Quote of the Day, Darn Right It Is, Rep. Smith edition.

Rep. Chris Smith (R, NJ), on the news that Sudanese Christian Meriam Ibrahim has been released from jail (do I really need to recap that story? Really?):

“This is a huge first step,” said Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organization Subcommittee. “But the second step is that Ms. Ibrahim and her husband and their children be on a plane heading to the United States.”

Wife of an American citizen, parent of American citizens, literally facing death for her religious beliefs… yes. Get her and her family out of there, with all due speed.

  1. Too bad that she wouldn’t be allowed to tell her story to college students, might offend someone.

  2. 1. Why wasn’t the State Department in the face of the Sudanese government regarding this?
    .
    2. Why is it that none of them are on planes right this instant to the U.S.? She’s not going to be safe until she’s back home.

    1. Because they’re minorities and post-colonial.
      Failing to show appropriate deference would be RAAAAACIST.

      1. Just to be helpful: Another acceptable spelling if you don’t want to use as many letters is “Raysis.”
