1. she'll burn in hell.

if there is a hell, she'll burn.

[TomInTib]

3. And if there isn't any Hell...

I will gladly strike the match.

And if there is a Hell...

I will meet her and a whole host of others on the Styx.

2. Damn liberal rag.. they edited out her show of patriotism

[Psephos]

4. That's not cool.

Making fun of a woman's physical flaws is boorish. Stick it to her politics, not her body.

No hard feelings, just sayin' that when we use their tactics, we become more like them.

Peace.

7. Condi looked like hell during those hearings

like her boss did the night before during his speech. It is appropriate to comment on her appearance. The NYT picture is not half as bad as what it could have been.

8. Making fun of a woman's diastema is not my idea of what we stand for

Making fun of a woman's physical or genetic anomalies crosses a line I don't care to cross.

It's Rice's politics that are rightly the subject of our criticism and ridicule, not her teeth, boobs, lips, butt, or other things I've seen caricatured. Makes me wince.

Peace.

:rofl:

10. to my mind it wasnt a question of her physical beauty

but the way that her facial expressions mimiced her interior turmoil.

I agree with your sensitivities but in this case, had a man looked like this, I would have remarked on his physical appearance as well.

It was the face of evil in pain.

5. Yeesh...

I am getting veneers soon and cosmetic gum surgery done next month, and I am not at all wealthy. Why won't Condi get her damn teeth fixed!?

6. The Word is Augmentation, Senator! --CONTENTIOUS CONDOLEEZZA TO THE END!

Why did Rice want to change the words "troop surge", or "troop escalation" to AUGMENTATION?

What was going through Condoleezza Rice's mind, in addition to the, "I hate you", look on her face and the, "how dare you, again, try to impugn my integrity," question mark plastered 'round her forehead, as Senator Barbara Boxer pressed ahead in her questioning of Rice during Thursday's, January 11, 2006, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearing? Señorita Rice kept repeating, emphasizing in the steel blade mode look of her eyes, in blowing the smoke of impatience off her stack that the word is not, "escalation", it is not, "surge". The word is, "Augmentation", she said, with seemingly double urgency in her voice.

I wonder how Señorita Rice interprets the word, "augmentation". I know how I interpret it.

"Augmentation", to me, means an increase. It means an increase in numbers, an increase in size, an increase in pounds, an increase in.... whatever. Plain and simple. No two questions about it in my mind. But, to be sure that I was interpreting the word correctly, I went to my faithful, Webster's II, New Riverside University Dictionary, wherein I found several meanings for the words Augment and Augmentation as follows:



Augment v.-mented, menting, ments. To increase. An increase. 1. To make greater, as in size, extent or quantity: INCREASE: 2. To add and augment to – To become greater.

Augmentation: 1. a. The act or process of augmenting. b. The condition of being augmented. 2. Something that augments. 3. The repetition of a theme in notes of usually double time value.
