I was just watching C---i Rice and I noticed something...
when these people in the Bush administration talk of really horrible things: terrorist attacks, political assassinations, Katrina victims, and the like, the get this peculiar smile on their faces. The dissonance between their words and their facial expression is striking and I will say that the first time I ever saw that happen was many years ago when none other than Dick Cheney (Cheeeeeneeee, as Tweety would say (since that's the 'correct' pronounciation)) used to do it in the 1970's. I remember how weird that was when I was a graduate student and thought to myself, "what kind of individual would smile every time he referred to the dead in Vietnam or the results of the Watergate scandal, or an airline crash."

Years of therapy required for the cure...for them and for me, after these 8 years.

4. It's the smile of someone who has gotten away with murder.
So far.

5. Rice is a special case. Her playmate dies in the Birmingham Church Bombing and she
gladly signs up and serves a party that happily promotes a "southern strategy" of disenfranchising and marginalizing the power of blacks in the south.


I remember the bombing of that Sunday School at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1963. I did not see it happen, but I heard it happen, and I felt it happen, just a few blocks away at my father’s church. It is a sound that I will never forget, that will forever reverberate in my ears. That bomb took the lives of four young girls, including my friend and playmate, Denise McNair. The crime was calculated to suck the hope out of young lives, bury their aspirations. But those fears were not propelled forward, those terrorists failed.<10>

– Condoleezza Rice, Commencement 2004, Vanderbilt University, May 13, 2004

6. The most grotesque smile belongs to Laura Bush
Kinda reminds me of a deranged Stepford wife.

I think it's glued on.

7. Be careful on the title of your post. condeleeza rice has an amazing cousin
named Connie Rice who is a great civil rights lawyer. She has fought tooth and nail against the republicans:

8. Really! And you know what?
PCIntern is the name of a series of books published in the early days of home computer ownership!

What a coincidence!
