Alleged breast cancer survivors? Do you mean you don’t believe they ever had breast cancer? Why not?

Et Tu Laura!
Sad day for us as a country.

Something worse, Deb. “Sheik yer Abs” insisted that First Dog, Barney, and all other prez canines be banished while he visited the ranch. Barbeque Pork sandwiches anyone?
Islam…wrong, wrong, wrong for so many reasons.

Did you see the article in the WaPo at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/24/AR2007102402759.html? About some of the background? Kinda sad about the perception of cancer.

But did you notice, Debbie, that she was NOT wearing headgear while meeting with Abdullah?
Also, her smile seems more genuine in the last picture than in the picture with the other women.
(just my perception)
Thanks, and keep up the good fight!!!

It is just too bad that Judaism or Christianity or becoming girl clubs and their is no middle ground. 61% of those who attend church are female and the SOuthern Baptists not some liberal church had an article about this. An Orthodox Judaism it is just as bad but we have no one to write on this stuff as they claim this problem is limited to reform which from my own and my sisters experience is simply not true. While I hate Saudi Arabia for many reasons (including 15/19 hyjackers from this crazy place) I have to believe men who aren’t connected to the royal family have many civil rights abuses also as according to the world almanac Saudi Arabian women outlive Saudian Arabian men by 4 years (77.3 vs 73.3). At least we don’t have men groups going over there.

In Laura’s defense, note this quote from the article:
“At the end of the meeting, Amoudi presented Bush with a gift from the group — a black head scarf adorned with two pink ribbons stitched on the sides. Bush draped it over her hair briefly as the women beamed and moved in closer for photos.”
She was being gracious: she’d been given a gift and put it on briefly for the women.

Are you tired of the pandering by American politicians kowtowing to the Saudis, elect a Jew like me and I guarantee it will no longer be the case.

With both parties so willing to sell us out, what’s an infidel to do?

I blogged about this issue, why it is wrong on so many levels, and especially why it is so counterproductive for women’s health here:

Hello
Bush is the Realtor for the saud’s.
Great commission checks flow from this!
And, if you really want to feel the pain, go to Amazon. And, look for CRAIG UNGER’s HOUSE OF BUSH/HOUSE OF SAUD.
Yes. Printed in the USA. We have First Amendment Rights. NOT printed in England. The saud’s “threatened.”
Laura? She used to host Bandar’s “nice parties” when he was a saudi ambassador to DC.
Yeah. Glad you stayed tune long enough to know the white house lies.
And, Laura Bush looks UGLY in her head schmata. But for the saud’s? She’s willing to muss up her hair-do.
Yet, ya know what I think? George Bush is laying eggs.

Hey, what you don’t know, though; is that as soon as these women reach a private flight out of saudi arabia; out comes the booze. Off goes the tablecloths.
You should see what they buy in Paris!
Someday? BLOW BACK.
Because even if you can fool lots of Americans, there are arabs cross-eyed with hate at the wealth. And, the “squandering.”
Squandering, because they can’t get their hands dirty on the filthy rich stuff.
BLOW BACK. I hope some day it’s the real bitch.
While ya know what? Bush will have to mud wrestle Jimmy Carter for last place among our presidents. Does it help if his Poppy is there? Adding weight?

“People here think, you have cancer, you die. They don’t screen early, figuring, if I’m going to get it, that’s God’s will. ”
Not the kind of God I’d want to follow.

iwritethebook,
Regarding your lame defense …
Why be gracious when you’re given a controvesial gift — one that represents women’s inferior status according to Islamic law?
Just smile and set it aside — to be disposed of later. That’s sufficiently gracious.

LoneRanger on October 26, 2007 at 12:56 pm

What was she thinking! We don’t cow tow to the Middle Eastern ways – we annihilate them. The west has evolved, obviously, the middle east has not. To save our way of life we need to eliminate all of this backwards culture.

redwhiteandblueiam on October 27, 2007 at 1:29 am

you’re right. Women will only be free when they are free to go naked at all times. Debbie — you first. How about some boobies for us? Prove you’re not oppressed by the patriarchal Man.

Egypt Steve on October 28, 2007 at 5:04 pm

I had no idea! Wow, I feel cheated!

Laughing Maggie on December 23, 2010 at 10:40 am

THIS is why person people don’t take the MSM seriously; Debbie, you’re an idiot
