Monday, October 03, 2005 Sister Joan Chittister Bitchslaps Karen Hughes Nat'lCatholicReporter: "Hughes went to Turkey and Saudi Arabia this week to talk to women about the blessings of having a US presence in their lives. The implication was obvious: Thanks to the USA, happiness was on the way. The effect of the speeches was shattering. Silence. No applause. No celebrations. Instead, Turkish women told her, "You cannot bring in war for the sake of peace. The US cannot interfere in the democracy problem and solve it through war." And Saudi women (who she promised would soon be able to drive cars) told her that they were happy, thank you, and that they didn't need America to make their lives complete and that, frankly, they would be a lot happier if she just went home." Sister, you so rock. |
