This makes four separate posts we’ll have wrung from that dopey photo op. Greta’s contribution to the debate is noteworthy for two reasons. One, it confirms my suspicion from our first post that the Saudis surprised Laura Bush with the scarf as a gift, thus pressuring her to put it on out of common courtesy. And two, between the frequent ellipses, multiple question marks, erratic capitalization, and “get a life” colloquialisms, either Greta’s dictating her posts to an intern or she has fully internalized chatroom style.
I was there. Here are the facts…
at the end, the women presented her with a gift – a head scarf with pink ribbon on it (breast cancer pink ribbon)…Mrs. Bush, like any good guest, put the gift (the head scarf with the breast cancer pink ribbon) on her head….it was on her head about 2 minutes at most because we then all had to leave for Mrs. Bush next scheduled event….we got up and left….I would have been critical of her if she had not been a good guest and donned the scarf….it would have been incredibly rude to these womren….
so critics? get a life! (or here is another idea: get the facts right!)…
One more thing…for all those who were critical of Speaker Pelosi for wearing a head scarf ..now might be a good time to email her website and apologize for being petty……and then let’s move on?????
Exit question: Would Ayaan have put the scarf on in the same circumstances?
