OOPS! - Woman of Chutzpah Update

Amateurs!

Woman of Chutzpah Update - By Mark Steyn - The Corner - National Review Online
3-7-13

As I mention below, Michelle Obama and John Kerry’s presentation to Samira Ibrahim of the U.S. government’s “Woman of Courage” Award (scheduled for tomorrow) has been put on hold pending belated State Department investigation of various tweets damning Jews, favoring Hitler, and expressing the desire to see America burn.
Miss Ibrahim says her Twitter account was hacked. This seems technically improbable.
Is the government that investigated Miss Ibrahim and decided she was a fit person to meet the first lady and get a gong from the secretary of state the same government that investigates you and decides whether you need to be vaporized by a drone? Or is that an entirely different level of checks and balances? 

Michelle Obama to Give Award to Woman who said, “Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning”

There are two reliable things you can count on about the Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award.
1. The awardees will mostly be Muslim women… because no other women anywhere else are courageous.
2. Some of the courageous awardees will support terrorism.
That has been true in the past and it’s still true now.
