They might as well have called her a drag-queen ho from the ghetto.
No Carol, they didn't do that. That is what you just did though.
-
Nah.
She dresses better, smiles more, and her hair is more polished. But vampish? No way. The poor thing does not know how to attractively cross her legs for a photo. She looks like a jackknife. She should take leg-crossing lessons from Katy Couric.

More like drag queen ho from Palo Alto
She is not from the ghetto, but she and George Whore Bush have certainly made the White House the 'Ho House.

Overreacting?
I read the piece and did not think it was so bad. One reason they analyze women's dress is that men wear the exact same thing all the time. You can only get so much mileage out of red tie vs. paisley.
Anyway, the rare times men do wear something different, it is discussed. Obama in a bathing suit? Obama and the open-necked shirt, and how everyone has copied it? Bush in jeans on the "ranch?" How about the red plaid flannel shirt a presidential candidate wore awhile back (Lamarr Alexander maybe?)?
I feel like I have actually been hearing less about Hillary's and Pelosi's "pantsuits" and more about their actions than ever before.
Besides, I think most readers can figure out they all have spinners without someone writing a disclaimer about it every time.

Condi gets a makeover
I really don't think it's far fetched at all.
Nothing the public sees when presented by the White House is accidental.
Yes, I would say to the boots! In context I would think those boots said quite alot.
One might say Cheney's wearing of hiking boots and a ski jacket at (a formal gathering) Builtburg (?) was an accident of fashion but I would expect that it expressed his distain for the company he was in.

Right on!
I think the photos show a women who dresses more or less appropriately to the events where she is shown. The commentary really is masculinist nonsense. I don't like anything about Condoleeza Rice but I also don't like this effort to make it appear that somehow any woman in a position of power is an appropriate target for silly nonsense about her dress.

I can't stand the sight of her regardless of how she's trying to present herself.
Like every other crony in the Bush White House, she is living proof that if one is willing to lie to the right people on behalf of the right people, one can certainly "fail upward". I highly doubt any other world leaders could care less about whether she tries to show off that she spends time trying to tone her legs on a treadmill. If anything, she should spend less time on trying shape her legs and start paying more attention to memos that say "Bin Laden determined to strike in U.S."
If they are so worried about micro-managing her image, they should start by stopping at the nearest dentist's office and do something about her teeth. I cringe when I turn on CNN and have to witness her spinning the usual White House talking points. It's like looking at Alfred E. Newman on the cover of MAD Magazine.
