Joe is confused

When Nancy Pelosi and a delegation of Congressmen met with the Syrians last month, the Administration singled out Pelosi as having done a Very Bad Thing. The wingnuts said her actions were akin to treason. Yet there was nary a peep regarding any of the males on the same trip. Flash forward to this week when Condi Rice met with the Syrian Foreign Minister at the big “What the hell do we do about Iraq?” conference in Egypt. Rice’s meeting was hailed as thawing of relations and the beginnings of a dialogue between the quarreling states.

So, the “Talking to the Syrians” score card is as follows:
Men talking to the Syrians – no problemo.
Black women talking to the Syrians – you go girl!
White chicks talking to the Syrians – The horror; the horror!

This policy strikes me as more than odd. Does the Administration have something against white women? It would sure seem so. Maybe there is some other explanation that I am too dull to glean from the evidence...
