"The official, Barack Obama who declined to give details on Wednesday's call, spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose the private conversation." He said; don't let anyone know it was me letting you know I called her.

Say what you will about Brother Obongo there, but at least it is some thing that PRESIDENT CLINTON would never be able to do, without becoming a hypocritical, international LAUGHINGSTOCK.

What did she do to deserve the rape? Fail to wear a headscarf? Show ankle? Walk around without a male relative?
Well, the Islamic Courts of Egypt should find her guilty of Adultery (unless she can find three witnesses) and have her stoned to death.

Exactly right. Clinton’s phone call would have involved putting “ice on that” or some such. I give Obama a pass on this one.

“Lara...this is Barack. Listen, we can’t have stories of violence getting in the way of the narrative of peaceful, democracy-loving Arabs celebrating the liberation of Egypt, now can we? So I want you to release a statement clarifying the incident that happened to you....You, you slipped and fell...or maybe they mistook you for a..a Tea Party member...or, uh, maybe they were just so excited they mistook you for Sarah Palin...y’know just tell ‘em something. Anything but the truth. You’d do that for your country, wouldn’t you Lara? Just make something up. You folks in the media are good at that....Well, gotta go, before Michelle hears me talking to you and tries to throw a can of Pepsi Max at my head. Okay? Bye.”
