From Silky Satin to Full-Body Burqa

Just a short distance from a to b

Paul K., over at View From the Right has made a funny spoof of my ladies of the French Cabinet. He has covered them up in the most conservative form of Muslim garb, the burqa. But, as with all good jokes, this is not far behind reality (or what could be reality). As Indian Living in the West writes at VFR:

The French socialists are worse than a sick joke...And these women are worse than ridiculous. Imagine a contrast between these women and Mrs. Thatcher. It is almost as though a few centuries separate them, not a few decades.

This is, in any case, a sideshow. The extent of the problems facing France are no longer a well hidden secret. France is on its way to bankruptcy...France will almost certainly default on its debt if the EU goes. It will be a financial catastrophe for France.
Howard Sutherland, following the burqa theme of Paul K., writes:
These unconstrained-by-convention gals no doubt consider themselves political friends and allies of the ever-growing and ever-hostile Moslem population that is spreading throughout France...Seeing these liberated ladies so confidently setting about running France in a leftist-chic, even fun way, I remembered the description of Islam attributed to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who should know:

Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious. (emphasis added).
