G*d bless Karnit Goldwasser

One of the most depressing aspects about this week was the quote I unearthed in a Tony Blankley article about Ahmadinejad’s visit to New York. This from an open-minded American Liberal:
“I know I’m a Jewish lesbian and he’d probably have me killed. But still, the guy speaks some blunt truths about the Bush Administration that make me swoon…
Okay, I admit it. Part of it is that he just looks cuddly. Possibly cuddly enough to turn me straight. I think he kind of looks like Kermit the Frog. Sort of. With smaller eyes. But that’s not all…
I want to be very clear. There are certainly many things about Ahmadinejad that I abhor — locking up dissidents, executing gay folks, denying the fact of the Holocaust, potentially adding another dangerous nuclear power to the world and, in general, stifling democracy. Even still, I can’t help but be turned on by his frank rhetoric calling out the horrors of the Bush Administration and, for that matter, generations of US foreign policing preceding.”
Cuddly? Looks like a Muppet? Turned on by his rhetoric? This is in no way an example of that illustrious “left wing irony”: It’s an example of someone who is so open-minded that her brain has fallen out of her head. Perhaps she should enter Democrat politics, then lead a group of fellow travelers to Iran to chat with President Kermit.
Thankfully, there was a small glimmer of hope. When I woke up this morning I saw a clip of Karnit Goldwasser, wife of Ehud Goldwasser – one of the IDF soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah – questioning the cuddly frog.
“My name is Karnit and I’m the wife of Goldwasser that was kidnapped by Hezbollah to Lebanon more than a year ago and you’re responsible for this by your support. I’m asking how come you’re not allowing the Red Cross to go to visit them?
How come you’re not answering me?”
Excellent question. Mrs. Goldwasser’s microphone, however, was turned off and she was “escorted” from the room. This in the land of free speech. Of course, hers wasn’t the only question ignored by our infamous guest and, like these questions, this clip, this story will be ignored, too.
