A)"All quarters" implies conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats--Pelosi was criticized by one side (the right), not both/all. B)Yah, Murdoch's NYPost is conservative, the Washington Post editorial page has become increasingly conservative, and the Philadelphia Inquirer (note spelling) piece is not an editorial, but a commentary by a conservative columnist.--[[User:WJThomas|WJThomas]] 22:38, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

:No one as best I can determine defended Pelosi (no one other than her '''extreme''' liberal base). Even Pelosi backtracked. The cite says, "Our message was President Bush’s message". [http://www.kxmb.com/getARticle.asp?ArticleId=111801] What, pray tell, does this mean? Pelosi ''agrees'' with Bush's foreign policy? Pelosi was out promoting Bush's foreign policy? Of course she had to say it in Portugal, and not here, cause she'd be skewered by her own base for furthing Bush's efforts to destroy the planet and civilization as we know it. But she knew by the time she got to Portugal what a colossal farce this trip had been, and had to go on record somewhere disclaiming her actions. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 22:46, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

::1) Dems of all stripes defended Pelosi (not just the the "extreme liberal" ones), '''and''' some ''Republicans''(!) did, too. 2)"Our message was Bush's message" clearly means that Pelosi didn't say anything contrary to administration policy or to embarrass the president. Or, to phrase it another way, she and the president are on the same page. She continued, "It became clear to President Assad that even though we have our differences in the United States, there is no division between the president and the Congress and the Democrats on the message we wanted him to receive." 3) She said this in Portugal not because she was trying to hide, but because that's where she was when the reporter reached her by telephone. --[[User:WJThomas|WJThomas]] 23:16, 3 May 2007 (EDT)

Maybe I'm missing something--what do Lorena Ochoa and Ségolène Royal have to do with Pelosi?--[[User:WJThomas|WJThomas]] 23:16, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
