" latest marquee clown in America’s circus diplomacy."

[justgamma]

I know this is kind of old news, but I thought it was pretty funny.

Behind the veil and beyond the hijab


"America’s circus diplomacy has arrived in the Middle East. The lady from Texas, grand emissary of the American Sultanate headed by Bush, has come to change the hearts and minds of people in the eastern caliphates, particularly those that hide behind the veils and beneath the scarves of Muslim women. Imagine: Karen Hughes proselytizing those daughters of the Qur’an… and with a Southern televangelical accent no less!


But irreverent comments aside, and in deference to the seriousness of the task at hand (changing hearts and minds in the Muslim world) let the circus have its day, and let the star clown perform."
