Flash bulbs popping while discussing economics and security
Eight days, six countries, and a rock star welcome. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is making her first visit to Asia since moving into her offices at the State Department. And so far, the trip is the stuff of front-page photos and video headlines here.
After nearly 16-and-a-half hours of flying time, Rice stepped off the Boeing 757 after sunset on Tuesday to a platform filled with still and video photographers in New Delhi, the American ambassador to India waiting on the tarmac to show her to her car, and various local dignitaries eager to shake her hand.
When asked by a visiting reporter why all the fuss, given that it was already after dinner and dark to boot, a local embassy staffer said, Well, its the only picture the Indian media will get of Rice today! And indeed, Rices descent from the jet made the front pages, including the Wednesday's editon of the Times of India.

She's not sexy. She's not gorgeous. She's not even pretty.
You describe her simply and accurately. "She's a beauty." I find her to be cute, and maybe even a little sexy, but when she smiles and you see those teeth, it is a definite minus.
I think if she got her teeth fixed it would take her from a 6 to an 8.
Bad teeth can make even attractive people a turn-off. And this is more true for women than it is for men.

Lay off on the teeth. She has a gap. Big deal. I'll bet she keeps them as a symbol of her upward mobility.

" Ya' know, I've been trying to come up with a word to describe her physical appearance, everyone knows about her brains.
She's not sexy. She's not gorgeous. She's not even pretty.
You describe her simply and accurately. "She's a beauty."
Her dignified stature, her quiet confidence, the ease with which she talks to Presidents and Premiers or a waitress at IHOP . . . yes . . . she's simply a beauty" ...
Do you know what, geedee, this paragraph about Condi, it's too, a beauty!! You're good... I love it

India is a great friend of the United States, also they are the world largest democracy - more power to them. I wish we could give them the same level of support that we give to the chinese. I guess "chinese" labor trumps a free labor market. Holtz JeffersonRepublic.comI agree. In addition to that we can also have India help us contain China as well as some backup should Musharraf be assasinated and a hostile party takes over Pakistam.

Now, for extra credit, do you have a photo of the oil tanker that was named after her? I'd like to see if somebody has dug that up already.
BTW: You're right, she's a lady.
