Check it out. USA Today, in a great–though not complete–editorial cites me on Mrs. Bush’s anti-sartorial non-splendorous Islamic headgear. I always love saying “I made USA Today, Today”:

Laura Bush Ends Up Wearing a Headscarf After All
We don’t normally cover women’s fashion, but On Deadline feels a special responsibility to share with you this photograph of first lady Laura Bush wearing a headscarf.
Last week, a White House spokeswoman told USA TODAY that Bush wasn’t required to wear a head covering during her trip to Saudi Arabia and other parts of the Middle East.
We ran a photo the other day that shows Bush with two women in cloaks. But blogger Debbie Schlussel says Bush did in fact wear a headscarf while visiting the Kingdom, and uses this official photo to prove her point.

Alhamdillullah [Praise Allah], Mrs. Pander Claus
Has Arrived in the Islamist World

Someone who goes by the pseudonym siyamee posted another photo of the cloaked first lady on Flickr. Blogger dotsson posts a series of photos that ends with this sentence: “Tada! I wonder what the Republicans in Washington will make of this picture.”

The most interesting thing about this editorial was that when I clicked on the link to my site, I was forced to see a Dell computer ad first. Pretty sneaky . . . but not as sneaky as Mrs. Bush’s lying PR people who made a point to tell USA Today, last week, that she absolutely wouldn’t don the headgear of oppression . . . but then did for our Saudi perpetrators, er . . . “allies” in the War on Terror.
Thanks again to reader “greatcometof1577,” for that tip. Couldn’t have done it without you . . . or the rest of you, my highly-valued readers.my

. . . Sex Toys in the Grocery Aisle. Kroger, Meijer, CVS, Walgreens, Target, and Wal-Mart all sell them:

Moving sex toys from brown bag to grocery bag has proven successful for condom manufacturers like Lifestyles. . . . The new devices constitute the fastest-growing segment of the 35-year-old company’s business.
Lifestyles isn’t alone in diversifying its products and sales outlets. Also popping up on grocer’s shelves are vibrating rings and other sexual mechanisms such as “personal massagers” bearing familiar brands like Trojan and Durex, the No. 1 and No. 3 condom brands in the United States.

You need not be a prude to ask: Why should the dirty old man go to the seedy store in the Red Light District when he can just go next to the produce aisle for his “purchases”? There are reasons they have zoning laws, and this is one of them.
I like capitalism and the free market. But this is an example of capitalism without limits’ dark side and its contribution to America’s decline.
Would you like plastic or paper, er . . . brown bag?
What’s next–exotic dancing on Aisle Four?

. . . That the name of this woman (not Condi Clueless, but the one with the discolored hands from America-hating Code Pink) is:

Desiree Anita Ali-Fairooz

Video:

But I’m sure her surname has nooooothing to do with it. “Religion of Bloody Red Hands & Code Pinko”?
Well, they do like the red hands in that religion. Remember these bloody red hands? . . .

Civilization?: Palestinian Muslims Cheer on One of Their Own
After He Tore Israeli Soldier Apart Alive
If only Blackwater was there protecting Rice, this woman wouldn’t have gotten even close, but she’d have a bullet in her head by now. I’d say Rice was sorry she fired her top State Dept. security chief about the time the red hands came near her designer suit.
Bonus Video: The very enjoyable film of the arrest of one of these Code Pinko nutjob-ettes. Love hearing those fake screams. Send her to an Islamic country. Then, the screams will be real . . .

When I first wrote about First Lady Laura Bush’s latest Breast Cancer Awareness Tour of the Extremist Islamic World (redundant), I noted that Mrs. Bush’s PR team told the press that she would not, under any circumstances, don an Islamic headscarf or anything of the sort:

“They do not expect nor encourage it,” of Western visitors at official meetings, said Bush’s spokeswoman, Sally McDonough. “As members of the official traveling party, we will not need to wear any head scarves or abayas at any point.”

I didn’t buy it. And, as usual, my instincts were correct. This is Sheikha Laura, yesterday, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (thanks to reader “greatcometof1577”) . . .

