In just a few short years they will be drooping enough to hide her elbows!

I agree! Condi was - and is - the essence of intelligence, style, and grace. And yet, the main stream media never praised her!
Probably from throwing all of those indigents out of the U. of Chicago hospital.
The two biggest cracks on earth

Class. Soooo much class.
The grossest thing is that they wear their shoes without socks.
Yes, Condi dressed exquisitely, as did Laura Bush.
