She’s a brilliant woman, speaks seven languages, is an accomplished pianist, and you’re complaining about her _hair_? ---

Yeah, I understand that _ivylass_, but would you take your pet to a veterinarian that resembled Ace Ventura? ---

I think she should get a jherri curl so that every time she is on television, they’d play that “Soul Glow” song from Coming to America. I think she’s a nice-looking woman, except when she scowls and furrows her brow. When she does that, she tends to resemble Chucky from Child’s Play. . ---

Physically speaking, I think she’s quite hideous. The hair is awful and she has a protruding simian-like ridge above the brow. Other aspects of her do make her somewhat more attractive however. ---

My understanding is that she was going to get gherri curls but Bush said he liked it the way she has it. ---

Is there a man in her life? Funny, but I’ve always just assumed she was single. ---

She’d be hot with a “natural.” Say Pam Grier-sized. Nice legs, too. Ever see one of her photos in a figure-skating outfit? I’d look for a link, but I’m at work. ---

I thought maybe we’d have a Pit Rant about her being called “Dr. Rice.” We’ve had some semi-hostile threads about the general topic of “Should PhD’s dare be called DOCTOR!?” over the years. I believe one of the arguments was that if one was at a party and someone had a heart attack, there would be confusion and delay getting medical attention from a “real” doctor if we allowed all those poseur PhDs to use the title. It’s goddamn lucky Bob Kerrey didn’t pop a vein in that light-bulb shaped head of his! He’d probably be dead now, what with all those people assuming Condi is an MD. Signed, “Dr.” Cranky. ---

> [@grienspace](#): > > But Condoleezza’s hair just sucks. I mean those wings are so ugly that my predominate reaction is a feeling of pity. Too bad. You think she wears a wig? I don’t. I was just looking at her hair yesterday and thinking how ugly the style is, but I don’t think it is a wig. Her bangs are the worst, the way they’re too long and pushed over to one side. Ugh. ---

_Thank you!_ I thought I was the only one who hated her hair! The White House doesn’t have a stylist who could tell her - “Honey, that look is not flattering.” ---

I’m thinking it would look [something like this](http://mediaservice.photoisland.com/auction/Apr/2004496529559855038367.jpg). She’s better off with the wings, in my opinion. (Seriously, though, I think a straight pageboy would look as classy and hot, without freaking the cats out too much.) ---
