Reuters photographers preoccupied with Condi's legs

[Enrique]

isn't this odd?




U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice crosses her legs following her key-note speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss Alpine resort town of Davos January 23, 2008. Rice offered Iran normal ties if it drops nuclear plans.

1. It's dem thousand-dollar shoes she's got on, methinks. Weird fetish, hey? nt

[ThomWV]

2. Strange coincidence, so is George. It really pisses Laura off too.

3. I will give her that

she has a nice set of gams from this woman's perspective.

4. Well, Kindasleeza is preoccupied with her own feet,

and buying shoes when cities are being blown away in hurricanes.

5. It's not that they're taking pictures of her legs,

It's that they're NOT taking pictures of that awful, gap-toothed face.

6. she's old enough to belong to AARP

The body language in the top photo is interesting. Her hands are tightly, tightly clenched, signifying great stress that she must control. Her legs are splayed in a self-deprecating, childish manner (right leg) AND in a womanly manner (left leg). That right leg looks almost deformed there.

7. That was a fun analysis, that!!!

8. Not Tina Turner's, but close. nt

9. Well she's obsessed with high priced shoes

so they're showing us the winter collection.

10. It sucks to be wearing a skirt up on a dias/dais. nt

11. In Context Those Are Great Photos - But Inappropriate for a Wire Service

Condi uses her womanhood to her advantage. She dresses like a woman who is comfortable in a position of power. Who can forget her very Martial outfit when she went to Germany?

If there were part of an exhibit, they'd be much more appreciated than, say, if they were used as part of a news article.

12. I heard that alien abuductees can bend their ankles as strange angles

Wild.

[grasswire]

13. I never saw anyone bend their ankle like that.

Especially someone sitting on a dais, in professional capacity.

14. hmm, kitten heels, she must be going for that softer enabler look.

15. Nope. A solid pair there, which is an even number

:P

16. I'm not a fan of having to defend anything about Ms. Rice but.....

this is ridiculously inappropriate of Rueters.
