Wow - she looks GREAT in that color. Wouldn't have thought it.

Thanks for another great dose -- some really fine photos tonight.

Today's photos surely do show the comfort level between your Mr. Straw and our Miss Rice.

The dims must freak every time Dr Rice speaks or her photo appears on the wires. After all, she is not only brillant and a presence to be reckoned with around the world in that respect but she is always so beautifully turned out. She is well groomed, physically fit, tastefully dressed and her clothes are professionally tailored for a perfect fit. Moreover, she is dignified and assured without being smug. The woman is a powerhouse. Compared with the likes of dim high-profile women such as former Sec State "Mad Maddy" or the wretched Hillary or the clueless Pelosi and, .... well uh, you just can't compare that rumpled, frowsy, overstuffed, testy, plastic surgery addicted gang to Condi Rice. LOL. Ah, life is sweet.
