The editorial position of the Washington Post is normally to the left of center. This stance makes sense for a newspaper for a town of government workers, most of whom routinely vote Democratic.
That leftward bias makes their Thursday editorial about Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Syria particularly striking. The Editors of the Washington Post evaluate her Syrian pronouncements as "counterproductive" and "foolish."
This judgment is from an editorial group which has made no secret of their dislike for President Bush's foreign and domestic policies. With 'friends' like these, Nancy doesn't need all the enemies she has made.
