WASHINGTON (AP) -- Education Secretary Margaret Spellings has put a passport stamp on her job, taking more overseas trips since 2005 than her predecessor did in four years.

In less than a year and a half, Spellings has taken seven overseas trips, traveling to Afghanistan, England, Egypt, France, India, Italy, Japan, Jordan and Russia. She plans to visit Greece and Spain later this month.

1. Maybe it's because she has no audience here.

She rings so hollow.

I cannot Imagine she will have much purchase overseas. Most of those countries students are kicking our students' butts in every survey taken.

2. I think she's trying to make nicey with * by peddling...

Neil Bush's "Insight" uneducation programing software to unsuspecting Europeans.

3. Join the administration and see the world.

Great accommodations, excellent food and wines, private tour expeditions, shopping, assistants to help fill your every need, everything at your fingertips and more.
