Two heartbeats away

I have to admit I was a little wary when Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., became Speaker of the House. But she has wowwed me more with each decisive and graceful move of true statesmanship she makes.

Try as they might, the wingnuts don't seem to be getting any factual traction on attempts to villify her trip to Israel and then Syria. If their accusations are true, I'm very pleased with Speaker Pelosi for making this peace-seeking trip.
