Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived at the Wiesbaden Army Airfield on Wednesday dressed all in black. She was wearing a black skirt that hit just above the knee, and it was topped with a black coat that fell to mid-calf. The coat, with its seven gold buttons running down the front and its band collar, called to mind a Marine's dress uniform or the "save humanity" ensemble worn by Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix."
... The boots had a high, slender heel that is not particularly practical. But it is a popular silhouette because it tends to elongate and flatter the leg. In short, the boots are sexy.
... Rice looked as though she was prepared to talk tough, knock heads and do a freeze-frame "Matrix" jump kick if necessary...
Rice's coat and boots speak of sex and power -- such a volatile combination, and one that in political circles rarely leads to anything but scandal. ... the mind searches for ways to put it all into context. It turns to fiction, to caricature. To shadowy daydreams. Dominatrix! It is as though sex and power can only co-exist in a fantasy. ...in the real world, stubborn stereotypes have her power devolving into a form that is purely sexual.
Rice challenges expectations and assumptions. ... menacing silhouette. ... Countless essays and books have been written about the erotic nature of high heels...

I think the reporter's in love.
Kewl! Is Condi "The One"?
How did you know I wrote that????
Oh, uh, I mean...heh...
Hey, the middle aged women had Rummy, us almost-40 guys need a hearthrob in this administration, leave us alone! ;)
Boots with attitude to kick EUroweenies, evildoers and assorted miscreants.
Now that's a phrase.
If things don't work out in 2008, Condi could have a weekly series. "Condi the EUroweenie Slayer" or something.
No matter what she wears I will be proud of her compared to the last 'female' secretary of state. Every time the ugly toad went some where on a 'diplomatic' I cringed and shuddered at her mini skirts and and what may pop out from her ugly mouth.
.......as Hillary! cowers in fear, wondering HOW IN THE HECK to upgrade her ever declining looks!

OK, Condi! You rule.
No matter what she wears I will be proud of her compared to the last 'female' secretary of state. Every time the ugly toad went some where on a 'diplomatic' I cringed and shuddered at her mini skirts and and what may pop out from her ugly mouth.
It's just a matter of preference!
Her legs and Hillery's lovely legs are "very, very" sexy for a Democrat!!!
LOL!
Condi and Chaney swap jobs in '06.
Then add Senatecritters to EUroweenies and Evildoers after '08.
<sigh> I did a by-posting-time search for "Condoleeza Rice", really I did!
Imagine that...
a sexy outfit with no belly button or thong
underwear poking out from the backside.
Just a bit of "knee" and a slinky silhouette =^)
Can you imagine if a conservatives reporter would write something like this about a liberal female politician?!
They would be drummed out of the business for being so overtly sexist and offensive, since they comment ad nausaum on the clothes, instead of the ability and competence of a female secretary of state.
"Rice's coat and boots speak of sex and power -- such a volatile combination, and one that in political circles rarely leads to anything but scandal. When looking at the image of Rice in Wiesbaden, the mind searches for ways to put it all into context. It turns to fiction, to caricature. To shadowy daydreams. Dominatrix! It is as though sex and power can only co-exist in a fantasy. When a woman combines them in the real world, stubborn stereotypes have her power devolving into a form that is purely sexual."
I find this piece offensive and demeaning to all women. another example of liberaly hypocrysy: while they claim they want equality for women, when a CONSERVATIVE woman gets a position of power they call her a "dominatrix". Disgusting!
I think a generous FReeping of the Washingto Post is in order -- and it should be brought to the attention of Hannity and Rush, in case they missed it.
She is single you know. Does this make her Washington's most eligible?
It's funny that the reporter chose that particular outfit to write about. I don't think a great deal about Dr. Rice's clothes (if at all) but I happened to see a photo of the president with Dr. Rice in the background, in that particular outfit, and it really, really made me notice her! I also thought the jacket had a very military look to it, and yet was very fashion-forward. Heretofore, I have been dismissing the posts I have read about her possible run for the presidency next time, but that outfit made me rethink that. It had the look of a woman who was ready to kick butt and take names -- and be president.
