Imagine the right-wing outrage if Democrats had invited Hugo Chavez to address Congress

[Hugabear]

Back when Bush was in office, imagine the right-wing outrage if Democrats had invited someone like Chavez, Castro, or any other world leader they considered to be hostile to their interests.

Right-wing radio would have been aflame with demands for the impeachment of Pelosi & Reid, demanding the Sergeant-At-Arms deny entry to the visiting leader. They would have been trumpeting such a visit as a slap in Bush's face, and calling it treason, etc.

Funny how it's okay when they do it

1. Of course when Bush looked into Putin's eyes and found him to be very straightforward and

trustworthy, not to many comments from the right-wing then

2. Good Point!

That's the kind of perspective we need to image a comparison.

Thank you.

3. How many more years will it be before the DEM control the House???

4. Or Rouhani.

Since the Beebster is happy to instruct us on the nature of Iran's policies, I'm sure that Repubs would equally support Rouhani's speech about the nature of Israel's.

5. They crapped in their pants when Nancy Pelosi went overseas as speaker of the house

I remember how they'd respond to something congress people actually do diplomatically and it wasn't pretty.
