Alabama native Rice heads home to help
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 10:56 AM by JoFerret

They have all been shamed into appearing to be concerned.
Those new shoes will really come in handy for the photo-op.


<<In Katrina's wake, Rice has staunchly disputed criticism from Jesse Jackson and black lawmakers who have charged that racial injustice was a factor in the federal government's sluggish response.

``I just hope that when people stop and think about it, they will just see that that's just not the case,'' Rice said. ``How can that be the case? Americans don't want to see Americans suffer.''

She added, ``Nobody, especially the president, would have left people unintended on the basis of race.''>>

"Not my hub..president," she added indignantly.

1. Maybe she can do some shopping or looting
This is something Repugs are good at.

2. She didn't exactly rush home to help, did she?
Taking in a Broadway show and shopping for shoes are apparently more important.

3. It's not to help the victims that she's going home
rather than the local dept store is having a clearance sale on slightly water damaged Manola Blanik's.

Always great for trekking through the Crawford fields.

17. Actually, they were Salvatore Ferragamo shoes
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 12:22 PM by Penndems
I believe Manolo Blanik footwear are Ann Coulter's shoes of choice.

4. Condi has to show off her new shoes
They are really nice, thousand dollar shoes, after all.

While people were struggling under Katrina's blows, Condi went shopping. How nice.

7. The better to cover her cloven hooves "bringing aid" to Alabama
by attending some church. Get that hag out there on the streets handing out water and vouchers for hotel rooms and comforting the dying she's helped kill.

Murderess in thousand dollar shoes!

21. Thank You , in the midst of my anger and sadness, you
made me laugh. Cloven hooves, I can actually see them in my minds eye. She is a disgrace to the human race, along with all her buddies.

14. Her new name! I love it.
While people in her home area died, she went shopping for shoes.
Now she photo ops and tries to do damage control.

You don't want your smoking gun to be a size 9 pump do ya?

18. Rice doesn't care one bit about
Edited on Sun Sep-04-05 03:47 PM by Tomee450
Alabama. She left long ago and I wonder just how many times she has been back. She is only going there out of shame. Once it became known that she was having a good time attending a play and buying shoes while her countrymen were suffering I guess she felt she had to appear concerned.

22. Nothing Became Her Like The Leaving Of It
in re: Condi and Alabama

If she really wants to help, she would resign and join a convent (mess up the nuns' minds).

33. Did you notice the cut and paste photo ops?

Clip in church found her sleeping and a quick cut away.

* Maybe the camera man LIHOP

A voice over saying something about " # non of this was about African Americans being not respected, this is America bla bla bla"

If they were so in love with her in her home town why didn't we se them falling all over her, getting her autograph, asking her to find their aunts, cousins, mothers?

I didn't see any of that, did you?
