Some Salutary Scandalum Magnatum

From Professor Lynch:

Lucky timing

Fortunately for me, my week on the road coincided with the Arab summit in Riyadh, which means that nothing of any real value was missed. Much adulation of the Custodian of the Holy Places in the Saudi media (and American), and blithering on about how this time things might go differently because of the astonishingly amazing Custodian et al - a relief, because saves me the trouble of trying to catch up! Because nothing much is likely to come of any of it - the Iran stuff likely more important than the Israel stuff, from what I can tell.

Speaker Pelosi gets her putdownance too, in the peanut gallery attachment to the above. In response to the direct question, "What do you make of Pelosi's visit to Damascus?," the professor talks some scarcely intelligible jive about the petroleum market: no Nancy, no Syria.

(Ah, if only ignoring vainglorious showboaters would really make them go away!)
