... But apparently Saudis are pissed about it, claiming she covered her head in Indonesia but not in Saudi Arabia.  And apparently her face was blurred on Saudi TV.

Is this "apparently" like the "apparently Obama wasn't born in the US," or is there some evidence behind the Republican inanity this time?

Or maybe I should have said: "obviously"

They don't require evidence.

Martinus likes to jump on minor one-ups like that to get some of the reflected glory since he is quite incapable of any wit himself.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I don't think Marty is that sharp. :XD:
I think Mart is, at least in this case.  Poles are experts on this subject after all.

Actually, I admit that was accidental. :P

Maybe she was just suffering from jet lag.

Of course that actually didn't happen. Check your snopes, people.

I can't believe the motherfucking Republicans are shitting on Michelle for that.

I think she did the right thing.

When Obama did the opposite and bowed, they also shat on him. I bet if Michelle wore a headscarf these fucks would conclude the Obamas are Muslim after all.

What a bunch of fucking faggots.

I thought I had convincinly proven Barack Hussein Obama is a muslim in that other thread....

You haven't even convincingly proven that you are a Jew.

Well, the use of "obviously" would have cost you very little credibility.



It would have cost you all the credibility you have, but very little credibility overall.
