And Now, Historic Photo Ops With Senator Bill Nelson

"Fan-tastic!"
In a direct affront to the Bush administration, a Democratic United States senator spent an hour Wednesday with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus, asking him to do more to stabilize Iraq.
Senator Bill Nelson, a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, met with Assad after the State Department said that it disapproved of his trip.

"...so I decided to go with the middle-eastern motif and open floor plan."
Well, at least he didn't come away empty-handed:

"President Assad has clearly indicated a willingness to cooperate."
Indicated a willingness? Wow! Now, that's historic, baby!
(H/T: Allah)















Is Bill Nelson is talking to Assad because he wants to:
A) Eat a big heaping plate of Taqiyya.
B) Reenact Neville Chamberlain.
C) Join hands with the enemy.
D) All of the above.
I would hope it would be “A” but I am afraid it is “D.”

Damn, he looks an awful lot like Wink Martindale.

Yo, John, a little off topic, but may I suggest a little holiday contest.
That would be to draw a Barak Obama caricature.
I'm sure our fledgling artists would be delighted in presenting their talents.
Thanks, and Pleasant Festivus to all.

There is no situation that "Die Hard" can not explain:
Nelson: "Hey babe, I negotiate million dollar deals for breakfast. I think I can handle this Eurotrash."
