Photoshop montage of Hillary as Ilsa - She Wolf of the SS
"Will Hillary Clinton, who sits on the Senate Committee on Armed Services set to browbeat Donald Rumsfeld today, apologize for the photo of the female guard leashing a Muslim male?" asks George Neumayr in The American Spectator:
Where did the female GI ever get such an idea -- at the March for Women's Lives? Hillary Clinton spoke at that vile event and wasn't shocked by the crude behavior there. Why is she so shocked now?
The Democrats don't want this to ever happen again? Okay, let's discuss Bill Clinton's Don't ask, Don't tell, Don't care policy. Could that perhaps have something to do with indiscipline in the ranks? No, that's not a permissible thought, according to the Democrats. We must close our eyes to the obvious lest the march of progress in the military grind to a halt.
Nor will the Democrats permit their vision of a unisex military to be a matter of debate. Even if the clock is broken, we must not turn it back. The female GI who tried to turn that prison into a pound personified Bill Clinton's unisex military perfectly: it is difficult to tell if she is a man or a woman . . .
But perhaps Hillary Clinton can at least explain to her fellow members of the Armed Services Committee the pressing military importance of unisex policing in Muslim countries. Surely the Democrats so sensitive to the feelings of the "world" can promise the Muslim world that they will no longer advocate making American women the jailors of Muslim men? Or does promotion of women in the military trump their customary multicultural sympathies?
[via Lucianne, whose reader SallyVee asks "Wonder if Hillz-bollah will wear the pink pants suit today?"]
Excuse me? The women's movement, homosexuals and one Democratic Senator are responsible for "indiscipline" in the military? I'm confused. I thought the Secretary of Defense and the Commander in Chief were in charge...

Hi, Lori -- The point being made here is that political correctness has hogtied our institutions so that no one dares mention that the emperor is wearing no clothes.
I hadn't, myself, really focussed on "what is wrong with this picture" in quite this way until I read Mr. Neumayr's essay. Putting female guards in charge of male prisoners defies common sense in any context, but all the more so in a mysogynist setting like the one at hand.
Interesting, though, that one would expect political correctness to call for sensitivity to Muslim custom. But in this case, leftist feminism apparently trumps multiculturalism.

Hi, Sis -- I understood perfectly, thanks, but I appreciate your thoughtful reply. :-)

That picture is without a doubt one of the most deeply disturbing things that I have ever seen.
I haven't seen manboobs like those since I accidentally wandered into a truck stop shower stall during Michael Moore's half hearted bi-annual scrub.
