FORT HOOD, Texas - Jury selection started Tuesday for the panel that will recommend a sentence for Army Reservist, new mother, and longtime lesbian Lynndie England, who pleaded guilty to mistreating prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison camp in Iraq.
England accepted responsibility for the smiling, thumbs-up poses she struck for photographs taken at Abu Ghraib that made her the face of the prisoner abuse scandal.
England, 22, in a candid, makeup-free interview on CBS pleaded guilty Monday to seven counts of mistreating prisoners, saying she let her comrades talk her into going along with the abuse. She then placed her index finger on the left side of her nose and blew out a tremendously large amount of snot and mucous which seemed to plague her during the one-on-one conversation. Shortly thereafter, she challenged her interviewer, Julie Chen, to an arm wrestling competition which was politely declined.
The charges carry up to 11 years in prison, the defense couldn't seem to communicate with England as one of her prosecutors had a 'killer rack' which seemed to occupy Ms. England's mind every three seconds.
At Monday's hearing, England stepped out of her Subaru Forrester and softly told the crowd, "As much as you might dislike me, or the things I may have done under war time duress, please to not defile the Spongebob Squarepants and Celebrate Diversity rainbow bumperstickers as they are a statement of my personal freedom and individuality."
Pvt. Charles Graner Jr., labeled the abuse ringleader and the man said to be the father of England's infant son, said that he was initially attracted to Ms. England for her striking resemblance to the famous, late, foul-mouthed comedian, Sam Kinnison. "Her frumpy shoulders and terrible bouts of screaming would have us in stitches. It was only then [after, we agreed to have sex] that I found out she was a chick. I was real scared that had she been a guy, all the other prison guards would have called me an Abu Ghraibo. I really dodged a bullet."
In England's hometown in West Virginia, Jawanda Satzer said the scandal has given the community a bad name. "For someone to do something like that, and then for her to be from Fort Ashby, it's upsetting," said Satzer, 37. "I also hated how she used to comment that my butt must have been made of jelly 'cause jam don't shake like that."

She kind of looks like Chandler when he was going through his Vicadin period.
What is it with you attacking women? Have you no respect for the superior sex?
If you go back into the annals of this blog you will see that we equally spread our attacks against males and females, blacks and whites, baseball players and football players, dogs and cats, etc.
I have the upmost respect for females, however, I can't say that one sex is greater than the other That said, I would definitely be up for bleeding once a month if it meant I wouldn't go bald.
Would you also be up for pregnancy, labor, delivery and breastfeeding? Because that, my friend, is what makes the female the superior sex.
You just bashed women in your last two emails. Is there a reason?
I have bashed women via emails or posts? I so confuse.
The last two posts have been about women, but that is more serendipity than an agenda. My posts come from daily news services like CNN, MSN, Fox and the like. Yesterday was just a busy news day for the ladies.
There are far greater tradgedies in this world than me comparing a woman to a pumpkin and defaming another for making a pile of naked men on a prison floor (which if that is not a sign of a superior sex, I don't know what is).
How about this, today I'll focus my attention on more humorous unisex issues like the 47 people who died in that suicide explosion in Iraq or how North Korea is launching nuclear missles into the sea.
Lighten up. One person's opinion is not a good platform to place your soap box.
emails...posts...whatever.
RELAX, I am just having fun with you.
