A colleague of mine looks just like Condi Rice

[primavera]

At first I was inclined to sympathy, but then I noticed that she's re-done her hair to enhance the similarity, so I think it's safe to say she knows and is proud of it. So now I'm thinking of getting her an IG Farben t-shirt to complete the makeover. Any other suggestions on how I might educate her on the character of her role model?

1. I think she should be proud

Ok we dont like condi but you gotta give her credit when its due..

She should be a role model for alot of black young girls whether they are left or right

2. Being a defense industry whore...

...is a basis for being a role model? Sorry, you lost me here... :shrug:

7. Little girls don't pay attention to left or right

a black woman in the white house will inspire them.

I perfer Carol Mosely-Braun, of course.

3. That's not really a bad thing.

I think Condi's a rather attractive woman.
Pity she serves the Dark Lord, though...

4. Try to talk her into doing a porn film....

5. why not give your colleague the benefit of the doubt?

the big problem with Condi isn't with her looks.

admit it, if Condi were a liberal democrat this board would be swamped with adoring threads saying how "hot" she is.

unless you have stronger evidence that your colleague shares Condi's despicable politics, i'd say don't do anything presumptuous.

6. Well, I have my suspicions...

Sheepishly I must admit that I'm presently working for the Conference of Catholic Bishops - in their refugee department - and I think this colleague may work in the Conference's pro-life department, which could conceivably suggest a greater ideological kinship to Condi than just in looks, but you're quite right: I don't know this person really at all, so should reserve judgement. Still, I do still think it says something about someone if they go out of their way to look like another person. If I were to dress up on a daily basis as Adolph Hitler, would you not draw some inferences about me?
