He Said, She Said

Damn. I meant to blog about this earlier today but forgot.

Keith Olberman may be the American liberal media darling but he's got nothing on this chick.




Ali Saleem, a cross-dressing "widow" in conservative Pakistan has a talk show to put us to shame.

In a country where publicly talking about sex is strictly off limits, Mr. Saleem has managed not only to bring up the subject on his prime-time television talk show — but to do so without stirring a backlash from fundamentalist Islamic clerics.

Oh yeah, try THAT in these United States!


When Mr. Saleem takes to the airwaves, he is Begum Nawazish Ali, a coquettish widow who interviews Pakistan’s glitterati and some of its top politicians.

A real woman could not possibly do what Mr. Saleem does. In the unlikely event a station would broadcast such a show, the hostess would be shunned. And taking on the guise of a married woman — whose virtue is crucial to her whole family — would be equally impossible.

But apparently a cross-dressing man pretending to be a widow is another matter entirely.


Read the entire story. You will not be disappointed.
