Rice is headed to NO

snip>
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in an unusual foray into domestic affairs, sharply disputed any suggestion that storm victims had somehow been overlooked because of their race. "We're all going to need to be in this together," she said in announcing offers of foreign aid. "I think everybody's very emotional. It's hard to watch pictures of any American going through this. And yes, the African-American community has obviously been very heavily affected."

But noting her own roots in Alabama, and her father's in Louisiana, Dr. Rice announced plans to visit the region this weekend and said, "That Americans would somehow in a color-affected way decide who to help and who not to help - I just don't believe it."

:woohoo:

:sarcasm:

same thought I had, looks like 3 of you at the same time.. hehe Angry Shopping Lady for president!

whether they're real or not.

man the battlestations. we are moving to def-con 4. brace yourself for imminent photops.

ankle

cause he's still getting criticism. Time to send in Condi.

Hmmmm? If Condi's visit doesn't cheer everyone up...maybe send in some hooter's girls?

don't wanna get yer toes all mucky, Condi dear.

Aqua sox would be nice, it it weren't for all those dead people in the water.

Bush's regime views people in New Orleans as being in a foreign country, so they are sending the foreign minister.

I think this means rove is not happy with the pr campaign/

"in a color-affected way." :puke: Auntie Tomdoleeza. In Ferragamos.

at the Footlocker

From Jackie O to Emelda to Condie. The crown has been passed.

You guys have cracked me up!

I hope she's scared shitless.

Here, this Loser of a Woman goes to Ferragamo's Shoe Store in New York. These are nice shoes. Believe me, nice. Italian leather. Elegant. They ARE spendy, however. $300 is not unusual for a pair.

So here she goes out shoe-shopping while her own Brothers & Sisters are dying, drowning, exposed to sweltering heat, and thirst.

It just goes beyond the pale. I'm sure there are some family members down there who got hurt, at the very least relatives of hers.

This woman has nothing in this world. A cold, empty life devoid of anytying -- except

SHOES

she has been sucked into the neo-con world where everything is the opposite of reality. She probably thinks she is white. I hate her.

while she was shopping and going to plays.

Gads, the rest of the world may decide America needs regime change!

and show the stunning Ferragamo sandals she's wearing?

Welcome to DU!

:hi:

that I had for dinner. :puke:

;)

get her confused with all the OTHER black people there (ya know he doesnt "associate" with their ilk much) and she gets locked up in the Superdome with the "regular" people???/ God.....that would be GREAT karma.

*snarf*

I believe it is called ...... "And yes, the African-American community has obviously been very heavily affected."

If we had just know that the people trapped were African American we would
have done everything in our power to help. I resent the insinuation that
race had anything to do with letting them die of thirst.

as long as she gets to wear her new shoes. "Hey, Imeldaleeza, git me 'nuther brewksi, and make it snappy."

shoes for everyone! How can this fraud continue? She won't because Bolton wants her job and will cut her off at the knees.

she won't have to spend so much money on shoes.

Gee, I wonder why they would send Rice down there???

BUSH: "You gotta go down there and calm your people down. Heh heh heh heh!"

I want to call her a list of horrible names .

you all can fill in the blank..

What a _________ !

and the press will ask to shoot her shoes. The bimbo has marginalized herself. Comedy and shoes over concerns for humanity. A true elitist.

this. All of the oil and gasoline, toxic chemicals, feces, bodies, coffins, and urine should give them a special shine.

She's saying everyone is so emotional. That's true. These are emotional times when you see catastrophe's of biblical proportions.

But is she also trying to tell us not to let our emotions get the best of us? It seems that's what she is saying, in roundabout sort of way.

This could be the talking *cough*rove*cough* point they settle on.

I never thought I would ever be so disgusted, pissed off and angry at my government. Their arrogance and lack of compassion is disgusting beyond words.

But they don't need Rice.

...and say "There's no place like HOME! There's no place like HOME!"

Oh yeah, I remember now.

