I’ve got no problem with Condi’s visit to Syria. That’s what diplomats are supposed to do – conduct diplomacy, even with folks we dislike. Michelle Malkin seems to have forgotten that.

Fer cryin' out loud. Will she pull a Pelosi and put on a hijab, too?

Just a reminder of what Vice President Cheney said a few weeks ago about Pelosi's meeting with Syrian president Assad:

This is an evil man. He's a prime state sponsor of terror...So for the speaker to go to Damascus and meet with this guy and treat him with the respect and dignity ordinarily accorded the head of a foreign state -- we think it is just directly contrary to our national interest."

Talk about sending "mixed messages." Cripes.

Oh, and about that scarf Pelosi wore in the infamous picture from Syria – please remember that she was visiting a mosque at the time, and showing proper deference to the religious protocol in doing so. It is no different than me wearing a yarmulke when visiting a synagogue – it is called good manners.
