Little Lynndie England, that dog-leash pulling, prisoner-taunting, trailer-park girl from West Virginia, is now officially on the list of great female evildoers of all time, a roll call dating all the way back to Eve.

By the time the Pentagon is done, at least judging from the tone and nature of U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his generals' testimony before House Armed Services Committee on Friday, this diminutive dominatrix of Iraqi prisoners, whose name and face is now known the world over, will be burned at the stake.

That's assuming she survives her public stoning.


Yeah! WV has another claim to fame!

1. Actually, pay attention to this

There is a disproportunate amount of attention heaped on women when they are the minority presence.

No one notices, not even the feminists. Do you think if they were mostly Blacks it would be more obvious? Guess they can't get away using that scapegoat anymore.

2. I've noticed and I'm pissed.

It's seems to be happening more and more lately. She is not without guilt, but the blame is being heaped upon her disproportionately when compared with her level of involvement (high profile, low input).

Glad someone else is noticing.

3. I just hate that they keep bringing up the WV trailer park angle

the state gets enough bad press without this whole implied stupid redneck thing going on as well
