No sooner had the clerk laid down the law than the black mother upped the ante. Stepping coolly out of her caste as a "colored" woman, she addressed the clerk as the hired help she was: "My daughter will try on this dress in a dressing room, or I'm not spending my money here."

If Dr. Rice uses this story in her acceptance speech at the convention in 2004, the election, as far as the Democraps were concerned, would be over that minute-- and Terry McAwful would cry like a baby. I'm so glad she's on the side of good and not evil.

She is the first woman, and the first African-American, to hold the key post of advising the US president on foreign and defence policy, following in the footsteps of great egos like Henry Kissinger.

Stupid Brits.

Thanks for the ping....I'd love to see Bush/Rice in 2004. Great pics on your page!

First, Condoleezza Rice is a brilliant and accomplished woman who is helping the President of the United States during one of the most trying and difficult times in world history. (Yes, it is.)
Second, she has her job not because the President wants a cabinet that "looks like America", or because of "affirmative action" or political pandering. Condi Rice has her job because she is probably the best qualified person in the world for her job. (And this just kills the scumbag liberal press and news media.)
Third, kudos to the President for getting the right person for this most difficult job. This appointment is ample testimony to the President's sound judgement in the critically important task of surrounding himself with great minds and strong people.

Instead Condi's father, a Presbyterian preacher, helped organise armed street patrols to protect the black community from white racists.

The state, the police and the law had failed decent black people and the Rice family pursued their constitutional right to bear arms.

Kewl.

**Yea, but to the media Hillary's the smartest woman in the world. **

Proof that the media are stupid.

What a great article...and the pics are so sweet of Condi as a little girl.

ping for grammie

Huh? Condi Rice has nothing but the highest respect here at Free Republic. I have never seen her trashed on this board by anybody. Ever.

Oh, no? Then go HERE. Read a little bit. You'll see.

[GraniteStateConservative]

I wasn't just pinging you. You had asked for someone to supply an image of Condi Rice's legs for a FReeper. I found one and let the person who asked know and you know.

Take care...

Rice is not ideologically pure enough for some at FR. These are people that live a joyless life full of disappointment and I pity them.

That picture... it reminds me of something.

WARNING juvenile humor. Do NOT click this link if you can't stand some harmless fun poked at the president!

[JulieRNR21]

Thanks for the picture....I'd forgotten about the request for a picture of her gorgeous gams!
