#1 I doubt seriously that the women's movement in the US will welcome her with open arms,,,they're more partisan than concerned about women...this woman could teach them a thing or two about true discrimination

#2 I'm consistently amazed at the expertise gathered here, so what's the deal on Rita Verdonk - a consistent stickler in such matters or trying to rid the country of a perceived troublemaker?

#3 CG, as I understand it, recently the Verdonk ruled that a Turkish asylum seeker had lied on her application, and ordered her out of the country. The case became a cause for the left, and they were horribly pissed over the case.

So, a left-wing TV station re-hashed what was already known about Hirsi Ali's past -- that she had used a different name, and that she had tried to seek asylum in other countries -- and tossed in a tear-jerker interview with the fellow she was being forced to marry. They treated it all as new information, a shocking expose'.

So the left started screaming for her to be "treated the same way". Verdonk was apparently cornered and rather than try to explain the differences, caved.

#7 Verdonk also gets rid of competition in the party.

#8 She's Coming to America, ex-lib.

Fascinating that Verdonk & Friends will even consider this action against Ali - which was common knowledge - quibbling like the pathetic green eye-shade bankers they are - yet do little or nothing about the real enemies in their midst.

Disgusting cowards.

#9 America?! Fantastic! Rantburgians should throw her a party!

Idiot Dutch. We saw United 93 and there was this Dutch or German guy who really messed things up by trying to "go along" with the terrorists--it was archtypal.

#10 Archtypal of the way the treny Euros are approaching the terrorism thing and the soon-to-be destruction of life as they know it.

#11 trendy, that is

this antibiotic has taken most of my brain with it . . . and I had precious little to spare in the first place.

#12 Well - I guess there's no reason to celebrate:
