Michelle Malkin has the details on president Bush’s latest press conference, in which he even flubbed a question about the blame-the-victim tactics used against a victim of gang rape in Saudi Arabia….

The real issue is getting the primitive mindset behind those rediculous rules changed.

I didn’t think so.

If the Saudis threatened to waterboard her, maybe then Dingy Harry and the feminist thumbsuckers would take up her cause.

Brilliant! Simply Brilliant!
The sad thing is no matter how much their insane double standards are mocked, they will not listen.

This is no less than slavery of the entire female sex in the Kingdom.

Meanwhile, the sound of crickets from the Left.

Feminist logic gives me a headache. I guess even militant chicks want cheaper prices at the pumps? I would at least expect a militant group of lesbians to choppah in and rescue her?

By popular request, this story from our ‘friends’ the Saudis. Sun:”The committee has met around 5,000 times to offer counseling to 3,200 people, who were accused of embracing the takfir ideology. The committee has successfully completed reforming 1,…

Exit question: If the judiciary’s independent of the monarchy, how is it that 1,500 “reformed” Al Qaeda jihadis just got paroled at a perfectly politically convenient moment, as the Saudis appear at the Annapolis summit?

Former president BJ Clinton has been paid over $600,000 for speaking engagements in Saudi Arabia. Chances are he devoted a few minutes to the political advantages of pardoning criminals acting against the better interests of the state.

Does the name Marc Rich ring a bell?

They were taught by the best. Der Slimemeister.

Why is it that when something like this happens to a woman that you think it is the sole responsibility of feminists to demonstrate against it. Seems to me it that its high time men to get out there and raise a stink as well.

And this is what struck home for the Feminist Bloggers Network (Note that it’s different from the story quoted above):

I don’t think I need to emphasize how disgusting and horrible this is; but I do think it’s interesting that the Western media is reporting that there was a singular rape victim, and saying things like, “Some liberal commentators said her sentence highlighted the justice system’s failure to treat women fairly.”

The Saudi justice system does fail to treat women fairly, there’s no question about that. But here’s what happened:

The young woman’s offense was in meeting a former boyfriend, whom she had asked to return pictures he had of her because she was about to marry another man. The couple was sitting in a car when a group of seven men kidnapped them and raped them both, lawyers in the case told Arab News, a Saudi newspaper.

Emphasis mine. The boyfriend was sentenced to 90 lashes as well; the only information I could find about his sentence was from Arab News, which states that the man decided not to appeal his conviction.

Dumb question:
Why aren’t we hearing from the feminazis about this?
Or any number of women’s rights organizations.

Yes that is a dumb question, since it has been asked (and answered) about a trillion times in the last 20 years.
