"BEIJING (AFP) – US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime critic of Beijing's rule over Tibet and its rights record, arrived in China on Sunday for a trip focused on energy and climate change. "US embassy spokeswoman Susan Stevenson confirmed Pelosi had arrived in Shanghai but could not say who the top US official was going to meet in the country's financial hub. "Pelosi is scheduled to attend a clean energy forum in Beijing on Tuesday along with Senator John Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Other details of her itinerary were not immediately known."Strange, is it not, that Pelosi spokeswoman Susan Stevenson cannot say who the person third in line for succession to the U.S. presidency is "going to meet in the country's financial hub," and could not provide other details about the Speaker's itinerary? Wild guess: The Democrat Party is paying to have Pelosi's mouth permanently sewn shut so as to prevent a repeat of the PR drivel she slurped over the past two weeks, OR she is being fitted for a teleprompter similar to the one that keeps President Obama from being transparent or truthful. Either way, Pelosi is definitely on a mission to escape the heat that she brought upon herself with those zany and inconsistent statements.
