#1 Is Al-Mahmoud pronounced 'al mac mood'. Once clued I'm like a lazer.

#2 Sooo, what are we writing for? Her inclusion in Palestinian 'martyrdom' operations?(aka: murder)

Inquiring minds want to know.

#3 and Ahmed Ben Bella, former Algerian President and revolutionary leader

Whoa! Golden Oldie. I thought he had joined the choir invisible.

#4 Uh... Yvonne, I hear that Arafish is looking for boomers! Just dont forget to set the timer 1 hour ahead to avoid Zionist time.

Its hard to be too biased toward the boomers for Al-Jaz but she managed it.

#5 What's this "Sister" Yvonne B.S.? The article states she's a recent convert to Islam, so is she some twisted Muslim nun? Does she sing "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" from under her burkha?

#6 Dar LOL!

Visualize Blue Burkha Music Box playing "Climb Every Mountain".

Rich! We'll be rich I tell ya!

#7 It's just too, too sad. Poor little Yvonne has her dreams crushed by the chauvanism of the very chauvanist society she loved so much. Kinda pathetic.

Note to self: add M&S vouchers to Xmas shopping- and wishlists.

#8 Mr. Ballout, eh? What a name.

#9 Visualize Blue Burkha Music Box playing "Climb Every Mountain". Rich! We'll be rich I tell ya!

I'd throw away the fortune just to see OBL (Deceased ) face when he hears the burkha start playing.

#10 Her anti-Bush views are universally known and there are fears among colleagues that her vocal criticisms of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan may have led to her demise.

Well, that pretty much crushed any credibility she may have had as a "journalist". Time to start looking for a new career. Maybe she can move to San Francisco and become a professional protester.

#11 Bomb-a-rama: Ridley's credibility! Might as well look for unicorns. The Independent had a terrific interview with her in the spring. Fred posted about it, but the links no longer work (that was back in the days when it was free). I've reproduced some of the Independent's article here.

Caution: Many of the links in that post no longer work, including the link back to Rantburg.

#12 "rose to international fame" ? Kee-rist, at best she was a lunatic footnote. My god, how celbrity-hood has been dumbed down....

#13 Shipman, Dar:

Singing burkas, eh? Have a listen to this.

#14 It just never ceases to amaze me what some people will do for ATTENTION in this life. Sounds to me to be a perfect candidate for Dr. Walker and his crew.

#15 Jeez Mike how about a little coffee warning?

Some of the lyrics in Burka Blue include:
"You give me all your love, you give me all your kisses, and then you touch my Burka and do not know who is it"

Kinda catchy in a Tammy W. sort of way.

#16 I hope they follow up this hit single with "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Mustafah?"

#17 LOL

Even as we speak I am going thru my MAD cd collection for the Sound of Money Issue.

#18 How pathetic a newsperson do you have to be to get canned by AlJiz? Evidently, as pathetic as Yvonne.

#19 So, we should all write to Al-Jiz and congratulate them on FINALLY doing the "right thing"????

Firing this lady won't do anything for their reputation, but should relieve part of the stench.
