around much longer, I love him, he's been a wonderful Congressman.

:kick:

[rateyes]

104. And, considering the fact that he's Jewish and in Syria

with Nancy, Lantos' presence there is great!!

[NastyDiaper]

115. Strolling an Arab market? No flackjacket?

Did McCain visit the wrong market?

[Ilsa]

40. I STILL HAVE GOOSE BUMPS looking at these pictures! She is awesome!

Thank you sooo very much, blogslut, for taking the time to post these.

Isn't the last pic ironic, in a way? She's in pants, and the prince and king are in traditonal long tunic "dress-like" apparel.

You know she is representing the US well on this trip. Remember that pic of Cheney walking with the king and looking really unhappy? He must have been on his way to the woodshed. Obviously not the case with our Nancy!

[lonestarnot]

41. Damn beautiful!

Smiles are nice to see for a change! :)

[vireo]

Is that Davy Jones of the Monkees in the last pic?

Sure looks like him. :D

[Spiffarino]

43. Assad looks like Gargamel

Any Smurf fans?

*crickets*

[milkyway]

47. Her actions are counterproductive. Bush wants more hate and more war, and

here's Pelosi calming things down. The nerve of that woman!

[mmonk]

49. Thanks for the pics.

I'll send them to the local republican headquarters with a nice little note containing the words "in your face" followed by a descriptive term.

[Control-Z]

50. Wow

Nancy is amazing!

She would make a great president.

[Error]

51. She is the smartest player so far,

and damn attractive. She is just a fit. Perfect age for President, also.

[Control-Z]

111. It's too bad Hillary

doesn't inspire the same. (Well, at least, not for me.)

[riverdeep]

54. This is bittersweet

Seeing this makes me wonder what the world would look like today if, after that brief period of time after 9/11 when the world stood beside us, a real leader could have been in charge. We had an oppurtunity that comes along maybe once a generation, a new world could have been shaped, not just with respect to security issues, but across the board. All of it, shot to hell. Fuck you GWB, fuck you.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

55. She makes me proud to be an American!

Way to go, lady! Way to go!!!

[blogslut]

56. These photos

The caption:

I bet Bush is crying in his pillow right now.

[Gregorian]

57. How could they not?

THANKS!

She's the ultimate. Born and raised for this moment. Yee haw! It's quite pleasing.

[onecent]

58. First Class Lady!! That's for sure! I'm so Proud of her!

[Joe Chi Minh]

59. I'd love to see old smoothie, Chirac, kissing her hand! What

a character!

[disndat]

61. Thrilling pictures!

Gorgeous Nancy is looking very presidential!!!

[MasonJar]

63. Not a Bush smirk nor a Cheney sneer in evidence anywhere. You go, gal!

[Glimmer of Hope]

67. What's not to love?

[roamer65]

70. The last pic is of Nancy and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, right?

Look at his face. He's seems very happy to be meeting her!!!

[leveymg]

112. Looks like him. When and where did they meet?- Didn't hear about it,

anywhere.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Dubya's been replaced on the Board of Directors?

[NEOBuckeye]

71. Sad isn't it, when the Speaker of the House has to take over foreign policy

Because the President and Vice President are such incompetent, megalomaniacal fools.

[leveymg]

114. Sad? Only circumstantially. Actually, the Presidency needs some cutting back.

And, we might want to make some limitations on Executive power - such as warmaking - permanent.

[Amonester]

72. Just by looking at these pics, I now dream of

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Nobel Peace Prize 2007 Nominee (first) and Winner (next).

Now, how do I proceed to make my dream come true? :)

[bdamomma]

75. Now that's what you call diplomacy, and class.

She's a good woman, and she's kicking ass!!!! (bush's a$$)

[Raksha]

77. Gore/Pelosi 2008? n/t

[donheld]

95. Pelosi/Gore 2008? n/t

Can a vice president serve more than 2 terms? :shrug:

[NastyRiffraff]

82. She looks genuinely interested and involved...

..unlike Pissypants, who always looks like he'd rather be home in his jammies when he's anywhere overseaas.

And she has such a great smile!

[Bitwit1234]

85. Have you ever seen rice get this kind of attention?

hell no.........

[eridani]

87. Can you say "President Pelosi"?

I knew you could!

[libnnc]

88. Rolls mellifluously off of the tounge doesn't it?

Just breathe, George. Just breathe.

[nam78_two]

89. "Is this that theyah diplermacy thing everyone is talking about"

Doh...

[KeepItReal]

94. That's because Nany Pelosi knows how to act like she's got some sense.

Unlike clowns like Bolton and Condi.

[Island Blue]

96. Pelosi '07!

K & R!

[WinkyDink]

98. There once was a Speaker named Nancy......

There once was a Speaker named Nancy,
Whose trips have left Bushco quite antsy.
She was mannered, polite;
Offered peace and not might---
An approach Chimp and Cheney just can’t see.

[E-Z-B]

99. This photo is equally impressive of a true president

[Virginia Dare]

101. But, but, but, she's sending mixed signals...

she's telling them all that we can solve our differences diplomatically, it's an outrage I tell you!!!

Meanwhile, our "leader" clears brush in Crawford Texas. I hope he fucking stays there until he dies or rots, whichever comes first.

[rateyes]

105. He's already rotted...

to the core.

[Lerkfish]

107. notice how the smiles are genuine, instead of the "deer in the headlights" look every dignitary gets

when being photographed with shrub.

[mzmolly]

108. THIS is how we battle "terrorism!" We stop giving people an excuse to dehumanize one another.

:cry:

Thank you Nancy Pelosi! :toast:

[EFerrari]

110. And they're all thinking the same thing. "Finally, a SANE person."

[Control-Z]

116. Finally, a SANE American

It feels strange to me that the two most qualified to be president of the United States are not even in the race.

They are both doing great things for our country, though.

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

118. GW doesn't know how to extend his hand without forming a fist

Well, George, here you go.

[The Stranger]

120. How could one not love her.

:loveya:

Like wow.

[Aviation Pro]

122. Each one of these guys....

...seems to be saying, "Thank Allah/God, the U.S. has come to its senses, Madam Speaker."

[Scurrilous]

123. Go Nancy!

:kick:

[Cascadian]

124. In a Democratic Administration maybe she should be a Sec. of State n/t

[cassiepriam]

125. Has she lost some weight?

She needs to take good care of herself!
Hope she is eating right.
