See, but the thing is... she IS subserviant to a man. I'm sure she voices her opinion, but if W says, "Condi, get this done!", I'll bet she does it. She DOES have prominant front teeth.
So are we mad because it portrays her accurately (admittedly, with a bit of a "bite") or are we mad because the guy tagged her with a bunch of stereotypes?
If someone portrayed me with overly large glasses and barefeet, saying to my husband, "Yes, dear", it wouldn't be insulting because it comes too close to the truth. I wouldn't get outraged on behalf of all womanhood because someone had the nerve to draw a woman, barefoot, being subserviant to a man. We're smarter than this and we're losing our sense of humor.
The cartoons about Condi should encourage us. The media is attempting to convince people that Condi is a witless mouthpiece. She disproves that every single time she is shown speaking on tv.
"See, but the thing is... she IS subserviant to a man."
Many of us have led corporate teams and we know there's nothing worse than have a team member not aligned with your corporate and unit goals. I'm not talking about honest disagreement and open airing of different views. I'm talking about people that actively work against your goals and sabotage your efforts.
I think Colin Powell was more in the latter camp. It's going to be much better having Dr. Rice at State because she is much more aligned with President Bush's goals.
