Gee Maineboy, you're kind of stuck on this succession of Presidential power thing, do you know something we don't??? Ha Ha of course you don't, I was being sarcastic. First of all, as much as you want it to be so, Ms. Pelosi isn't the Vice President(he is second in line). I know she thinks she is but that doesn't make it so. You lack of knowledge of civics doesn't make it so either. She is merely the "master of ceremonies" of the House of Representatives, the head Congress woman....still in reality Representative Pelosi from the 8th district of California. That is her whole excuse for needing to get back to her constituents in such a hurry, how could she possibly know what the homosexuals of her district want her to do if she can't rush back to hold their collective hands while they give her their demands. She, like you, has overstated her worth..... Secretary of State Rice on the other hand actually does something other than sit back with a gavel cleaning her teeth.
Isn't it the Democrats, and I emphasize rats, that are the ones that insist on the importance of diplomacy? That is what Ms. Rice's job entails which means international travel, she still doesn't have a "Rice One", she flies on the aircraft available to her.
Pelosi could take a Greyhound bus to San Francisco, nothing would be effected. As big of a deal as the Dims want to make of her, at the end of the day she is nothing more than the head of the Dimocrat Representatives, a idiot could handle that....surprise, an symbolic idiot is.
