On the April 25 edition of his CNN Headline News program, Glenn Beck asserted that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “didn't even meet with” Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, during his April 25 visit to Capitol Hill. In response, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), whom Beck was interviewing, said that Pelosi is “too busy over there talking to the Syrians and wanting to have her own personal State Department.” Huckabee added: “So I guess she was just too busy to go and meet with the very person that she has been so willing to criticize in public.” In fact, as Media Matters for America noted, ABC News senior national correspondent Jake Tapper reported in an April 24 ABCNews.com article that Pelosi would “not attend” Petraeus' April 25 briefing for lawmakers, but noted that a “Pelosi aide said the speaker on Tuesday requested a one-on-one meeting with Petraeus but that could not be worked out,” and that Pelosi and Petraeus had instead spoken on the phone for 30 minutes.

From the April 25 edition of CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck:

BECK: You know, Nancy Pelosi didn't even meet with Petraeus today, it's my understanding. He came to Capitol Hill to talk --

HUCKABEE: Oh, she's too busy over there talking to the Syrians and wanting to have her own personal State Department. So I guess she was just too busy to go and meet with the very person that she has been so willing to criticize in public. It's amazing to me.
