Rice refuses to ‘interrupt her holidays’ to deal with Georgian conflict
You know what that means....SHOE SALE AT SALVATORE FERRAGAMO! :woohoo:



from ThinkProgress:



Rice refuses to ‘interrupt her holidays’ to deal with Georgian conflict.»

When she should be traveling abroad to work with allies to deal with the ongoing fallout from Russia’s invasion of Georgia, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has instead been “noticeably absent.” AFP reports she is busy with other plans:

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has also been noticeably absent on the diplomatic scene, having failed to interrupt her holidays to fly to Tbilisi in support of the Georgian government.

Instead senior State Department official, Matthew Bryza, who oversees the Caucasus region was sent, two days later than planned, to join a joint EU-US mediation effort to win a ceasefire.


State Department spokesman Robert Wood said Rice made more than 90 calls this weekend to discuss the situation in Georgia.

2. She needs to be pelted with her own shoes.
What is with these people and their August vacations? Is this the month they have their satanic rituals?

"Prime Minister Putin, hello, this is Secretary Rice, and I'd like to discuss the Georgia situation... oh, wait, can you hold on a second...

{muffled} "Those are nice, but do you have them in red?"

"Yes, Mr. Putin, I'm back. Now, about Georgia.."

{muffled} "No, the heels are too high. I want something that won't make me too tall next to my husb..."

"Yes, I'm here. Sorry. Anyhow...

{muffled} "I like those, do you have them in a 10?"

"What was that, Mr. Putin? My cell phone connection seems to be... What? No, I'm paying attention. Yes, of course Georgia has to stop..."

{muffled} "I'll take the red Ferragamos. And the Manolo Blahniks too, the black ones."

"OK, Mr. Putin... Hello? Mr. Prime Minister? Hello?"
