Hillary in Hijab in Cairo!

Laura Bush covered her head when in the Middle East as did Secy Rice, so give it a rest.

Uh-oh. Bare feet/cankles … Isn’t that punishable by public caning?

Yeah, Joanie in Brooklyn, they did.

I wouldn’t.

I’m sick of the one-sided concept of Westerners, especially women, having to be accommodating to their culture there and here.

Mr. Snobby is not my president. At the present I don’t have one. Seems Billary is well fed. Must have got some Porkulus.

@Cuss:
“apology tour”
Im not happy with that term at all.

Truth hurts I suppose…

Maybe we can call it: Graveling Tour 09′

You can be happy about that one. Apology was probably too loose a term.

@Aye Chihuahua:

They definately have the same expression, the camel’s hijab is more attractive and one more thing, that color(pant suit) is much more flattering on the camel.

Contrast his speech with Sarah’s……

Burka! how about a heavy canvas truck tarp?

Thanks Missy.

Traitors revealed and shameless, stupid, kissing the Ass of Islam.
Ivy League Traitors. Never served in the Military to Defend America.
Served Themselves and Fooled America.

Rope, tall tree, Traitor and some assembly required.

First commenter is right. Two years ago Laura Bush did the same thing. My husband is active duty Army and a counterinsurgency expert in religious leader engagements and he would say that that’s the right thign to do.

We need to pick the right fights. This isn’t one of them. John McCain waore a yarmeka during the election cycle when he visited Jerusalem last summer. I live in Korea as an Army wife. I take my shoes off whenever I enter a Korean restaurant or home. I bow to my Korean counterparts.

Obama and Hillary are doing the right thing here. ASk GEN Petraeus (whom my husband has worked for) and he’d tell you the same thing.

I just got done reading the condemnation of Playboy’s story and am confused as to why you and the commenters here think the superficial hate (albeit with different language) is any better directed at a different woman. I thought this was an issues driven site, not a name calling one.

@Sonic:

Wondering if you wrote Obama’s Cairo speech.

Mary and Joseph? No way, the relative ages are reversed and the gap too narrow.

Sonic, I’m only showing up here to offer you another female perspective. Don’t take this so dad’gummed seriously. This is just a guy/frat kind of post that occasionally gets done, and that I usually dodge because it’s a guy/bonding kind of thing.

Basically Mike’s view was… using a hijab to cover Hillary’s hair in order not to “drive men to a sexual frenzy” was underkill… that it should have been a burka, that covers pretty much everything. To summarize, it was a statement on the attractiveness/unattractiveness of Hillary.

Rather ironic a statement in that it’s a mirror opposite of reality, when you think of it… not to mention that no matter how “unattractive” Hillary is as an SOS, she is a beauty queen compared to Madeline Not-So-Bright.

Covering Hillary – or any of we older women types for that matter – would disguise flaws and leave more imagination to the males as to just what’s underneath (only *hopefully* driving them to a sexual frenzy… :0) Let it all hang out, and they’ve headed for the hills.

It’s a “fun” guy kind of post. And quite frankly, I don’t mind these deviations into guy’dom. The day they stop looking, we are all “dead” to sexual and physical appreciation. I think I’ve been one of the few females that relishes passing construction scaffolds to get the whistles. At least, at a distance, I can pass whistle muster… LOL

Besides, it’s human nature. And a trait I don’t want to see dashed in the name of “equality”. Hang equality. I miss the days when I was put on a pedestial and had doors opened, fer heavens sake! Besides, as an old broad, I still like to “look” and “appreciate” the same in males.

BTW, as a female, I can’t say I’ve been turned on by any of the male SOS’s either. Frankly, despite gender, they all look like nerds I’d avoid in the local singles bars. So Hillary is doing no better, no worse, than her predecessors.

Yo… what’s this “we” stuff, Kemosabi… er, Aye? You won’t find me engaging in a little “fun” at Hillary’s expense, mocking her aging appearance. Talk about opening a can o’ worms…. LOL I believe the rule of “kettle/black” may apply for we older women. As my uncle says… aging ain’t for sissies. Especially in the US where only youth is worshipped.

Is the OP majorly offensive to me? No. Is it somewhat tasteless and sophoromic in humor and origin? Yes.

Do I consider it “good natured”? Wouldn’t go that far either, Aye. Clearly that depends on your point of view, which is generally age/gender related.

It is what it is. Guy/frat humor mocking Hillary’s aging. I don’t defend it. Nor will I blanketly condemn it. I just ignore it as part of life between the sexes.

Yo… what’s this “we” stuff, Kemosabi… er, Aye?

Now Mata, you know that “we”, as in all of us of the conservative persuasion, have endured far, far worse from the fever swamps of the Left than the good natured (yes, I consider it good natured) needling directed toward Hills in this thread….I mean, no camels were actually harmed in the comparison which is, of course, the standard that was set by Sonic.

My remarks on this thread were not intended to be related to Mrs. Clinton’s aging process…..I simply observed that her facial expression and the color pant suit she chose reminded me of a camel.

Neither the OP nor any of the responses on this thread have a violent, harmful undertone. Nor is there a call for Hills to be sexually assaulted. In fact, one would be hard pressed to demonstrate anything hateful here.

That’s the comparison that Sonic tried to make. Talk about apples and oranges.
