Startlingly enough for everybody but Abcdxxx, I'll throw my support in for this, at least to a certain degree. Kevin, I'll ask you to remember why it is that Senators and Congresspeople don't get elected to high office: their job requires them to contradict themselves almost daily. Something like the above Nancy P quote is really not something you'd want to base your entire argument against her upon. Don't get me wrong... I can't stand the little commie bitch, but I'm at least somewhat encouraged to see her doing something other than the same old ABB, anti-Republican brawling rut she's forced the D's into for the past 4 years or so.

I like to think of this as the start of the D's owning the real world situation to some degree, and the R's trying to counterweight that effort. I have no problem whatsoever with our people talking to Syria and/or Iran, simply because I understand that our country has no interest whatsoever in the actual day to day leadership of the middle east as a region after the "war is over." Our "victory" is going to require leaders of that region to step up and participate in a positive way, and you're not going to get that to happen by bombing the shit out of everybody in a turban.
