Condi: 'I knew my black belt training would come in handy someday'

[sarasota]

Interesting and good to hear. I kept mine but have little opportunity to wear them. Everyone's gone "casual".

[gopwinsin04]

Condi probably gave her a good talking to about morals and sleeping with married men.

[marty60]

HUMMMM.....yes they are.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Angelina looks like she's starting on the Lara Flynn Boyle diet. ;)

A Southern lady wears hose at formal events. Yes, even in a Washington summer

Well, I USED to, then I decided life was too short, Texas was too hot, and that I should show off the cafe-au-lait tan that I inherited from ancestors and enhanced by working my butt off in the yard. Plus, the cat kept ruining my hose. HOWEVER, if it is a formal enough event that I'll feel guilty about not wearing hose, I wear a really long flowy skirt so just the tops of my feet and MAYBE my ankles show.

When she is at non official events, she becomes herself and yes is indeed beautiful. It is just noticeable when she is in the SOS mode.

[Allegra]

Is she wearing stockings? I didn't think they were still part of anyone's agenda.

Why anyone still wears those awful things is beyond me. Panty-hose is one of the worst ideas of all mankind.

I haven't owned a pair in years.

I'm sure they were invented by a man. ;-)

[bray]

Condi is indeed brilliant, but beautiful? Nope. To severe looking. Not ugly, mind you, but not beautiful.

What did you name your guide dog??? Eye Condi Rox '08!!

Pray for W and Our Troops

Not many calories, there.

[gopwinsin04]

This is the most excitment Dick Durbin's had since sleeping through the cabinet confirmation hearings!

[sarasota]

If I must wear stockings, I wear thigh-highs; never the dreaded pantyhose.

[billbears]

No, she's ugly. Not severe looking, just ugly. May be mean but it's the truth

[Allegra]

A Southern lady wears hose at formal events. Yes, even in a Washington summer.

I'm a southern lady. And I don't wear those things.

I feel that if anyone is going to judge me on things like that, they must have plenty of time to complicate their lives with such trivialities.

I don't have that kind of time. I believe in keeping it as simple as you can.

[oceanperch]

Do Southern Women wear hose as in Panty Hose or garter belt and stockings?

[finnman69]

Condi is shorter than I thought. Jolie is something like 5-7, 5-8.

[Horatio Gates]

To severe looking

I'm into it. 8>)

[oyez]

I guess that's what you would call "chicken legs".

[Vision]

She's sizing up Condi like a piece of meat. Careful Condi, she drinks blood and kisses her brother

[kittymyrib]

That's Dick Lugar (R-IN)...though he's probably excited too.
