The media really needs to stop putting her on TV. That’s all. ---

She’s painful to listen to as well. They need to stop putting her on the radio, too. ---

She’s cute. Nice figure, fierce scowl, what’s not to like? ---

She’s the Grima Wormtounge of the Bush Administration. ---

It’s not just the teeth, haricut, or mean scowl. It’s the whole package. It’s not ugly, it’s disturbing. ---

Right, because if there’s any self evident truth out there, it’s that there’s no better measure of someone’s skill or abilities than their physical attractiveness. ---

Wow. I don’t think she’s that bad looking at all. She’s not going to be winning any beauty contests, but she’s not hideous. Y’all need to take a gander at the Kennedy clan…now there’s a whole buncha ugly in that group. And I’m not just talking about Ted, either. ---

That hair cut makes her look seriously elderly. ---

Makes you almost admire Bush if he can get it up for her. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > That hair cut makes her look seriously elderly. I do have to agree with that statement. Her hairstyle has got to go. It would look awful on just about anybody, but it really isn’t going to work with her, at all. ---

> [@brickbacon](#): > > The media really needs to stop putting her on TV. That’s all. Back in the Clinton era I thought the same thing about Madelrine Albright, Donna Shalala and of course, Janet Reno. I actually think Condi’s kind of cute. She’s a fascist who’s drunk the GWB kool-aide too much. She’s got an unflattering hair style and gapped teeth, two physical inpediments that didn’t hurt either her or David Letterman any. ---

?? Well, not that it has any bearing, whatsoever, on her ability to do her job, or worth as a person, but I don’t think she’s bad looking at all. In some of her pictures she’s down right pretty. Any chance you’re projecting a dislike of her politics (which I know next to nothing about)? ---

No, she has a face that could stop a clock. ---
