According to (Matt) Drudge, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has recently enjoyed a little Broadway entertainment. And Page Six reports that she’s also working on her backhand with Monica Seles. So the Gulf Coast has gone all Mad Max, women are being raped in the Superdome, and Rice is enjoying a brief vacation in New York. We wish we were surprised.

What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE(!) the woman.

Angry Lady, whoever you are, we love you. You are a true American, and we’ll go shoe shopping with you anytime.

The latest on Condoleezza Rice’s Manhattan vacation, courtesy of a reader: "Secret service is all over Seventh Avenue. That [expletive deleted] worthless bitch is shopping in showrooms right now." Whoa, such language! And how could anyone just assume that our leaders have anything other than the best intentions? We actually have it on good authority that Condi’s snapping up the best of the Spring collections and sending the fripperies directly to the Red Cross....

Rice has been obviously promoted far beyond any natural abilities she may possess would warrant. The sad thing is that her thorough mediocrity makes her one of the more competent members of the Bush Administration.

Howard,

Hannity had a cow over that cartoon. Condi should go back to playing the piano. She is hopelessly incompetent, but then again, she fits right in with the Bush Administration.

Yes, the FReakers cussed Oliphant for weeks after that sketch...

Do you recall "The Peter Principle"? It was a pop management theory which suggested that in a weak organization every member rises to the level of his/her incompetance.

Baby Bush--minus his creepy family connections--would be better suited as a Cranston ward-heeler.
