Condosleeza is reasonably intelligent but she has little regard for the truth and is quite homely.

Of course Condi is an intelligent woman, and has had a remarkable life-trajectory.

That hardly exempts her from being the subject of political cartoons.

I will ask SI Dave if I can post links to actual racist cartoons. Unless someone here would object. Even if Dave, taking the subject and reason for the post into consideration, says it's acceptable, I'll not post links to racist cartoons if there is an objection.

Anyone who would object to seeing posted here links to examples of actual racist cartoons and caricatures should speak up today.

I'd be curious to know if I'm the only one who felt very sorry for Janet Reno for the constant sexist ridicule she received based on her unprepossessing physical appearance.

Think of all the males in politics who would be generally considered as unattractive as males as Reno is generally considered as a female. But how frequently do any of those males have to endure a constant harping ridicule of their physical selves, so that they're virtually never mentioned without a sneer at their looks?

How many now objecting to that cartoon have objected to the sexism in what Reno has experienced?

Leaving for several hours, maybe the day, now.

"She (Condi Rice) is the most academic member of the Bush foreign affairs team."

Now this statement is definitely accurate. Pathetic, but accurate.
