...mommy wars are back too. In the week since that meeting, the cacophony over whether Dati is an icon or a traitor to working women has dominated call-in shows, newspapers and online news sites here. The polling company IFOP found that of the 56% of people who condemned Dati's decision, most were women. Maya Surduts of the National Collective for the Rights of Women called Dati's decision a "scandal," arguing that employers could use it to "put intolerable pressure on women" to cut short their maternity leave - enshrined in French law as 16 weeks' paid leave.

Inouye maintained that position even after Stevens was found guilty of seven counts of lying on his financial-disclosure forms to cover up expensive renovations done to his Alaska home by an oil-services...
...boat taking Malone back to the U.S., where a critics' group gives him the coveted Leni Riefenstahl Award for his films Die You American Pigs and America Sucks the Big One. But the auteur is not as popular with "real" Americans. He is called a "fat, ignorant, America-hating traitor," a "sack o' shit" and, by the ghost of J.F.K., "a douche...
