At RealClearPolitics I read the headline for a Salon piece by Juan Cole: "Palin, Muslim Fundamentalists are one and the Same." And I felt such relief. I was afraid they wouldn't like her.
Following the link, I saw the actual headline: "What's the difference between Palin and Muslim fundamentalists? Lipstick ." Not a very original line, Juan. I guess female Muslim fundamentalists are not allowed to wear make-up. That would make sense, I suppose, wearing veils in public and all. Surprising what you learn on the web. I think Juan Cole is an expert in this stuff. We need more of them. Will we get more of them if Senator Obama wins? Yes! And they will have real power, too.
