Blogging the democratic revolution
Confirming strongly our theory that the babes go where the heart of the action is. At the Iraq war counterrallies this weekend to defend Iraqi freedom and stand up for U.S. troops, there are some spectacular examples. Go see it here.
Harry Hutton has a whole gallery of these Colombian FARC-slaying babes of politics. These women are anti-narcotics cops in the belly of the world’s worst narcotics beast, women who are winning Colombia’s war on terror without any need for U.S. troops. And, yes, they do have looks. For FARC’s ugly phony-revolution guerrillas, these real revolutionary women who are transforming Colombia into a great nation, against all odds, are fearsome indeed. See Harry’s whole gallery of babes here.
Today’s Wall Street Journal has an in-depth essay today on the Babes of Politics theory, developed in depth here at Publius Pundit, at WILLisms and at Gateway Pundit. It’s excellent. Read it here.
In the interest of continuing the elevation of debate, I think it’s about time to once again tackle the issue of swim suits in Saudi Arabia. You will want to read the first post if you haven’t, which deals with what exactly these swim suits look like, and then the second post, which deals with the discussion that erupted because of it. Stefania dropped an image off that explains everything perfectly. Just click here. That’s right, folks, another reaffirmation that Publius is not a blog to be showing your kids before bed time.
Daniel Berczik remember’s that yesterday was Ukraine independence day, which doesn’t bode well for we who didn’t remember at all. So to make up for it, in an ever-increasing desire to raise the level of discourse here at Publius, here is Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko’s hot daughter dressed down in black leather during the festivities. Let me introduce you to Yevgenia Tymoshenko, aged 25, someone who obviously has her mother’s genes.
It seems that my post on sexy Saudi swimwear has turned into something of a blogospheric debate. Our good friend Stefania over at the Free Thoughts blog posted on the swimwear as well, and it triggered some disagreement with Egyptian blogger Miss Mabrouk, who says that we were being culturally insensitive and the real issue is modesty. My post got linked under the word “disrespect.” Ouch. In any case, Stefania wrote another post responding to Miss Mabrouk in which she lays out how it isn’t really about modesty, but how women should have the choice of whether they want to…
A young Mexican politician, Gabriela Cuevas Barron, 26, is fighting the onslaught of Hugo Chavez-style communism in Mexico by opposing the candidacy of leftwing PRD presidential contender Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. She continually exposes his sorry record – the bribes, the payoffs, the padded invoices, the neglected police services, the welfare handouts, and the corruption. She dogs him with lawsuits, press briefings, photographs, inconvenient questions in congress – and anything else that will expose his way of business. What is she doing? Something called democracy. Mexico’s angry voters need to understand the extent of the existing corruption with AMLO so…
I kid you not. Here they are, in Cologne, Germany, for the World Festival of Youth: Oh Benedict! You’re so dreamy!
Looking for beautiful women in bikinis? Try Monterrey. Definitely don’t look in Saudi Arabia. Check out the latest summertime fashion in Riyadh. Hat tip to Light Seeking Light. Click here for the rest of this tantalizing assortment of swimsuits. UPDATE: Now here we go. The Religious Policeman does a mock interview with the Saudi Minister of tourism: RP: So men and women will be able to go swimming up there? M: Certainly RP: Together? M: I didn’t say that. Swimming together, as you know, is un-Islamic. Most hotels only allow the men to go swimming. However there are one or…
Something from Val over at Babalu blog. I think she’s trying to tell us something. See it here.
There they are, Chavista Cheesecake at the Chavez Youth Festival, posing away in exclusive photos for a blog site called ‘Chase Me Ladies, I’m In The Cavalry.’ Boy are they gonna be in trouble when the comrades on the block committees back in the barrios find out. There goes the party card. Harry has more here. UPDATE: Whoops, forgot a Chavista babe – Boli-Nica has a photo of Evo Morales cavorting at the Chavez Youth fest here.
Look at the search results from the past hour to this website, and tell me there aren’t people out there who love Yulia just as much as we do. 01 Aug, Mon, 09:33:24 Google: Yulia Tymoshenko Pictures 01 Aug, Mon, 09:33:49 Google: Yulia Tymoshenko nude 01 Aug, Mon, 09:34:57 Google: Yulia Tymoshenko pictures 01 Aug, Mon, 09:36:28 Google: pics of Yulia Tymoshenko 01 Aug, Mon, 09:37:15 Google: Yulia Tymoshenko pictures 01 Aug, Mon, 09:37:30 Google: Yulia Tymoshenko photographs 01 Aug, Mon, 09:38:57 Google: In a Ruined Country david samuels 01 Aug, Mon, 09:41:48 Google: pics of Yulia Tymoshenko 01 Aug,…
Forbes presents to you t a list of the 100 most powerful women in the world. This goes without saying, but not only is Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice the most powerful woman in the world, but she uses it to advance the most important cause there is: the advance of freedom. She is joined by Ukrainian Prime Minister and Orange Revolutionary Yulia Tymoshenko, ranked third on the list. And Burmese freedom fighter and nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who to this day remains under arrest, ranked number fifteen on the list. This is a tribute from Publius to…
I kid you not. As corrupt, thuggish and stupid as they are ugly. Miguel has much more here. As an antidote, feel free to compare and contrast.
