Pelosian honesty By Tony Blankley jewishworldreview.com \| When Mohandas Gandhi (aka "The Mahatma"— the great soul) was asked what he thought about Western Civilization, the heir to 5,000 years of Hindu civilization responded: "It would be a very good idea." In that spirit of the new Washington bipartisanship (we will see unicorns grazing on the Capitol lawns and lions laying down with lambs in Washington's green and gentle Arcadian fields before we actually spot genuine bipartisanship in Washington), I am delighted to fully endorse Speaker Nancy Pelosi's recent call for honest talk both with her colleagues and the American people. Of course, honesty is in little danger of actually happening very often. I had my first encounter with Pelosian honesty last week — as practiced by several liberal Democrats on the various radio and television discussions in which I participated (and elsewhere) — on the thorny political question of whether the Democratic-controlled Congress will cut off the money for President Bush's imminent call for more troops to Iraq. To review the bidding: (1) The Democrats cheerfully campaigned all last year on "re-deploying" our troops out of Iraq, (2) now that they are in charge, many of their voters want and expect them to legislate their campaign promise, and (3) the Democrats want to continue to express their unflinching determination to oppose the war and bring the troops home. jewishworldreview.com
