...but only 34 words on the cretinous, woman-hating, nuclear love-tube lusting government of Iran here.

Conslusion: Women get short shrift on Gawker.

So let me help, with a new storyline:

IranAm Girl Yells At System, We Are Conflicted

"Roxana Saberi, a 32-year-old Iranian-American journalist detained in Iran for more than three months, was freed this week after an appeals court suspended her eight-year sentence on charges of spying for the United States." - Pareene the Cajun Boy

It's easy to use "Code Journalist" as a shorthand for "mixed blood agendists who walk into a shitty country because they just know they can get a story out of it," because they are independent ladies in headscarves who scream at mullahs. But it's nice to see someone bug Roxana.

Here is a lady following our worst enemy ever right into the Tehran Kiss Ass Correspondents' Dinner reception, at the Men-Only Movers & Shakers Summit. She calls them Krazy Koran Kriminals, and chides them, and so on. As a blogger who happens to agree that Akhjaminidimmidah is a war criminal, we are all, "oh, lady, stop it, you'll get arrested and tortured and strung up just like the nearest gay guy, off a construction crane for all to see."

But, you know, the first time we went to this event, the Iranian KKK Dinner, we saw Ariel Sharon hanging out five shekels away from the Pope (they weren't together until later that night), in the Village News reception or something, wearing a little burkha over a saucy purple jock strap, fatted and engorged and at the satisfying end of a full and comfortable day checking out the nukes and underground techno, and Iranian porn.

And no one was shouting at them, and they was just having just a wonderful little time, and everyone-liberal, conservative, politician, journalist, crane operator, government beheader, contract beheadist, political rapist, or died-in-the-wool jihad jism-spewer-was polite or obsequious to them, and we just didn't really know what to think or do, in that situation, confronted with a President who'd killed 600,000 Iranian dissidents (or at least banned them from those world-class Islamist universities) and set up the US Embassy overrun for good measure. It's not our responsibility to arrest them, or even yell at them about how we support gay marriage in American and gay execution in Iran, but it's nice that someone is at least making these people uncomfortable by our Caucasian presence, when they go out in polite society, where they're are still welcomed with open arms and promises of virgins in hebbin. And they like how we'll support burning churches in the US just like we support segregated seating in mosques. Or at least, retiring to an evening of overclothing and beating women, even when the rape lust is down owing to the consumption of illegal alcohol. Even if the human rights groups making them uncomfortable is just confirming all their stereotypes about unhinged Leftists.

Update: According to Variety, Sharon was so flustered that he came to think of himself as a mere American!

The event drew nowhere near the sadism of the Khomeini years - one attendee called last year's event "glum and without the promise of seriously sadistic wife-beatings, divorces-by-death, and religious rape squads" - but figures like the corpse of Mani mingled at the pre-dinner parties. A beaming young Baha'i leader called 7-0 Romeo seemed unfazed as he entered to shouts of "Heretic! Burger eater! Gawker writer!" in his face. Asked about it by Variety, he threw his hands up in the air and said, "They are out front demonstrating about women... what Iranian men call animals, or "my Saturday night horse date."

Either that or Pareen's so deluded that it doesn't actually hear or process negative criticism.

Now back to campaigning for shoe-throwing dude's freedom. Where is he? Wha gwan? This dude started a MEME, people, a real, offline, out-in-the-world meme, he deserves liberty and great fame(also, he is awesome and his continuing detention underlines how our governments failed in Iraq).
