What’s in a Headscarf? - Jay Nordlinger - The Corner on National Review Online
In Impromptus, I talk some about American feminists who wear headscarves in Muslim settings: Hillary Clinton, Cynthia McKinney. I say, among other things, “What message does the wearing of headscarves by American feminists send to women in the Muslim world who may wish to be free of this practice?” A reader chimes in, “Even more important, what message does it send to men who continue to subjugate women?” An excellent point.
Yes, Jay, we noticed.

Cynthia McKinney? Cynthia McKinney? Wasn’t she some kind of terrorist? Didn’t they arrest her trying to crash security at the Capitol?
Why on earth would you think that? Just because her face is a weapon of mass destruction doesn’t mean she’s a terrorist. And just because she sympathizes with Communists doesn’t mean they sympathize with her – they think she’s a useless idiot.
And regarding crashing security and insulting the guard, that doesn’t mean she’s terrorist, just an asshole. Which brings us back to her face.
Personally, I truly admire your self-restraint, Steve, but you don’t have to hold back like that… just go ahead and tell us how you really feel about Silly Cynthy.
Some people describe my style of polite discourse as unloading on someone with a 12 gauge. Me, I think that a 12 gauge would improve McCommie’s looks and brainpower. But maybe that’s just me.
(This should not be taken as a threat to the repulsive troll. With shells going at a dollar apiece and her being worth about a plugged nickel, she ain’t worth it.)