At least she's well-rested and feeling balanced, after seeing a few Broadway comedies. And to think, her father has roots in LA.

Did I mention Ms. Mushroom Queen makes me totally ill.

Next thing you know they'll make Collin Powell join her.

What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.

Remember, the * administration is all PR and no substance. Although, it makes me wonder how * could have screwed up N.O. worse. I know he doesn't care about the people, but it's been a disaster for his image, the only thing he does care about.

I love Condi's line "That Americans would somehow in a color-affected way decide who to help and who not to help - I just don't believe it." BULLSHIT.

or broadway show?

:puke:

how much more, america? how much more? for such an impatient, spoiled populace image we are tolerant to a fault for treasonous criminals. how much more?

She is only planning to visit Alabama.

As South drowns, Rice soaks in N.Y. Did New Yorkers chase Condoleezza Rice back to Washington yesterday?


Like President Bush, the Secretary of State has been on vacation during the Hurricane Katrina crisis, with Rice enjoying her downtime in New York Wednesday and yesterday. The cabinet member's responsibilities are usually international, but her timing contributed to the "fiddling while Rome burns" impression given by her boss during the disaster, which may have claimed thousands of lives.

On Wednesday night, Secretary Rice was booed by some audience members at "Spamalot!," the Monty Python musical at the Shubert, when the lights went up after the performance.


Yesterday, Rice went shopping at Ferragamo on Fifth Ave. According to the Web site www.Gawker.com, the 50-year-old bought "several thousand dollars' worth of shoes" at the pricey leather-goods boutique.


A fellow shopper shouted, "How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!" - presumably referring to Louisiana and Mississippi.


The woman expressing her First Amendment rights was promptly removed from the store. A Ferragamo store manager confirmed to us that Rice did shop there yesterday, but refused to answer questions about whether the protester was removed, and whether by his own security or the Secret Service.

Hope people in Alambama do the same when she shows up.

oh that is too cool. Most NYers already hate BushCo after 9-11. They know what these bastards are about.

And you're right, after 9/11, Ny'ers have very little love for BushCo.

"Big River" currently playing in New Orleans. Since everyone's talking about it so much, it must be great.

Miss You

at least. Good God they must think we are stupid. Wait, they do!

She'll hug them and tell them there is help on the way. Feel free to go to the Salvation Army and get some new clothes..

Rummy will probably go next. Afterall he knows where the bodies are located. To the North, South, East and West or somewhere thereabouts.
Dubby already got his worst Weapon quote in yesterday, so the War pResident can now turn it up a notch.

I can't say anymore else but scream AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I need to get away from it all for awhile this si too much for me!

You see Condi, there's been a little problem with the weather...

when the vice-president called and asked me to make a trip to New Orleans.

http://downingstreetmemo.com/

Screw you Connie, you can't buy shoes in N.O. now ... stay home. n/t

I suspect that fabulously wealthy N'Awlins native Anne Rice might be able to accomplish more down there right now than "shop 'til N.O. drops" Condi Rice.

What? She is going back to Alabama and N.O.. Most likely to a place like laura bush went to and made the statement, " It is not as bad as you see on TV" What will it prove, that she is black and trying to sqash the rumors that the help in coming was not somehow related to race....Help me L-rd! Is this the woman that keeps telling us that she has "been black all her life" What the hell does that mean? I cannot recall the African-American journalist that wrote this, but I can remember the quote well, " Condi Rice has not been black in years". Only when it suits her. Like this trip to Alabama will she use her statement, " I been black all my life".....as Garfield would say, " WELL, DUH! ".

I will go out on a limb here and say if Clinton were still President, this lack of concern and taking 4 days to even get water and food to those folks would not have happened. James Lee Witt would have gone in there on Tuesday with a force, and Clinton would have walked through the area on Wednesday, especially the Superdome and the Convention Center and not be worried one bit.....bush is president of the people.....William Jefferson Clinton was a President FOR the people.....
