re: "Ms. Nancy Redeems Herself ... Just a Little Bit"

The Consul's Files ("Where U.S. consular officers can ...
... ask questions, answer questions, question answers, express frustrations, tell their favorite consular stories, uncensored and anonymous.
") has a good memory for legislative inconsistency.


Money quote(s):

"I'm fairly certain that it was Ms. Pelosi who berated CA for attempting to collect payment from Beirut evacuees in 2006; people who had moved to and lived in a place we'd been warning them for years to stay away from. As it was the same Ms. Pelosi who had earlier voted against earmarking funds for Amcit emergency evacuations."

I wouldn't call her "crazy," but then my training is to avoid making diagnoses, but rather provide factual descriptions from which the reader/listener can draw their own conclusions.

That's a very useful consular skill, btw.
