Rice-à-porter

Damn...not only does the Washington Post's online edition prominently feature a photo of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's uber-Matrix frock 'n boots, but Washington Post writer Robin Givhan's fawning article "Condoleezza Rice's Commanding Clothes" is just too much. Dig this particularly sumptuous paragraph:
"Rice's coat and boots speak of sex and power -- such a volatile combination, and one that in political circles rarely leads to anything but scandal. When looking at the image of Rice in Wiesbaden, the mind searches for ways to put it all into context. It turns to fiction, to caricature. To shadowy daydreams. Dominatrix! It is as though sex and power can only co-exist in a fantasy. When a woman combines them in the real world, stubborn stereotypes have her power devolving into a form that is purely sexual."
Ahh, the beltway. The studded black-leather beltway. All together now: "It turns to fiction, to caricature. To shadowy daydreams. Dominatrix!" Actually, it just makes me wonder if the President is a drinker or a stinker.

    Wow. Wow. Wow!

    I have this thing for Domanatria (is that the plural of Dominatrix?). Anyway, those boots are fucking hot. I'd love to see a photograph of Condi all done up dominatrix-like with a riding crop and Hillary all tied up licking her boots. HOT HOT HOT. Maybe then Dick Cheney watching and jacking off from a booth in some sleazy live sex theater.
