Doesn't matter, nothing will happen. She's a Democrat.

Tom Delay will be lynched and throwed to the wolves by his own party .

Democrats and the media will rally around Pelosi and her violation will be swept under the rug and labeled partisan politics.

Nothing new here. Move along.

She has no business going there. She does not set foreign policy. She should pay for her vacations with her own money.

I knew as soon as I saw Taiwan, that Torricelli would be involved with her.

Mid-term election results good for Taiwan

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi at the "Stand up for Taiwan" rally in DC on 18 June 1998

The results of the 5 November 2002 mid-term Congressional elections in the US are on the balance rather good for Taiwan. Although some of Taiwan's staunchest congressional supporters -- including Benjamin Gilman, Jesse Helms, Frank Murkowski and Robert Torricelli -- retired or didn't seek re-election, others -- in particular the four co-chairmen of the Taiwan Caucus (Bob Wexler, Steve Chabot, Sherrod Brown and Dana Rohrabacher) won their re-election bids. Also, Nancy Pelosi (D-California), who has shown strong support for Taiwan, rose to prominence as Democratic Leader in the House of Representatives.

In the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Richard Lugar is expected to be named chairman, replacing Joseph Biden, who was traditionally rather stand-offish to Taiwan. Another person in the Senate who will give strong support to Taiwan is Elizabeth Dole, who succeeds Jesse Helms of North Carolina.

Taiwan Communiqué comment: A more even support from Congress will help the Bush Administration in its quest to enhance relations with Taiwan. Three important issues are: 1) negotiation on a free trade agreement, 2) increase pressure on China to remove the some 400 ballistic missiles aimed at Taiwan and end its military threat against the island, and 3) speed up the acquisition of defensive weapons such as Kidd-class destroyers, submarines and AEGIS-equipped warships, as well as expand military cooperation and intelligence exchange with the US.

There has also been an increasing number of voices calling for making the Taiwan Relations Act the central piece of legislation in the relations between US, Taiwan and China, and to relegate the "One China" dictum and the three Sino-US communiqués to history. The latter are outdated leftovers from the Cold War period, and do not take account of the fact that democracy has come about on Taiwan. The consent of the people in Taiwan, peaceful resolution, and normalization of relations should be the cornerstones of the ties between the three countries.

I just saw on Newsmeat that Pelosi has a 2006 reelection contribution from David Chang. Is it the same David Chang that was laundering money to Torricelli from China?

She is a hypocrite and people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

Those who live in glass houses...

...shouldn't have faces like Nancy Pelosi's, it scares the neighbors.

Too funny. Yeah, if she has one more facelift her eyes will pop open so wide that she'll look like an alien.
