Juan Cole: Women, SC Nominee Roberts, and the Regression of Women in Iraq

Juan Cole has an excellent piece up on all of the above here.

Juan is very accurate when he puts it as "Bush's war on women". Time and time again, he shows that while he may depend on a Karen Hughes and a Condi Rice, he has no respect for the gender.

But let's face it: Bush shows monumental disrespect for almost everything, from the truth to the sacrifice of soldiers, to the Iraqi and Afghan people as a whole, to the quality of life (where frozen"snowflake babies" matter more than living human beings), to education, the environment....Man, the list is exhausting. Would be easier to note the few things he does indicate some modicum of respect for, like Karl Rove. ::cough::
