My favorite part of her trip, here's San Fran Nan as she makes the sign of the cross while admiring the tomb that holds the severed head of Saint John the Baptist in the Ommayad Mosque, Damascus.
If you take a closer look, one gets the feeling this scarf could have been a last minute ornament. Maybe mandated by her hosts? Surely a woman of her stature would have picked a hijab more in line with the season. Perhaps some spring colors. This is clearly a fall accessory.

It might be an object of religious oppression against women, but you have to admit... she is rocking the look.
But yes: I agree. Nancy shouldn't have worn it.
PS: (I saw the LGF article, and it struck me how similar your title was to the first sentence in their article...)
I'm sure she was "asked" to cover her dome before the tour began.
She did pull it off in a Yentl kinda way.
Yes, I stole it Jacob.
Yentl? What's that?
(Simpsons reference)
Simpsons? I don't watch the Simpsons!
Yentl is a movie starring Barbra Streisand. She plays Yentl, a young Jewish girl who disguises herself as a boy to enter religious training. It's really a good movie/musical.
I'm sorry, Yentl is a bit before your time, Jacob.
Must I explain?
Marge hires a copy of Yentl for Homer to watch
Homer: Yentl? What's that?
Marge: It deals with a bookish young woman's efforts to get into rabbinical school.
Homer: Sounds great!
Marge: Oh my god, you're delirious.
I'm sorry Janice, the Simpsons are before your time...
Consarnit.
That should be: "The Simpsons are a bit after your time..."
I was being sincere.
