Politics makes for strange bedfellows, goes the old saying. That being the case, I hope Gloria Steinem has a bedtime burqa.

Via about.com:

Here's an irony to start your Iftar meal tonight: Saudi Arabia, where a woman must have permission from a male relative or her husband before traveling, will nevertheless run a Gloria Steinem column in its main English-language daily about the sufferings of American women (and their impending doom if Sarah Palin makes it to the White House). 

To be fair to Steinem, the column first ran in the LA Times, but all the same, the irony may be the tastiest thing the veteran feminist has ever half-baked.

I think it will be VERY interesting to see what, if any, reaction this elicit's from Steinem. 

Or is this a case of, as Doc Holliday said, "It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds."

Btw, great last sentence,"half-baked", Ha! :-}

that you have to go abroad to try and defeat your opponents instead of facing them head on...nice.
