The coca leaves are inlaid in the charango.

2. LOL

[unblock]

3. haha. she is smuggling cocaine right under our noses!

and what is it with this administration and stringed, fretted instruments?

[Spiffarino]

4. Damn her.

Why does she get one? Bet she can't even play it. I think she should send it to me.

Edit: Is there a picture with the instrument turned around? A lot of them have bodies made from armadillos.

6. So, why doesn't she bother to look at the guy?

I'm just sayin'. :shrug:

She is NOT personable...at all. And there are people who actually want her to be president. I think that this and the GOP attacks on Hilary are part of the same campaign. It's just another divisive strategy. Note to GOP...Grow up!

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Oh I doubt if he's being seduced

He just screwed Condi with a smile on his face.

She's going to have wished she never took these pictures accepting coca leaves from Bolivia.
