Actually, parseDateTime expects a date/time object as a parameter, so it
would fail if the date in the RSS feed is blank. I would suggest a
try/catch around the parsedatetime() function, and forget about the
isDate() function.
e.g.
<cfset variables.datetime = "">
<cftry>
<cfset variables.datetime = parsedatetime(newsitem.pubdate.xmltext
)>
<cfcatch>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
