Right Wing Smears Pelosi As ‘Subservient’ For Wearing Scarf - What About Laura Bush?

Yesterday, right-wing Internet gossip Matt Drudge posted a photo of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wearing a headscarf while visiting the tomb of John the Baptist inside the Umayyad mosque in Damascus.

As Mahablog points out, the right-wing is now seething:

HotAir: “The campaign commercial practically writes itself. Ah well. A woman must know her place when entering a mosque. … It pains the left too, I’m sure, to see the most powerful woman in America having to yield, however slightly, to a misogynistic culture’s expectations, but they can’t vent their anger at the people responsible so they’ll vent it at Charles or me or whomever instead.”

Instapundit: FEMINIST IN AMERICA, subservient in Syria.

The New Editor: “This picture disgusts me. What message is Nancy Pelosi trying to send? Are women equal to men, or not? Why is modesty foisted only upon women?”

Little Green Footballs: “Pelosi in a Hijab. The modern Democratic leadership. How … quaint.”

Apparently they never saw Laura Bush when she visited al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem: (Think Progress)

Is it hypocritical for rightwing propagandists to condemn Nancy Pelosi for wearing a scarf in a mosque when they said nothing about Laura Bush doing the same thing?

Yes
No
Doesn't matter (Laura Bush is not an elected official.)

Yes. Nancy did the right thing. Bush, Cheney, Rove...they'd all have us living in a climate of fear. How can the biggest Superpower be so petty and paranoid? We should be diplomats, not war hawks. Nancy is totally right to engage Iran, Syria and all nations, since it's better to cooperate with each other and to be on friendly terms with all nations.

The excerpt mentions Drudge, HotAir, Instapundit, The New Editor, and Little Green Footballs. How many more do you want?

Here's Laura Bush wearing a head scarf at the Wailing Wall, in Jerusalem.

Certainly, no rightwingers are going to object to Laura showing respect and deference to that particular faith.

Nancy Pelosi is wearing a scarf out of respect for Islam -- she doesn't have to, but she is a rational diplomat who realizes her effectiveness would be limited if she were to ignore Islamic traditions.

Condi Rice could take a lesson from this. If you are a diplomat, be diplomatic.