And when I posted the absurd pics of her with two wholly-covered alleged breast cancer survivors in the United Arab Emirates, some readers remarked that at least she was “uncovered,” unlike Nancy Pelosi and Hillary in their Mid-East travels. Well, again, guess what? courtesy of the White House, Ta-da . . . .

One final pic from Mrs. Pander Claus’ trip to the Islamist Gulf. Here’s Laura Bush butt-kissing Saudi King Abdullah (the guy who insisted no women be present on the Waco, Texas airport Tarmac OR in the air traffic control tower, to which the Missus’ hubby acquiesced) and Campbell Brown’s ex-boyfriend, cold (is there any other kind of Saudi?)Saudi Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir (center). . .

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****
Meet my new hero, Oklahoma State Rep. Rex Duncan (and some other Oklahoma legislators who followed his lead). He knows what it means to defend your country against all enemies, foreign or domestic. Thanks to reader Bob S. for sending me this:

Oklahoma lawmakers object to gift of Qurans, return their copies to advisory panel
Associated Press – October 24, 2007 2:03 PM ET
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – A gift intended to promote diversity in Oklahoma is generating controversy instead.

Oklahoma State Rep. Rex Duncan: Saying No to Islamists–That’s Hot

Several state lawmakers are returning copies of the Quran to a state panel on diversity after one lawmaker claimed the Muslim holy book condones the killing of innocent people.
In a letter to colleagues, state Representative Rex Duncan says “most Oklahomans do not endorse the idea of killing innocent women and children in the name of ideology.” At least 17 other legislators have notified the Governor’s Ethnic American Advisory Council that they too will return the gift.

BINGO! They Get It.

The council’s chairwoman, herself a Muslim, is denouncing Duncan’s assessment of Islam. She says Islam not an ideology but a religion, and a “very peaceful, very inclusive” one.
In Washington, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations calls Duncan’s statement “disturbing” and “offensive.”

So sad, too bad–he offended an unindicted HAMAS-financing co-conspirator. BFD. The only thing “offensive” and “disturbing” is that there are far too few of those with the guts of these sagacious, laudable Oklahomans. I call it what it is–courageous and truth to power.
Right on, Rep. Duncan. You are a real man. There’s nothing sexier than this kind of courage. And it’s no small deal, since there is a big Muslim population in Oklahoma City.
All the PC, Islam-kowtowers throughout our governments–national, state, and local–need to learn the courage of this man. That includes the unelected and self-anointed like *ahem* YOU, Mrs. Bush . . . and your husband.
E-mail Rex Duncan to congratulate him on his courageous and gutsy move versus the Islamists.
**** UPDATE: Because of a glitch on my site, the e-mail address for Rep. Rex Duncan was not working before, but it is now. Please e-mail him to express your support. Also, some of you have asked about his background. Here’s a little bit about this true patriot with guts:
He is a Lieutenant Colonel in the OKlahoma Army National Guard, father, and self-employed attorney. More from his website:

Rex has served 28 years in the Guard, Reserves and active duty. He volunteered for active duty following 9/11 and served 16 months as a Special Forces officer with the Special Operations Command-Central. His duty assignments included Middle East and Horn of Africa. He currently serves as Battalion Commander of 2/189th Regiment, Regional Training Institute in Oklahoma City.
Awards and decorations include: Special Forces Tab, Ranger Tab, Master Parachutist Badge, Air Assault, Pathfinder and EIB badges and the Defense Meritorious Service Medal
POSITIONS:
Member, Global War on Terrorism Memorial Commission

**** UPDATE: Senators’ Washington, DC Phone #s Posted Below. Please Call to Oppose the Myers Nomination ****
Like her other confirmation hearing, incompetent and failed Immigration and Customs Enforcement recess appointee Julie L. Myers a/k/a “The ICE Princess” is keeping Tomorrow Morning’s Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing hush-hush. A confident, qualified appointee wouldn’t keep it a secret. But, then, she’s anything but those things.
Here is the list of Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee, complete with links to their websites and contact info. Please contact these Senators (whether or not you are a constituent), and not just by e-mail, but by phone. It’s far more effective. And please also e-mail and mention to them my New York Post article from last week about how Myers partied with Islamic terrorists, Hezbollah/HAMAS supporters, immigration defrauders.

