The Word 'Canada' on the Epaulet is Diagnostic, Madam Speaker.
...You know, there's a real easy way to avoid these little snickerings.

It's easy to mock, but... no, it's just easy to mock. Check out this:
Via Q&O, which notes, it's already been pulled from the Speaker's website. Captain Ed notes "I guess the Democrats never learn to do research before putting pictures on websites." A mean thing to say, but alas, not particularly inaccurate.
There are those who will wonder why we're front-paging Speaker Pelosi's inability to tell the difference between Canadian and American soldiers. The answer? This gaffe is the first evidence that we've had in several weeks that the woman is actually still alive, conscious and doing things. I'm frankly shocked: I never thought that I'd ever see a Speaker of the House who was simply too ineffectual to be a megalomaniac.
Umm, well done?
UPDATE: Larger photo, also from Q&O.

He's cut Canadian veteran spending to the bone!
...after all, we are Canada's military.

I demand to know why George Bush has been cutting funding for Canadian soldiers.
Get Schumer on the line, pronto! I want an investigation.
THE DEMOCRAT'S LOBOTOMY/INITIATION:
1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by lack of Federal funding. 2. You have to believe that the school system that can't teach a fourth grader how to read is some how the best qualified to teach those same children all about sex. 3. You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese communists. 4. You have to believe there was no art before Federal funding. 5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by Americans driving SUVs. 6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural. 7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand. 8. You have to believe that business creates oppression and governments create prosperity. 9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do. 10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it. 11. You have to believe that the U.S. Military, not evil and tyrannical regimes, start wars. 12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

Yeah, because I'm sure she is intimately involved with the running of her website.
Harry Truman 1948 : The buck stops here
Democrats 2007: The buck stops in our wallet.
I could start with double standards and how its amazing how the levels of criticism change with party affiliation.
In this case I will make the simple observation. Its her website, her web presence and probably her primary contact with her constituents on a daily basis (Bay area san fran, heavily wired). So she represents a district of web heads she might, just might have thought it important to oversee her site.
Jump to your rationalizations now. Theres nothing like being certain you are doing your bit to sacrifice truth to stop evil conservatives.

It's not like she seems to be doing anything else, these days.

I'm guessing that even now David Brock and his minions at media matters are swinging into action to explain that Pelosi's website was hacked or that the pic was photoshopped or, more likely, that it never happened (see, check her website, it's not there, it never happened).
