RIYADH, Saudi Arabia— A Saudi court on Saturday sentenced a female journalist to 60 lashes after she had been charged with involvement in a TV show in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex.

Rozanna al-Yami, 22, is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be given such a punishment, but there were conflicting accounts about how the court issued its verdict.

Al-Yami, who worked as a coordinator for the program but has denied working on the sex-show episode, told The Associated Press it was her understanding that the judge at the court in the western city of Jiddah dropped the charges against her. They included involvement in the preparation of the show and advertising the segment on the Internet.

I’d ask you what a cootie skank was, but I’d be terrified of the images you would post....

[Snurple]

Please. Stop. Now.

"Unfortunately, it would be Coulter, Malkin, and Ingram who got the lashes here."

My guess is they would shoot first and not be violated. Any of those three have more guts than the coward in chief.

No doubt it will be broadcasted live on the Saudi pay-per-view BDSM channel.

Yeah I’m still curious about the 28 pages that Bush redacted from the 9/11 report.

What are you talking about a bra? The Virtue/Vice PD would rip the burqa off her, make sure she wasn't wearing a bra, and the lash her on the spot for public indecency.

wow, don’t get any hotter than that! LOL! But seriously folks, what a wonderful, tolerant ‘’religion’’ Islam is, eh? I’d like to see some of those brave, man-hating femminists try putting on the “Vagina Monolouges’’ in Saudi Arabia. The Muzzies over there would just love that!