STOP HER
Stop The ICE Princess nomination. That there is a second hearing on her is a good sign. It’s a second bite at this very rotten, worm-infested apple.
Your phone calls and e-mails are our insecticide against the malefactors she hung out with at the Hezbollah Social Club, last week.
**** Instructions for Calling Senators on the Myers Nomination:
Call the Senators’ Washington, DC offices. Ask for the Senators’ Judiciary Committee Staff person and tell that person to have the Senator vote no on Julie L. Myers. For Senator Schumer, for instance, ask for Elliot Williams.
As I’ve already noted, Texas U.S. Senator John Cornyn already traded his vote for Myers in exchange for her trading lesser raids on a large employer of illegal aliens in Texas. But call him anyway. Call all of the Senators. Stop the ICE Insanity.
Put an end to this unholy alliance . . .

The look-at-my-staged-saintliness celeb pseudo-humanitarians Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Voight are producing a new HBO series on humanitarian aid workers.
PBS called and they want their yawn-worthy programming back. Then, the two 68-year-old socialist cat-ladies who’d actually watch called and said they can’t watch it since they don’t have cable. Warm milk called, too. Doesn’t want to compete for insomniacs.
Somehow, I’m sure this boring idea will go over real well amidst HBO programming of R-rated movies and semi-porn episodes of “Real Sex” and “Tell Me You Love Me.”

Angelina Jolie
at pro-HAMAS Arab Children’s Conference Hate-Fest–Jordan, 2004
If HBO will run this tripe and the Jolie-Pitt Skankouple will produce it, that’s more evidence than we need that our tax-funding of PBS programming needs to finally end. It’s being replicated by those who can afford it far better than Joe and Josephine Sixpack.
Exciting.
Oh, and by the way, don’t be surprised if Skankelina’s precious Palestinians are featured front and center with the “humanitarian” (HAMAS)aid workers. As I’ve written, they’re among her faves.
Remember, if you like her, you’re a skank-o-phile.

Yesterday, Secretary of Pandering, er . . . State, Condi Clueless a/k/a Condoleezza Rice told Congress that she will force contractors like Blackwater to take “cultural awareness and sensitivity training seminars” (which you know will be added to the bill and U.S. taxpayers will be footing the propaganda, likely taught by unindicted HAMAS co-conspirators CAIR or ISNA).
Perhaps Condi Clueless’ memory is short. Perhaps she forgot that Blackwater–which has not lost a single U.S. diplomat and has done its job–already had quite a bit of Cultural Awareness training.
Remember This Cultural Awareness seminar, Condi?–The Fallujah Massacre of Four Blackwater Americans (Hello . . . ?):

Yup, Blackwater already got the necessary “Cultural Awareness” training . . . in spades. That’s Our Enemies’ Culture. Be Aware. Any Questions?
There’s only one person who needs to take this “sensitivity training,” and her name is Condi. Maybe her boss and his wife, too.
Here’s some more of Yer’ “Cultural ‘Wareness” Trainin’:


Palestinian Woman on Ramallah Street Cheers 9/11 Attacks.


Hezbollah Kids Trained in Nazi Salute

Again, That’s Their Culture. We’re Aware of It (at least, some of us are). Any Questions? . . .

Clueless Condoleezza’s Insensitive (to Dead Americans) Mid-East Sensitivity

By Debbie Schlussel
**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****
On Friday, I wrote about various major MSM reports that Jessica Seinfeld *ahem* “imitated” another author in writing her best-seller “Deceptively Delicious.” In those reports, the reps of Missy Chase Lapine–the author Of “The Sneaky Chef” who was *ahem* “imitated” by Mrs. Jerry Seinfeld–were reluctant to use the word “plagiarism” even though they clearly described that exact thing. Now, though, the accusations against Jessica Sklar Nederlander (1st Hubby until right after her Honeymoon she met Jerry) Seinfeld (2nd Hubby) have picked up steam, with Monday’s USA Today coming closest to using the P-word. No-one will actually use it with her, ‘cuz they’re all afraid of being banned by her hubby for future interviews.
Fatter Oprah Pandering To Phony Author Jessica Sklar Nederlander Seinfeld . . .

