PHOTO: The Secretary of State gives workout hints on television

[Bluebear]

"And ladies! The dominatrix-chic boots give my calves an extra bit of toning that I really need before lying before Congress!'

====

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will flex more than her diplomatic muscles when she demonstrates her personal workout regime on American network television this week.

In an unusual departure for such a high-profile official, Rice not only pumps some iron on the show, but also discusses how she manages to stay fit during her continual globetrotting and reveals strategies for coping with high-calorie banquets.

1. What in God's name is she thinking?

Women have enough trouble being looked upon as serious enough for major offices without doing workout tips on TV. Whoever advised her to do this was dumb with a capital d.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. not to mention she needs to add a few pounds to that frame..

unless she enjoys having that boyish figure. :shrug:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

8. Georgie likes the boyish types

...

[WinkyDink]

23. Only with bald heads. But if that's a wig........

[Sydnie]

13. Well, we know some that enjoy her MORE because she has a

"boyish" figure, right? ;)

I can't wait to see what she WEARS for this little special. Soft core porn or hard core ... any bets? :rofl:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

17. Hey Syd!

:hi:

I refuse to even think about it, let alone watch it.

[Sydnie]

18. Hi Viva

:hi: I won't watch either, but you know there will be pictures of it!

[lumpy]

25. Desperate move to divert

public attention from misdeeds of Bushco. Targeting the TV drones and Star mag Hollywood dish dirt gobblers.

[lumpy]

26. Appealing to the ignoramouses

who can't even name their state governors, let alone their congressiona; representatives. 'Hollywood culture',you know, is formost on their 'inquiring minds'.

[babylonsister]

2. Gag me! Ugh. nt

[Radio_Lady]

5. Is this somebody's idea of how to "humanize" Ms. Rice?

Because it really isn't working....

[babylonsister]

15. Perhaps the people she's trying to reach are the

'have mores', so she thinks the look works.
I agree with you, it's not working for me at all; then again, I've never seen a pic of Rice I like, doesn't matter the occasion.

[July]

28. She's someone you'd want to go to the gym with, right?

I think you've nailed it.

[TomInTib]

3. Looks like she's been advising Big Dick, too..

[Janice325]

6. For what it's worth

I don't really give a shit.

[AmandaRuth]

7. Hey Great boots!

Wonder if she nabbed those while New Orleans was dying.

[babylonsister]

14. Ouch! She was in NYC buying Manolas, doncha know! nt

[Olney Blue]

9. Oh goody. I just can't cope with high-calorie banquets.

Condi- please save me.

[Garbo 2004]

10. Maybe for a treat she'll provide tips on shopping for designer shoes

while Americans drown. And to further "humanize" her she can personally lead Katrina survivors in a workout. That honor surely would make up for them losing their homes and loved ones.

Then she can move on and take her "Working Out With Condi" fitness show on the road to the Middle East, maybe even North Korea. Yeah, that's the ticket.

:sarcasm:

[onecent]

11. I had an accident on a treadmill with tennis shoes that put me out of

commission for 5 weeks. I COULD NOT drive a car for 5 weeks. Husband had to drive me anywhere or everywhere.....it was awful...and she gets on one with heels????

doofus...

[Hekate]

12. The pic looks like a bad Photoshop job

really

Hekate

[wicket]

16. very bad

They didn't even try- it's still funny though :rofl:

[Bluebear]

19. Everyone's a critic. :)

[Cocoa]

21. the badness is part of its charm

your pic made me :rofl:

[0007]

20. How to look sexy at the beach

[dogday]

22. Trying to put a human face on her (pardon the pun)

See Condi is just like you and me. She works out in black boots. I know I can't get on my machine without my thigh-high black boots.. Part of the Black Boot Brigade.....

[Roland99]

24. Cute Photoshop but rather crudely done.

[lumpy]

27. Workouts, makeovers, boobs

and butts appeal to a large segment of Americans. Bet this will be as popular as Donald Trump, Britney Spears and Anna Nicole.

[dogday]

29. Yes, but Condi is no Anna Nicole

it is not like she is easy on the eyes with that red lipstick smeared on her lips... I would watch for laugh value only I guess....

[Bluebear]

32. You got the point.

Everyone's a critic.

[Ksec]

30. Is this misdirection?

They wouldnt do that, would they?

Noooo.

And WTF is she doing wearing high heeled boots on a treadmill?
Im guessing she wont make the best dressed list without appropriate attire. She might wanna look into some sweats or whatever you women call them.

[Warchild]

31. umm hmm....

..she's a real slave to fashion alright.
