And isn't Nancy's a little more stylish than the plain black Laura wore?

Hey photo guy have you NOT seen the number of posts on this evidently a lot of the wacko's care

For those who used terms like jock, skank etc, grow the hell up you little children, whiney @ss 3rd graders is all you come across as

No SPEAKER Pelosi is not 1st lady and I'm sure she's damn glad of it, but as SPEAKER of the House she most certainly does represent our country go back to school you obviously got short changed educationally

SicialD don't act so naive as to imply the 1st lady in her role as such does not represent our country when she goes over seas, that's just foolish

Hey Mike no one gets to tell the speaker of the house what to do there bud and why is it OK for all the GOP congressman who are also there RIGHT NOW, lame one sided BS from the right as usual

Answer 1

Because Republicans are nothing but hypocrits.

Answer 2

It isn't. I haven't clicked your post, but as a conservative(not to be confused with repub.) I would be ridiculing her right along side you if I had seen Laura in a burka.
Banshee Pelosi DOES however deserve the riducule I and others heap on her. In her acceptance speech she passionately spoke of women's rights. It is demonstrable hypocrisy that she would fly to that country, (where for all intents and purposes will have no effect) and wear a symobol of clear and obvious oppression of women in that unfortunate nation. I was half expecting her to start baking cookies for him at any second.
Look, I understand the angle of respecting the nation, and don't actually argue it. But by putting that on she took a submissive stance to a man. That man also happens to be a leader in a nation, and in a faith that wants the USA off the map.
That said, Mrs Bush's doing so sits absolutely no better with me. The margin at which I believe the Republicans are superior to Democrats thins every day.

Answer 3

That was NOT a burka, but a head scarf
that pelosi was wearing and Laura Bush
is more intelligent and beautiful than pelosi,
and Laura IS NOT a Government offical!!
NO to the last question!!

Answer 4

Good question.

People don't realize that it is considered obscene for a woman to show her hair in that country; THAT is the reason for the veil, not to show American submission.

It would be like a female foreign diplomat coming to this country and refusing to wear clothing to see the President; insisting on meeting with him naked. It is considered THAT obscene.

Laura Bush understands too; when one is a guest in another country, one does not deliberately insult one's host.

George Bush would do the same thing if showing men's hair was considered obscene, too. He would HAVE to.

Answer 5

who gives a damn neither one of them looks stylish in those pictures.
And what was Laura doing while she was wearing that? was she over talkin to someone like Syria?
And is Laura an elected official like Nancy is.?

.

Answer 6

First, I don't think that's considered a burka. Secondly, who said it wasn't ok for Nancy to wear one? It's too bad Nancy doesn't wear a real burka that would cover her face and her big mouth.

Answer 7

The burka compliments Ms Pelosi's jock

Answer 8

Actually I kinda like Nancy with her burka on - it saved me the horrors of looking at her, period.

Thank you Mrs. Pelosi, I thought you couldn't do ONE thing right, but evidently you proved me wrong...LOL!

Answer 9

Because the liberal bias of the media is a lie. The media is conservative and panders to corporate interests and the GOP.

Answer 10

Nazi Pelosi isn't first lady and officially representing America. Laura Bush is a classy lady that represent America when she visits a country.

Answer 11

Because Pelosi is a disgusting skank.
