I think you and Moonbeam and Dealmonkey made it very nicely with your subtle racist remarks ;)

I said nothing subtlely racist myself, in fact I commented on how the race baiters are trying to rile up racists. So the fact that you think I made subtle racist remarks indicates you are either a racist, or ***gasp*** a liberal racebaiter.

Zephyr

Oh? Calling her a beast isn't racist? Why'd you edit your comment then? What kind of beast does she look like?

I edited it out because I thought of something better. But I'll say it again, Condoleeza Rice is ugly all the time and looks like a beast in both pictures. Is that racist?

Zephyr


Condoleeza Rice is ugly?? Wow.

That's not; you are. :)

So commenting on a woman's looks makes me a racist? JohnGalt and alchemize are overly PC liberals I guess....

Hehe, my mistake. I thought it was Bush that was standing behind her. I guess I'm either a subtle racist or blind. But I did think everybody knew who is the

Chimp.

I think she is quite attractive for a 50 year old politician. But if she is ugly or not isn't the point. The point is, what form of Beast does she look like?

I guess if by "professional" you mean qualified to sing lead vocals for Flock of Seagulls, then yes I'd tend to agree with you there.

Oh, your compaing her to a dwarfish african american male actor in a sitcom didn't have some subtle racism in it? OK, I stand corrected ;)

I don't know but I bet she wouldn't sell much pancake flower with a mug like that.

Oh man, I don't know why I have this tender heart that wants to feed the zoo animals.

Here we go again, reference to animal. Chimpanzee. Proven bigot and racist.

So sayiong that the Dub bares a striking resemblence to a Chimp isn't racist but is someone says it about a person of "Color" it is? Sounds like it's you who are being the racist. Well not really, it sounds more like you are grasping for straws

Condi Rice is a reasonably attractive, highly educated woman. Now she's got string beans for legs and arms but given a choice between her or Sandy Berger for a weekend soiree . . . I would go with the SF treat.

As for the pictures. The FOX version doesn't actually look like her . . . it's not even close to her skin tone and despite her low bodyfat . . . her face isn't that angular. In an attempt to cover up minor facial blemishes, they made her look like a Caucasoid caricature all the way down to framing her lipstick to reduce her lip size.

Despite being a touch underexposed the CNN version actually looks like Condi Rice; flesh tones are closer to normal, hair is more typical of her style. In fact, the minor underexposure actually hides some of her facial blemishes (and wrinkles) that FOX tried to cover with yellow cake foundation. I assume she did her own makeup for the CNN pix so it appears Condi makes it a habit of moderate the lips.

I find the Constitution arcane. It's in dire need of an amendment banning homosexual marriage and African-American Women from holding public office? .

Yup, this whole thread is grasping at straws. I'm sure Al imagined some grand debate between the merits of each picture, however I doubt there was any intended slight at either news outlet. Especially considering at least one if not both pictures are from the AP. Stirring up trouble over nothing . . . are you having fun yet Al?

(I certainly hope I didn't say anything unintentionally racist ... please advise if I do. Thanks!)

So much so he actually looks a little crazy, I'd say. I mean, if you think you saw something of significant difference in them two pictures you might just want to check with a doctor especially if your eyes test OK.

Actually, it devolved exactly into what I expected it to ;) Yes, I'm having fun. Lunch is over. You may all return to your regularly scheduled double standards...
