Bush senior woman official: "I hate all Iranians."

Well, naturally. They're not Christianists. And they're not doing God's work. What's to like? UK Daily Mail:

British MPs visiting the Pentagon to discuss America's stance on Iran and Iraq were shocked to be told by one of President Bush's senior women officials: "I hate all Iranians."

The all-party group of MPs say Debra Cagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs to Defence Secretary Robert Gates, made the comments this month. [One] said: "She is very forceful and some of my colleagues were intimidated by her muscular style."

Right, then. Of course, the administration says the Brits are lying:
The Pentagon denied Ms Cagan said she "hated" Iranians.

"She doesn't speak that way," said an official.

But when The Mail on Sunday spoke to four of the six MPs, three confirmed privately that she made the remark and one declined to comment. The other two could not be contacted.

Counselor2909MOS_468x365 Sheesh, what's with the scarf? Looks like Ann Coulter's Adam's Apple should get together with Debra's, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Via the lovely, the talented Avedon, who wouldn't be caught dead in an outfit like that....

or some kind of scary creature from the republican lagoon, i'm not sure.

wow. nice choker. and, um, leather jacket with shoulder pads. those are shoulder pads, aren't they?

...i'm sure many of the trophy wives and hookers staffers and lobbyists working for republican interests are quite attractive, in a feminine way. i've seen and met quite a few.

"ms" cagan is from another stable of athletic supporters altogether.

someboday stop me, i'm being shallow and mean about appearances. how naughty of me.

I had the exact same thought: Dude looks like a lady.

someboday stop me, i’m being shallow and mean about appearances.

Um, not when she ostensibly represents the US and is an assistant to the SecDef. That's when looking like you're an extra out of "Cabaret" is not a good idea.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
