Yes, Donny, I think I wll send her an email.
Plsmith and I can accompany her... Are you ready too, Donny? Maloney wants a photo op...we can provide it for her. She is on the wrong track with this bruga thing.

Ah, you funny, funny people... now I'm going to have to email Carolyn Maloney and demand that she appear before the Senate (or was it the House?) topless.
Gawd, I love America...
edited to add that I'll have to admit to being a poor speller...

"You gonna demand an aisle seat on the bus, Donny?"
Naw, has to be a window seat, so I can... wave... at passerby. Gotta nurture that mean streak.
Not that that takes a lot of doing, I get more crotchety and cynical every day. Not to hurt James' feelings, I'm sure he's sincere about being a sensitive enlightened guy and all, but everytime I hear these politicians and talking heads going on about how these women are oppressed and how terrible it is and how we have to do something about it, I can't help but be in awe of how quickly this has become such an issue for us. Geez, there's a wellspring of concern for women that I'd never suspected existed. And what with these tens of thousands of sandwiches we're throwing at these millions of people, and Maloney willing to go through the production of donning the burqa, I just get to feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Or something.

If it's gonna be something, I demand it be anthrax, like everyone else. Why should I have to settle for second-best?

Actually Carolyn Maloney and others have been speaking out in congress and in public against the Taliban's treatment of women for years. Just because it has taken 9/11 to bring it to the attention of some here, does not make this a new issue by any scope of the imagination. Jess
