ooohhhh She's in Troubbbble!!!


Queen Rania and her husband King Abdullah awwwww they look so cute.

In the first edition of "Who's Wearing the Pants" Queen Rania of Jordan is in trouble for "controlling politics." Really though? Really? Isn't this a couple hundred years too late? I mean really I like Queen Rania I do. However, the complaint was something that should have been corrected over ten years ago when she became first lady.
Many of us know Queen Rania for her style, many comparisons to America's first lady Michelle Obama, because of her class, style, an education and friend to my icon, Oprah Winfrey. However, I didn't know she was controlling!
Okay so here's how it went down (scary dramatic music in the background) King Abdullah had a meeting with the tribal leaders of Jordan who came to him, because of the recent uprisings (kind of like the ones in Egypt and Yemen)and they said to him that his wife has controlled too much of the political atmosphere. According to BBC the public has been complaining that Queen Rania has been building power centers for her own personal interest. As if they didn't insult the Queen enough they went below the belt pointing out the fact that (ghetto accent) she ain't even from Jordan. That's right Queen Rania is from Palestine so what the Bedouin tribal leaders were saying was "we don't know her like that."
Well, just because the tribal leaders in Jordan want to follow the leader in protests in the middle east does not mean they have to accuse Queen Rania of "power-jackin'" them. King Abdullah did dissolve his entire cabinet and hire a new PM, an action of which many people have been critical. I don't have problems with people recognizing what's wrong with leaders, but insulting the family members is just wayyyy too far.
Whew, I sure would hate to be in her shoes.
