Pickles is off to create breast cancer awareness in, get this, the Middle East.

[Bozita]

Just heard on ABC's "World News Now."

Does being a Republicon require a complete detachment from reality?

I think I need a drink.

[XemaSab]

1. Whatt about Poland?

:shrug:

[piesRsquare]

2. Oh, geez!

Lock these people up, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?!?!?!

This is embarassing!

[Judi Lynn]

3. Apparently she hopes whatever women survivors are left won't get sick!

How compassionate of her!

[aquart]

4. Just tell me she's doing it in Baghdad.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. How will her program of breast cancer awareness play out in countiries where:

1. Women are more or less confined to their homes;
2. Women are not given much education, let alone allowed to attend university;
3. Women lack medical care because:
a. B/c of religious edicts, male physicians are forbidden from gynecological examination; and
b. There are rare if any female physicians who can do these examinations. (Refer to #s 1 and 2.)

6. What's next? Ovarian cancer in Darfur?

These people Just. Don't. Get it.

[Disturbed]

7. Whatever happened to her Great Mission to help the

women of Afghanistan?

[tanyev]

13. Done. Solved. Mission Accomplished.

Just like her work on the gang problem. A couple days of photo-ops, and snap! that woman is on to the next issue. She's so good, there's absolutely no need for any follow-up to measure her effectiveness.

8. You mean where the lump in the breast is more likely to be

a bullet than cancer?

[China_cat]

9. Sorry. Dupe

DU's been doing that a lot lately.

[madrchsod]

10. wow a real "rainbow tour"!

she`ll do anything to get away from her "husband".

[malaise]

11. Maybe she should have told George and his goons

to avoid using depleted uranium. :puke:

Then again look how many women they saved from breast cancer by killing them. :sarcasm:

[NNN0LHI]

12. Christ I hope she stays out of the Mosques this time

Protesters Greet First Lady

Laura Bush Visits Holy Sites In Jerusalem

JERUSALEM, May 23, 2005


(AP) "As you can tell from our day here, this is a place of emotions everywhere we went, from the Dome of the Rock to the Western Wall" she told reporters at the palace ruins.

As for the peace process, Mrs. Bush said the U.S. would do whatever it could, but that both sides share responsibility in helping achieve peace. snip

Anti-American sentiment is running high in the Mideast because of a variety of factors, including a now-retracted report in Newsweek that Pentagon investigators had found evidence interrogators at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, placed copies of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, in washrooms to unsettle suspects and flushed a Quran down a toilet.

"We in principle don't reject anyone's visit to the Al Aqsa Mosque (compound), but we see in the visit of Mrs. Bush an attempt to whitewash the face of the United States, after the crimes that the American interrogators had committed when they desecrated the Quran," the militant Islamic Hamas group said in a statement on its Web site.

Adnan Husseini, director of the Islamic Trust that administers the mosque compound, said Mrs. Bush tried to play down the heckling, saying it could have happened anywhere.
