She has no one but herself to blame. She uses so much petroleum
based makeup they named a tanker after her. The Condoleezza Maru
ain't yer average Rice boat.

Maybe it's cuz you're a myopic Republican. Besides, it's too late
for you since her heart already belongs to Daddy. Daddy Shrub, that
is. Not many women slip and refer to their boss as their "husband",
as she did a while back. :)

And this is considered the norm. A 100 good shots are better than 9, 900
bad ones.
