Ms. Rice demonstrates how she’s going to crush Putin’s head.

Why does the world love to hate Condoleezza Rice So much? Okay, stupid question. But jeezy-condoleezzy people, lighten up a bit. Starting with this Pravda.ru piece (okay, it’s Pravda.ru…) which resorts to phrases like “scar for a mouth”, “piggy eyes” and “butch, defensive posture” the writer goes on to describe her as “…about as diplomatic as a raspberry and a fit of giggling at a funeral ceremony…” and calls her a “…bullshit-mongering bimbo…” (okay, I’ll give him that one). In the interest of maintaining something like perspective here, let’s point out that Pravda.ru’s News Partners page lists Fark.com as a “partner”, and they misspell her name about 37 times. A little more rational in tone is this Slate.com piece, which still resorts to the peculiar headline “Loud Voice, Tiny Stick” as it focuses on her recent ineptness in responding to Russia’s incursion into Georgia. In spite of having little respect for Rice myself, I can’t help wondering if the tone of articles like these would be different if she were a man. I mean, she’s not a man, right? In any case, Ms. NeoCondi can take solace in the fact that somebody out there has confidence in her…
