She [Sec. of State Rice] has also been criticized as a "dominatrix" who oozes "sex and power" for wearing

That's a criticism? >>>>veg<<<<

"Eliminate, eradicate, and stamp out redundancy!"

Yeah, yeah, everybody's all fired up about redundancy, but where's the outrage over polysyllabificationizing?

"How many of US have slammed Hillary Clinton for the extra helping of butt she has?"

Butt? I can't get past those demonic eyes.

I can't understand what anyone could mock her for.

And always remember to eschew verbose articulation.

Home schooling, where the participants are all family, is the Thing.

I completely agree! Home schooling integrated with the internet is the future. Kids learning at their own speed without idiotic teachers holding them back. I suggest there is going to be a revolution shortly in this matter of education.

Aha! Caught you red-handed in a blatant act of sesquipedalianism.

If they're fair game, so are we

Yes, but sometimes I think they try to tempt us ... like releasing a flock of wild turkeys over a skeet shooting range. There's no way Waxman isn't an intentional plant. And what about Reno? Pelosi? So many Turkeys ... so little time.

No secret that Liberals are immature, shallow, selfish children that never grew up.

"Well, let's not be TOO self-righteous here. How many of US have slammed Hillary Clinton for the extra helping of butt she has? Or Helen Thomas for looking like a mistake at the gene-splicing lab? And don't even get started on Bella Abzug or Betty Friedan. Then there's everybody's favorite sack of guts, Ted Kennedy."

Yes, but "WE" are not the MSM or represent the GOP.

The media and RAT politicians never mock the appearance of Thomas, Hillary, Kennedy, etal. as they commonly do with Republicans and conservatives, while the GOP never childishly reciprocates.

I can't understand what anyone could mock her for.

THey mock her for being pretty. They mock her for being feminine and heterosexual. They mock her for having a beautiful figure. They mock her for being that most charming and gracious of all creatures, a Southern lady. They despise the very concept of being pretty and pleasant to men, and the classic idea of being a "lady"--noble, strong, courageous, honorable, and sweet--is horrifying to them. They mock her because she stands for something they are doing their best to destroy, traditional Judeo-Christian values. So they make fun of the fact that she uses makeup to enhance her appearance and feel superior, from the pit of their craven hatreds.

The difference is that we are criticizing Albright and Thomas and Hillary between ourselves. We are not writing articles for the consumption of the masses in major newspapers or on broadcast television. People tend to say a lot of things in a just-friends atmosphere that they would not say before 300 million fellow citizens. If we can't speak frankly before our friends, where else can we voice our opinions?

That said, a gentleman does not comment negatively or in a sexual manner on the appearance of a woman, unless he's going to do so in the most oblique, subtle, Christopher Hitchens type of way. Which is really far more satisfying and clever than doing it straight out!

That picture makes me think of a fairly recent country song,"Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy".

Single gals like that, don't stay single long.

And men married to women like that, need to let other men know that they own loaded guns.

You are right, we do address the great senator Kennedy as a sack of s*t, which he is, the difference is that our comments have yet to make the front page of any of the MSM. The lefty's comments on conservatives appearance are taken as fact and are usually considered breaking news by the MSM.
World of difference, my friend.
