"There are perils to being unattached in the stodgy world of diplomacy," writes Helene Cooper in an article slated for Wednesday's New York Times.

"Sometimes it has seemed that all Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice needs to do is show up in public with a man, and the tongues start wagging," writes Cooper.

"The single, attractive U.S. secretary of state once drew notice for wearing black stiletto knee-high boots with an above-the-knee black skirt while reviewing U.S. troops in Germany, so she is bound to attract gossip," the article continues. "That is particularly true on the dry, acronym-ridden diplomatic circuit of NATO meetings, APEC forums and ASEAN conclaves, where much imagination has focused on possible romantic links between Rice and her counterparts."

According to Cooper, Rice now finds "herself linked to someone with similar star appeal: Peter MacKay of Canada, the single, attractive foreign minister, routinely named Canada's sexiest MP by The Hill Times in Ottawa, and the closest thing to eye candy on the diplomatic circuit" but adds the caveat that "here is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that Rice and MacKay are linked by anything more than their shared status as singletons."

1. Man, I hate to be Katty....

But who the fuck told her that blazier looked good on her....

[laylah]

3. Well, I don't mind

being catty...who the f*ck labeled her "attractive"? :puke:

[bananas]

15. At least she's not wearing her nazi dominatrix outfit

[MessiahRp]

22. LOL so true...

I can't think of a single thing attractive about her or her personality...

Rp

[fuzzyball]

29. COndi has two things going for her.....to be attractive....

First, and most important is that she wields considerable
power as the head of US diplomatic corps. Power is very
attractive to the opposite sex. Recall how even Nixon's SoS
Henry K had no trouble attracting a bevy of blonde beauties.

And the second thing which makes Condi attractive to men is
her slender body....always preferred by men.

[Gato Moteado]

20. she has the same exact taste in clothes as laura bush

nt

[yourout]

2. Attractive?..................I don't think so.

Yuk.

[Greeby]

4. Man, first Jack Straw, now this Canadian?

Her husband isn't gonna be too happy :eyes:

[Human Torch]

7. I think she should have gone with the female pianist...

...wish I had a link to that one. Happened about a year ago. In the article someone was talking with Condi and mentioned a female pianist who was "a big fan"...the person gave her one of the woman's CDs and it soon became apparent that it was more of a matchmaking session and less than a mutual admiration society of talented pianists.

:rofl:

[No Exit]

18. She may have...

considering that she's a figurehead for a political party which advocates locking persons like herself in a closet, I don't think she'd advertise it if she HAD gone with the female pianist!

[howmad1]

31. Holy shit!

Is president schmuck gonna be pissed. His main squeeze has eyes for another dude, a canuck no less. Condiliar better watch her cute butt or she gonna get fried by some CIA type for screwin around behind pres. schumck's back. Betcha pickels is thrilled about all this goin's on.:evilgrin:

[Wickerman]

5. in succession your sigline image was rather jarring

for that brief instant until it registered. :rofl:

[Human Torch]

6. I hear ya...that would have shaken me too...

:evilgrin:

:toast:

[EST]

8. Perhaps they meant to point out that this would be the first

time she's appeared with a real man, rather than that sad criminal imitation she usually appears with.

[FSogol]

9. singletons? Don't they mean simpletons? n/t

[bahrbearian]

10. Whats her husband going to say?

[DeadManInc]

11. Attrractive my ass! She is fugly.

[sam sarrha]

12. more lies to cover-up the affair with * all the pulp Enquirer types are

all over the first lady being pissed off about the presidential affair.. with a BLACK woman. Hussy..!!!

[xchrom]

13. rice is attractive? on planet Fugly, maybe.

[Benhurst]

14. To be fair, there are a lot of pictures of her with Bush, Cheney, and

Rove; but this is the first time she has ever been photographed with a man.

[uberblonde]

16. My D.C. friends say she's gay.

That's what I've always heard.

[No Exit]

17. To a straight man who's recently had problems with his wife or

lover, hanging around with a gay woman for a little while can be like a breath of fresh air. This works especially well for guys with big egos, which MacKay apparently is. It gives the man time to re-view women in a positive light, cutting through the bitterness he is probably feeling.

Just my opinion. How nice of Rice to help assuage the bruised ego.:sarcasm:

[Buzz Clik]

19. Holy crapoli. Yet another needless "I hate Condi" thread.

With plenty of good reasons to blast Rice, we're talking about her dating habits and fashion sense.

Give me a fucking break.

[The Deacon]

21. Okay -

How about that she maintains a Cold Warrior mentality & foreign policy in a Post-Cold War world? Or that she can't even lie very convincingly? (Her performances before the 9/11 Commission & during the Invasion of Lebanon were painful to watch - I actually felt sorry for someone in the Appointed Government.)

[Buzz Clik]

25. A bit too late for that, although I agree.

"Who told her she looks good in a blazer?"

"... stiletto heels and a short skirt..."

A phenomenal waste of time.

[ABaker]

23. The double standard is alive and well

Women are judged by their appearances, men aren't. Sounds like sexism to me.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

30. Um, did you read the article?

Peter MacKay of Canada, the single, attractive foreign minister, routinely named Canada's sexiest MP by The Hill Times in Ottawa, and the closest thing to eye candy on the diplomatic circuit"

[Parche]

24. rice-a-roni

That is her dentist, she needs to pay him off big time for fixing that space between her front teeth.

[bvar22]

26. On the Other Hand:

George bush* shows up in public with a New Boyfriend, and nobody says shit!

Notice poor rejected Condi trailing in the dust.


Georgie boy* DOES seem to love that BEEFCAKE!

[AZBlue]

27. What a sad, sexist little world we still live in.

*sigh*

Is it 2006? 1906? 1806? Can't seem to tell!

[CarlVK]

28. It'll never work. Peter MacKay can leave his coffin in daylight hours.
