Ho's for Hire?

Glenn Reynolds posted this picture of the Hizbollah-backed, pro-Syrian demonstrations in Beruit today:

Glenn, like me, has been rather partial to the more attractive demonstrators in the pro-democracy crowd. However, he says this about the above picture:

Meanwhile, is Hizbollah desperate, and afraid of democracy? But they're certainly trying to hold their own in the "hot protest babe" category. And as means of political competition in the Mideast go, this is one that I hope we see more of. It's better than truck bombs.

Well, zoom in on that picture very closely. I'll be damned if I can find another female in that sea of demonstrators. That and the fact that she seems to be displaying the passion of a woman trying to stand up in defense of an adulterous ex-husband. Something tells me that she is either a) someone's relative, b) someone's wife/girlfriend or c) some whore they picked up on the street on the way over. Regardless, I fully support her liberation.

Oh yeah, that and the guys around her seem to have their eyes and minds on the "demonstrative" task at hand. Some of these guys look as if they haven't seen a woman since that bootleg copy of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" made its rounds through the Middle East.

10 fingers, I think you're being very unfair to these protesters. I count roughly 85 heads in that picture, and I think three of them might well belong to women. And you have no way of knowing if that brave young woman is a prostitute. Judging from the vacant expression on her face, she may be drugged. ;-)

I think she's ugly, real ugly. Frighteningly so.

utron, brave? Hmmmm, after looking at all those faces in the crowd I think you're right.

Dang it, I only had three reasons for her appearance at the protest and I didn't even think about the drugged angle! Make that four!

They're Hezbollah supporters. Their women are all at home nursing babies & black eyes

Holy smokes! I thought she was a little heavy on the eye liner...
