She-devil?

The Vatican's harmful views about condoms | Sex and sensibility | The Economist

The Economist's article on the Pope's African comments on condoms is not very fair, but I don't particularly care to go into that debate here.

Instead, I'll pray for forgiveness for trivialising a serious issue by joining in the question already asked by some Economist commenters: who is that person with the mountainous red hair standing next to the Pope?

By the way, I wonder how Quentin Bryce's African sojourn is going. If she needs a visit to the hairdresser while there, the result could be interesting.

(You can see photos of her visit here. For a moment there, I thought I spotted a pic which did not feature the GG herself. But no, when you enlarge the thumbnail, there she is on the poster in the background.

Ah no! I stand corrected. There is a pic without her image in any form whatsoever. A breakthrough!)

UPDATE: It appears that the Amazon women with red hair was earlier identified at Tim Blair's, but that massive hat concealing that massive hair makes her look slightly different.

Good god, she's big and so is her blindingly bright hair!

Good Lord!

It isn't!

It can't be!

But... it IS! It's... MARGARITA PRACATAN!

You heard it here first, folks. Margarita Pracatan is the secret power behind the papal throne. Pracatan controls the world!

Well.

That explains his accent.
