Lauren Booth Converts to Islam After 'Holy Experience'

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s sister-in-law, Lauren Booth, has converted to Islam after a trip to Iran.

The 43-year-old broadcast journalist, who works for Iran’s English-language Press TV, said she had a “holy experience” while visiting the Fatima al-Masumeh shrine in the city of Qom, a “shot of spiritual morphine.”

Upon her return to Britain, she told British publication The Mail in an interview published Sunday that she decided to immediately convert to Islam.

“Now I don’t eat pork and I read the Koran every day. I’m on page 60,” she told the publication. “I also haven’t had a drink in 45 days, the longest period in 25 years.”

“I’m on page 60.”

I’M ON PAGE 60?

Good grief. THAT needs to be added to the Freeper lexicon, with the definition “see Clymer.”

"Ever counted the number of Catholics that were Nazis of the worst kind during WWII, starting with Hitler?"

FYI, Adolph was Excommed. So please don't call him a Catholic.

Must be something about that Booth family. Sheri Blair, her sister and Tony Blair’s wife was all for the ICC when some libs wanted to arrest Blair, Bush and haul our and Britain’s armed forces into an international court.

I think I saw her in Horton Hears a Hoo.

Hmm.. the face, the vacant eyes, the haircut - I think this is none other than Cindy Lou Who, all grown up. And still just as gullible as when she bought the Grinch's story about the Christmas Tree light problems.

Yep, the Grinch tale has many parallels to this story. Except for the redemption of the bad guy part, of course.

WTF is spiritual morphine? That makes about as much sense as spiritual cocaine!!
