It seems Condi has some admirers at the Washington Post. This picture could hardly be more flattering, and as overpressure noted, the placement on page one was perfect.
Topping off the WP's Condi coverage, I came across this column in today's edition by Robin Givhan (use Bugmenot for registration). Lets just say, the article is a bit of a departure from the typical coverage that the Post or the Times provide of a high government official's fashion:
Rice's coat and boots speak of sex and power -- such a volatile combination, and one that in political circles rarely leads to anything but scandal. When looking at the image of Rice in Wiesbaden, the mind searches for ways to put it all into context. It turns to fiction, to caricature. To shadowy daydreams. Dominatrix! It is as though sex and power can only co-exist in a fantasy. When a woman combines them in the real world, stubborn stereotypes have her power devolving into a form that is purely sexual......... .........Countless essays and books have been written about the erotic nature of high heels. There is no need to reiterate in detail the reasons why so many women swear by uncomfortable three-inch heels and why so many men are happy that they do. Heels change the way a woman walks, forcing her hips to sway. They alter her posture in myriad enticing ways, all of which are politically incorrect to discuss.
Wow! I don't smoke, but after reading that I felt the need to relax in the afterglow with a cigarette.