OK, so it’s a bit of a stretch to put this under babes of politics, but I think you’ll let this one go: Pounding a beat, pistol in hand, an Iraqi woman soldier is a novelty in Baghdad: Pounding her Baghdad beat, wrapped in a bulletproof vest and brandishing a pistol, Sgt. Bushra Jabar definitely stands out in the new Iraq. She’s the only woman in the Iraqi Army unit patrolling the Kharkh district in the heart of the capital. … Her day starts with a ride to her base in the back of a military pickup truck. She’s wearing…
We have often speculated about who and where Cuba’s Babes of Politics, the women opposed to the Fidel Castro regime, are. I have found them, I will leave you with their riveting story opposing Castro and a NYT photo that takes care of business: Quote from one of the dancers: “An artist will always be a revolutionary in the whole sense of the word,” Mr. David said, “because he’s always trying to change things, but through culture, not politics.”
The leader of the Christian political party Lebanese Forces, who has been in jail for over eleven years, has been given parole by the new parliament, thus securing one of the major demands of the original anti-Syrian opposition. Church bells rang across Lebanon’s Christian heartland Monday as parliament overwhelmingly passed a parole bill that put Lebanese Forces commander Samir Geagea on the homestretch of his race to freedom, hopefully by the end of the week. Long convoys of cars with honking horns joyously toured the streets of Besharri, Geagea’s hometown in north Lebanon’s cedar mountains and around his house in…
Danish protest babes are out in full force, waving the American flag. You have to see it to believe it. They don’t make many protest babes like that, but there they are, standing up for U.S. democracy. Our friend Gateway Pundit has it here. Hat tip: Instapundit
Daniel has located the Babes of Caracas who were out in abundance today in Venezuela. And every single one of them despises Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez to an extent we can only dream about. What is the purpose of posting such photos? To prove that the revolution is real. The winds of change blows where the young women go, the old have the cares of the world to take care of first. The young think about things like governance and other abstractions. After all, they are going to be the ones who must live with whatever result there is the…
Brilliant Italian journalist Oriana Fallici explains why she’s a revolutionary in an amazing interview with Tunku Varadarajan of the Wall Street Journal editorial page. “In the beginning, I was dismayed, and I asked, how is it possible that we do not have Cavour . . . just one Cavour, uno? He was a revolutionary, and yes, he was not of the left. Italy needs a Cavour–Europe needs a Cavour.” Ms. Fallaci describes herself, too, as “a revolutionary”–“because I do what conservatives in Europe don’t do, which is that I don’t accept to be treated like a delinquent.” It’s all good.…
This is big. Keep reading, you’ll see why. Hundreds of women staged an unauthorized demonstration in Tehran today, protesting sex discrimination under Iran’s Islamic leadership just days before the June 17 presidential elections. The protest was the first public display of dissent by women since the 1979 revolution, when the new regime enforced obligatory veiling. “We are women, we are the children of this land, but we have no rights,” they chanted. More than 250 marched outside Tehran University, and about 200 others demonstrated two blocks away after hundreds of riot police swarmed in and barred them from joining the…
Alek Boyd has Mary Anastasia O’Grady’s superb WSJ essay on Venezuela’s courageous freedom fighter Maria Corina Machado, who she is, and what she is up against in dictator Hugo Chavez’s nightmare regime. Read it here.
Miguel in Caracas, Venezuela has a fantastic picture show, comparing and contrasting the people George Bush associates with, and the people dictator Hugo Chavez associates with. Take a good look and draw your own conclusions about who’s the democrat, who’s the authentic revolutionary. Go see the amazing photos here.
George Bush has a way of surprising dictators. He gets in their faces when they least expect it. He’s bold. He says what he means and means what he says. Nice to see a real man. Today he symbolically snapped a great wet towel in the face of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. Bush openly met with Venezuelan dissidents, like Babe Of Politics, Maria Corina Machado, giving the NGO leaders from Sumate the full White House tour and VIP treatment, making sure there were lots of cameras around to see the intention. Bush doesn’t do nuance. He likes people who like…
Today’s 20-year verdict against Schapelle Corby, supposedly for drug possession and drug running on the island of Bali, has radicalized a major part of Australia. The 27-year-old surfer insists she didn’t do it, but was the victim of an airport smuggling ring that forgot to retrieve its pot from her boogie board bag. Conveniently for them, the film of the baggage sequence has disappeared from airport custody. And no fingerprints were taken from the pot, something Schapelle says would exonerate her. Meanwhile, Indonesia tried her with a real charmer of a judge who said he didn’t believe in acquitting anyone…
