Rude Pundit gets Iraq constitution exactly right. Caution ...rude content

It's strange that an enormous, almost ridiculously micromanaging document like the Iraqi draft constitution ought to come down to its use of a single word. And while one could easily say that the fact that the document begins with a shout-out to the "Sons of Mesopotamia" means women are shat on from the outset and that the line, "No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam," means that Iraq will become mullahrific, it's a single word, used a couple of times in the entire constitution, that means Iraq is fucked.

1. Yup, that word is "morality"

Anything said or written that offends the nebulous concept of public morality is forbidden under the proposed Iraqi constitution. Gee, you think this locution might be used in a way that most folks in the United States would object to?

2. Yeah..the old "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it'...

the pornography laws in the old USA!...Of course if you are a pedophile judge..you can define pornography down.
