338...Women Aren't Furniture

Flavia Krause-Jackson of Bloomberg News is following Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's visit to Libya's former colonial rulers, Italy.

Colonel Qaddafi met with Equal Opportunities Minister Mara Carfagna and at that meeting he called for a feminist uprising and condemned the Arab World for treating women like “furniture.” “We need a feminist revolution,” Qaddafi said in a speech in Rome last week after the meeting with Miss Carfagna, who Maxim Magazine has in their top 1 of hottest politicians in history.

Sidebar. Not only is Miss Carfagna ridiculously attractive, she is also young, smart and has the highest profile, at least outside of Italy, of any of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's cabinet. Those of you that listen to me on 93.1CKCU are surely aware of the fact that I have had a mad crush on the Honourable Miss Carfagna forever. And a day.

The Libyan leader, who not only talks the talk, he has 40 female bodyguards, demanded to meet her and 700 leading women in Italy on his trip. In his Rome speech he went on to say that in the Arab-speaking Middle East, a woman is “like a piece of furniture that one can change whenever one wants without anyone asking why.”
