The Fighting 29th All about New York's 29th Congressional District http://www.fighting29th.com/node/4296/atom/feed 2007-04-06T08:44:05-04:00 Kuhl on the Pelosi Trip http://www.fighting29th.com/2007/04/kuhl-pelosi-trip.html 2007-04-06T08:44:05-04:00 2007-04-06T08:44:05-04:00 Rottenchester Today's Democrat and Chronicle carries a story about Louise Slaughter's (NY-28) participation in the Congressional delegation to the Mideast led by Nancy Pelosi. This delegation has become controversial because it is visiting Syria. Randy Kuhl's spokesman, Bob Van Wicklin, gives Kuhl's response:

Randy feels that it's the administration's job to deliver diplomatic messages, not Congress [...] The fact that Speaker Pelosi botched the message she delivered on behalf of Israel is evidence of that. We need to speak through one secretary of state, not 535 of them.

Kuhl has consistently favored diplomatic dialogue with Syria and Iran. The basic facts of the Pelosi "botch" are available from the Washington Post, which excoriated Pelosi for her misstep in an editorial yesterday.
