Not that I care but what is the appropriate color for mourning in Saudi Land? In India, it’s pink, I’ve heard. (Pink is their navy blue!)

I said black because that is what the translated comments on Arabic news about this said would have been appropriate. I am pretty sure there are protocol experts in the White House, if not I know the State Department has an office just to address protocol. It should not have been a big challenge for her to find out what was appropriate to wear, pink or black. I am convinced she really doesn’t care.

I am with her on not covering her head, no matter what the protocol for that is.

Now S.A. media is saying they didn’t blur her, but the video that shows her blurred also shows another female- blond hair, dressed all in black with no head covering and that female was not blurred. I think the issue was her outfit color and pattern more than head covering or no head covering. The translated comments I read were nearly all about her not wearing plain black- there were just a couple that even mentioned her not covering her head.
