Polish Politics
Women from a new Polish political party have stripped off in a controversial poster campaign ahead of national elections.Seven candidates from the Women's Party are featured posing behind a billboard that reads: "The party of women. Poland is a woman."
The attention-grabbing move is making waves in staunchly Catholic Poland, where the ruling Kaczynski twins have pushed a fiercely conservative agenda.
Writer Manuela Gretkowska said she founded the party as the Polish government considered tightening already strict controls on abortion.
"It is the straw that broke the camel's back," she said, adding that Poland's political scene was usually run by men for men.
"This poster is intended to shatter stereotypes in the anachronistic world of politics, which is more often dominated by uncommunicative men with their black tie outfits," she said.
"We are beautiful, nude, proud. We are true and sincere, body and soul. This is not pornography, there is nothing to see in terms of sex, our faces are intelligent, concerned, proud.
"We do not have our mouths open nor our eyes closed," she said.

Hmmm... I bet they wouldn't do that if they looked like hillary clinton or nancy pelosi or [shudder] barbara boxer. Still, it brings to mind the Kerry/Edwards campaign... "Vote for us, we have better hair."
It took the threat of limited abortions to get their clothes off. Its amazing the extent some women will go to be able to kill their children.

My mom's American-Polish. Is it possible that they just forgot where they put their clothes?
God forbid if the DNC get's this idea... or if Helen Thomas and Tokyoyoyo Rosie O'Donnell are in it! I lost my appetite as well. Shalom and God Bless, and love your smooth cinnamon chow-chow picture. We had a black and cinnamon chow too!
Genghis Khan used them as war dogs and for hunting, and the black chows guarded the monastaries in Tibet.
