Flash: Nancy Pelosi to meet with Pope?

Drudge has a newsflash:

Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!

Culberson made the charge on Houston's KSEV radio.

Pelosi is hoping to lead a delegation to Europe; there's a meeting with the Pope and an award from an Italian legislative group.

Calls to Pelosi's spokesman went unreturned.

In the rushing, Democrats have now broken their promise to have the public see the $790 billion bill for 48 hours before any vote.

It's been five months since Pelosi promised to meet with her Archbishop. In the meantime, she has found plenty of time to advocate family planning (abortion/contraception/etc) ... and now she plans to meet the pope?!
