Condimania: Condoleezza Rice left men powerless in her wake
No, the story is dated 04/02 NOT April Fool's Day.



Condoleezza Rice left men powerless in her wake

Condimania
By Elizabeth Day
(Filed: 02/04/2006)

The Dean of Blackburn is a holy man and, as such, is not generally touched by earthly desires. He has serious misgivings about the Iraq war. He is a sensible, mild-mannered sort of fellow, not given to unnecessary exaggeration. But that was yesterday. That was BC. Before Condoleezza.

"Oh, I thought she was charming," says the Very Rev Christopher Armstrong, reflecting on his hour-long meeting with the US Secretary of State in Blackburn Cathedral. He pauses. A playful half-smile curls his lips. His eyes glaze over slightly and gaze into the middle distance. It is as if he is recalling a particularly pleasing experience, such as winning the egg-and-spoon race at his primary school.

"She looks nice, she's interesting, she's very aware, very concerned, and she can handle the protesters so well. She knows other people's opinions are important and she values them."

=snip=

It was, in the end, simply another example of Condoleezza Rice defying the odds. No wonder all the world is smitten.

If you can handle it, the full story here:

Too bad the story turned out differently.

4. only trouble is, she led us into fraudulent war, ignored the pre-war intel
lied about 9-11/Saddam connection and WMDs & is responsible for 10's of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of deaths on all sides, US & Iraqi, for no good reason.

Besides that, she's just wonderful. :puke:

5. There was a peaceful atmosphere about Hitler, too - soft Austrian accent,
a fatherly man -- according to Traudl Jung, Hitler's Secretary (and subject of the awesome documentary "Blindspot").

I am *NOT* saying Condi is Hitler -- I am saying that the human tendency to expect evil actions only from people lacking in charm and politeness is INSANE. All of the people in the world who have accomplished immense evil had to have been able to charm people around them to follow!

Talk about a Blindspot -- :grr:

11. Yeh, I hear he was very p.c. with an apple, too.
Exploiting a window to the soul, no doubt. (Blecch! I am sooo punny, today!)

12. OMG - this is a Murdoch rag, right?
They have gone a bit overboard with the propaganda here.

Claiming the world is smitten with Condiliar Rice is beyond belief even for the kool-aid chuggers.

13. What 12yo fanboy wrote that DRIVEL?
Whoever wrote that gushing, juvenile garbage
needs to be SLAPPED.

Often.

By someone who knows how.

16. "...The Dean of Blackburn is a holy man ..." (????????) perhaps he is just
another man, holy or not, selling his soul to the devil!

17. This the Telegraph - doesn't count
in any rational discourse. Though when they find out that Churchill is dead and Thatcher has gone mad,,they're going to be REALLY pissed off.