Versus Thinner Oprah Telling Off Phony Author James Frey . . .

Most noteworthy, the paper notes that Oprah knew the book was a rip-off but promoted it anyway, just like she did with James Frey (and then pretended to be mad on a subsequent phony sanctimony show against Frey):

“I’m surprised that on the Oprah show this was being touted as an entirely new technique pioneered by Ms. Seinfeld,” Lapine said Saturday. . . .
Moreover, she adds, “I’m concerned and troubled that Oprah credited and applauded someone else for a technique that was out there six months earlier.”
Winfrey was not available for comment. [DS: Gee, whatta surprise.]
Lapine says she and her publicists pitched the Oprah show five times without success. [DS: Maybe that’s ‘cuz Lapine didn’t give Oprah a starring role in “Bee Movie” and she didn’t send Oprah $20,000 in free Christian Louboutin Shoes, either.]

And all of this reminded me of one of the great episodes of “Seinfeld” involving . . . plagiarism. This is one case where Jerry Seinfeld’s life doesn’t imitate art. In real life, he’s defending wifey against the charges. But on the “Seinfeld” episode, “The Letter” (Season Three, Episode 21), he wasn’t so hesitant to call a spade, er . . . “imitation” spade, a “spade,” when his significant other ripped others off. Here’s part of the episode description:

On their way to meet Jerry’s new girlfriend, Nina [DS: Played by Catherine Keener], George complains that he is uncomfortable with Nina being an artist. Though Jerry insists he has nothing to worry about, when they arrive at the studio where she is working on a portrait of Kramer, George is intimidated into buying one of Nina’s paintings. Though Jerry has to decline her invitation, George and Kramer eagerly. . . . As a pair of art patrons debate the inner meaning of her portrait of Kramer, Nina argues with Jerry about their relationship and he suggests they stop seeing each other.
After receiving a letter in which Nina asserts that she intends on fighting to save their relationship, Jerry discovers it was taken from an old movie and he accuses his girlfriend of plagiarism. . . . Finally, Jerry tells Nina that he knows about the source of her letter.

Life Versus Art:
Jerry Seinfeld Called Out Plagiarist Nina (Catherine Keener) on TV . . .
But Defends Real-Life Plagiarist Jessica
Hey, Jerry Seinfeld, it looks like it’s time for your life to imitate your art of the same name.
But don’t worry, Jessica won’t get the treatment that “Nina” got. The sitcom Jerry Seinfeld dumped a new girlfriend almost per episode without cost, whereas the real-life Jerry Seinfeld is contractually stuck to this apparent plagiarist, with whom he has three kids.
And as I always say, the most effective form of free speech is pillow talk. That governs, absolutely, what he can and cannot say away from the pillow.
Plus, he’s got a new movie release to promote, and his wife’s apparent rip-off is taking away from his excellent new flick, his first major project in years. Great girl.
**** UPDATE, 10/24/07:
SEINFELD in Real Life on Jessica’s Plagiarism (from the New York Times):

Mr. Seinfeld, who joined his wife on the phone, said, “Let’s be realistic – my wife isn’t in this for the money or the publicity.” He added, “I really don’t think we have another Watergate here.”

SEINFELD in Sitcom on Nina’s Plagiarism (courtesy of the script posted on “Seinology“):

ELAINE: It’s Chapter 2, it’s Neil Simon.
JERRY: (on to something) Wait a second… wait a second!! (he watches the TV for another minute) The letter, that’s the letter!
ELAINE: What letter?
JERRY: This is the letter she wrote to me, she stole it right from the movie!
(Jerry get up to go find the letter. A second later, he returns, and starts reading in unison with movie on TV.)
JERRY: “…’cause you don’t even make the slightest effort to offer happiness still know that I love you!!”
GEORGE: This is incredible!
JERRY: I always thought there was something funny about this letter! She copied it right out of Chapter 2! She a thief, a bunko-artist!
GEORGE: Maybe I won’t send her that check.
ELAINE: You know, it’s not really that terrible.
JERRY: What are you talking about? She completely misrepresented herself! (mimicking the letter) I don’t offer happiness. I offer happiness! James Caan doesn’t offer happiness!
