What have Haitians done to deserve this? Isn’t one earthquake enough?

Pelosi leads bipartisan delegation to Haiti

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she is leading a 12-member congressional delegation to Haiti today.

She said the trip is designed to “demonstrate the ongoing American commitment to the Haitian people – that they will not be forsaken or forgotten.”

Others are on the trip include Sens. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa; Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.; Bill Nelson, D-Fla.; Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; and George LeMieux, R-Fla. The House delegation includes Reps. John Conyers, D-Mich.; Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.; Jim Oberstar, D-Minn.; Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas; Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore.; Donna Christensen, D-V.I.

Indeed, about as “bi-partisan” as a score of termites bringing along a 2×4 to a picnic.

I assume their itinerary looks like this:

1) Drink several bottles of champagne on the 777 on the way to the island
2) Debark and give instructions to the camera crew. Make sure starving babies are tagged for later photo ops.
3) While holding said babies, blame Bush, Haliburton and Global Warming for the quake.
4) Scurry back to their hotel rooms and empty the shrimp and caviar bars. Wash down with Dom Perignon.
5) Depart. Give interviews to slobbering reporters and call the trip one of the “great accomplishments of the Obama administration and the Democrat-led Congress”
6) Return home, go to the microphone and accuse the GOP of being heartless and wanting to throw Haitians out in the street
