Soulmates: Iranian Pilgrims, Democrat Donors

Pilgrims to the Imam Reza Shrine -- one of Iran's biggest tourist centers -- are getting a special holy offer according to Planet-Iran .com, which is a website devoted to translating news and documents from Persian to English and letting the rest of us see for ourselves the bizarre world of the ayatollahs.

The document, dated July 18, offers, well, temporary marriages since "Marriage is among the traditions of the Prophet Mohammad" according to the Shrine's "Bureau of Temporary Marriages".

The temporary "marriages" are to females between the ages of "12 and 35" and range in time from five hours to a whole 10 days. The shrinekeepers, of course, responsibly warn that for "sisters who are below 14 years of age, a written consent from their fathers or male guardians is required."

Now, before you start reacting in rage and horror to this practice -- especially if you should happen to be a Democrat voter -- you ought to be aware of another recent event that you probably missed in the dino media.

I can think of a couple Democrats, President's and Presidential candidates, who'd avail themselves of the benefits of temporary marriages were they available.

Well, she took our breakup pretty hard, the poor girl, and turned to prostitution.

More sickness from a diseased culture.

Alan Dershowitz, Roy Black and Kenneth Starr
Should be treated like the scum they are.

All she would need to make it OK is a blessing from the iman. She looks like she wouldn't need written permission from dad.

I can give Black some respect because he doesn't pretend to be holy and good.

The other two should go to work at an Iranian shrine.
