Great Satan In a Red Dress - CORRECTION, see below
Top American diplomat Condoleezza Rice managed to terminally offend Iran's foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, at a state dinner in Egypt, by wearing Western clothing: to wit, one red dress. He fled the room, shrieking that she was "dressed too revealingly," as AP puts it.
"I don't know which woman he was afraid of, the woman in the red dress or the secretary of state," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Friday.
Rice and Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki met earlier at a lunch Thursday but exchanged only pleasantries. Neither appeared ready to make the first move for a real meeting.
"You can ask him why he didn't make an effort," Rice told reporters Friday. "I'm not given to chasing anyone."
If Squeaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Haight-Ashbury, 95%) were present, would she have offered to let Condi borrow her chador? Nah... the diminutive robes of the squeaker couldn't possibly fit the statuesque secretary of state.

この間、民主党の下院議長のナンシー・ペロシ女史がシリアを訪問した時、イスラム教の男尊女卑のしきたりに迎合して頭にヒジャブを被り素顔で大統領と会談し、その写真が世界中で報道されてアメリカ国民に屈辱的な思いをさせた。 しかしその自虐的な姿とは対照的に、今回エジプトを訪問中のコンデリーザ・ライス国務長官の姿はすばらしい。もともと美人なこともあるが、ライス女史は真っ赤な口紅もさわやかなお化粧ばっちりの顔に黒のパンツスーツ姿でシリアのサダト大統領との会談にあたり、その毅然とした姿はアメリカ女性の誇りを代表する... [Read More]

Actually, it was the violinist who was wearing the red dress, but the same principle applies. By the looks of the photo, Ms. Rice was wearing a black dress. Who knows? Maybe the violinist was a cross-dresser. That could be offensive to many people.
No ... wait ... that couldn't be it, because then everthing would be copacetic under Sharia. What, with men dressing whatever way they damn well please and all. Nope, it must have been your garden variety Western harlot "what killed the beast." Or scared it at least.
