Great quote from Nancy Pelosi:

“If freedom loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China’s oppression and China and Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world,” said Mrs. Pelosi, a Democrat.

I must give the good speaker credit when due.  I wouldn’t expect Denny Hastert to be visiting the Dalai Lama.  George W Bush, who has talked a good game about spreading democracy, has been much more ambivalent on his approach to China, and the upcoming olympic games.  For shame, Mr. President.  It is sad to see that on an issue of such importance he is outflanked on the right by Nancy Pelosi, of all people.
