Nancy Pelosi Fails QA...

Well, not Nancy Pelosi herself, but her Web site has gotten the wrong sort of attention on the blogs recently (here and here and so on). It's a simple Macromedia Flash presentation embedded within a Web site, but it has a number of problems that a tra...

Steve,

My post may be off topic, but not, I think, Irrelevant. Using essentially meaningless stories such as this to change the focus of attention and take the spotlight off of more important is something that Rove has mastered, and there has been a lot of trickle down.

Watch how quickly the Natalee Holloway story reappears on the fox.com hompage the next time Bush has a really bad news day...

This is an easy mistake to make. It's not like these uniforms are labeled or anything.

Oh, wait.

In all fairness, people make mistakes. This mistake has nothing to do with Pelosi's positions or legislative agenda.

Anjin-San,

Stick to the topic rather than turn everything into a Bush rant and people will be more patient.

Chaos,

Takes a real man to call names while hiding behind a computer. Keep it up stud.

Sorry if my concern for how vets are treated in the world touches a nerve on the right. Guess it is not a "fun" subject. Its easy to see why its a sore spot.

Clearly, this demonstrates that Pelosi hates America [/Q and O]

Honestly, I think polticians and their web designers (because I think we can agree that it is unlikely Pelosi herself had anything to do with the graphic displayed) should be careful of what they post.

I think this was picture posted in ignorance and with little care to getting it right-it is one of the gaffs that hurts on the PR front.

James, Perhaps this post needs the "Humor" tag?

anjin-san: stop being such a prick; for the past two years all you've done is make straw-man comments, and you make it less fun to read this site.

I guess this "controversy" is a way of diverting attention from the Bush admin's shabby treatment of vets. If political points are more important then supporting the troops in reality and not in fantasy land, by all means, lets have at it...

Awe hell, why not fund the Canadians too. Surely there is enough pork somewhere that won't be missed.

Having worked in a number of different organizations of various types, including companies, I'm not at all surprised. Most organizations aren't very receptive to upwards information flow of this kind. I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone down the line said, "Hey, we should make sure that this is an American vet", but then saw their concern given little priority and subsequently ignored/forgotten.
