Where's Laura now?UPDATE - 11/23: State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said on Monday that the administration was "astonished," but had "nothing else to offer".RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: A Saudi court sentenced a 19-year-old woman victim of gang rape to six months in jail and 200 lashes — more than double than in her initial sentence for being in the car of a man who was not her relative, a newspaper reported Thursday.
Where's Laura Bush and her old man now? We all certainly know of the Bush's close, and long-lasting, friendship with the Saudis, so of course, we are surprised they have 'nothing else to offer'.
And in the meantime, while Bush fiddles -- Democrats speak up;
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) states, "I urge President Bush to call on King Abdullah to cancel the ruling and drop all charges against this woman." In a letter to Condoleezza Rice, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) wrote, "I strongly urge the Department of State to condemn this ruling." Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) and John Edwards released statements expressing their outrage.
