Meanwhile, Nancy’s whirlwind shadow diplomacy tour continues in Saudi Arabia, the world center of Wahhabism and exporter of radical Islam (along with all that oil): Pelosi visits Saudi Arabia.
Normally, if it’s known that you’ve visited Israel you won’t be allowed into either Syria or Saudi Arabia. I discovered this for myself years ago while on tour in the Middle East; we were told that our Israeli visas would be included on special removable pages in our passports, so that we’d be able to go to other countries in the area. Lovely custom, isn’t it?
Of course, if you’re the Speaker of the House, your propaganda value outweighs any bothersome antisemitic customs the little people have to put up with:
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Saudi Arabia’s unelected advisory council Thursday, the closest thing in the kingdom to a legislature, where she tried out her counterpart’s chair — a privilege no Saudi woman can have because women cannot become legislators.
Pelosi, the first woman speaker of the House, said she raised the issue of Saudi Arabia’s lack of female politicians with Saudi government officials on the last stop of her Mideast tour, but she refrained from criticizing the kingdom over it.
