...called the perfect wife for her devotion to George W. Bush and the Comforter in Chief for her calming demeanor after 9/11. But it would be a mistake to think of Laura Bush as a latter-day Mamie Eisenhower, who once said, "Ike runs the country; I turn the pork chops."

She also satirizes the Norwegians themselves, with their "booze-and-pork" culture and "progressive" family structures in which a single child can have multiple sets of parents. "I talk about sexuality and pornography, about desire and our bodies," Rehman says. Her tart social commentary tackles head-on the culture clash between Islam and the West.
