"No," Sally McDonough, the first lady's spokeswoman tells USA TODAY's David Jackson, adding: "they do not expect nor encourage it" of Western visitors.

Condoleezza Rice and Madeleine Albright didn't wear head coverings when they visited Riyadh on official business, according to the photographs in our archive.

Bet you ~ you can see the publicity wheels turning already.

As steaming pile, she would do more good "spreading" on the pasture like the POS she enables

But it is soooo safe there, the repukes tell us!

They'll hate us even more after The Murderer ("where are the keys to my IMPALA? Somebody needs to be taught a lesson!") Laura makes an appearance.

She should just stay in her suite at The Mayflower until it's time to move to Crawford Paraguay.

home in Dubai?

and see the world one more time before she fades into history

:sarcasm:

Or she gets to leave him at home.

Desperate Measures. Can you hear rove saying.."send pickles to the Middle East..she's got the hightest polls which aren't in the toilet's like ya'll's."

:puke:

Yesterday * said “Plus,” he added wryly, “I’d be single.”in response to a kool-ade drinker lamenting * wasn't able to run again. Now pickles is off to visit a fast burning lit fuse racing to the ammo dump? - You've seen the movies.
