You're not gonna believe the enconium that the WashingtonComPost's Robin Givhans gives to Dr. Rice's "gear" in Germany--This is the same woman who skewered Katherine Harris for her makeup in 2000 and who tried to rake VP Cheney over the coals for his parka at Auschwitz!
(BTW, I believe that Ms. Givhans is herself an African-American..uh...professional.)
Condoleezza Rice's Commanding Clothes
Here's the final graph:

Rice's appearance at Wiesbaden -- a military base with all of its attendant images of machismo, strength and power -- was striking because she walked out draped in a banner of authority, power and toughness. She was not hiding behind matronliness, androgyny or the stereotype of the steel magnolia. Rice brought her full self to the world stage -- and that included her sexuality. It was not overt or inappropriate. If it was distracting, it is only because it is so rare.

The woman's right--Dr. Condi's got it going on!
And are those boots Manolos, hon?


Girlfriend! Do you go in those boots or what?!
