driving miss clinton

after many hems & haws as to what to do about
the women of saudi arabia engaging in what has
been stated as “the largest women’s rights movement
in saudi arabia’s history,”
wherein saudi women have been getting behind the
wheel of cars
& driving
(as the country systematically bans all driving by female
inhabitants)---
crafty miss clinton has finally stepped up to the podium
in support of the women driving & blah blah blah,
but
making
certain
to
remind
us
that
"This is not about the United States, it's not about what any of us on the outside say, it is about the women themselves and their right to raise their concerns with their own government---

loosely translated,

“This is not about the United States and their relationship with Saudi Arabia’s oil producing apparatus, it must be made known that the women there are acting on their own behalf---we did not tell them to do this…oh please please please don’t raise the price of our oil! Please don’t take our oil away---really, we don’t care what they do, you know that Saudi Arabia---we’ve always been bosom buddies…always turned the other cheek when your family chops off the head or the hands of somebody who might have been gay or
drunk---hell, amputate away! Flog whoever you want! So women make up 5% of your work force, so what! We won’t use terms like “sex
segregation” or “gender apartheid,” we promise! Just please, please don’t take away our oil. Ok?”

thanks a bunch,

hillary rodham clinton,
fearless secretary of state.
