The Post's Kinky Condi Fantasies

Posted on February 25, 2005

The Washington Post has a highly inappropriate and disturbingly Freudian column about Condi's black outfit she wore when visiting Germany. Here's a taste:

As Rice walked out to greet the troops, the coat blew open in a rather swashbuckling way to reveal the top of a pair of knee-high boots. The boots had a high, slender heel that is not particularly practical. But it is a popular silhouette because it tends to elongate and flatter the leg. In short, the boots are sexy.
Rice's coat and boots speak of sex and power -- such a volatile combination, and one that in political circles rarely leads to anything but scandal. When looking at the image of Rice in Wiesbaden, the mind searches for ways to put it all into context. It turns to fiction, to caricature. To shadowy daydreams. Dominatrix!

It's funny when Wonkette does it; it's her job to be irreverent. But it's just creepy when a serious publication like The Washington Post spends an entire column discussing said columnist's sexual fantasies about our female Secretary of State. Whether you love her politics or hate her politics, you have to admit that Secretary Rice always looks professional, cool, calm and collected when she represents our country abroad. Many women wear high heels just to be taller and give a psychological advantage in a business meeting -- not to send a "come hither" message. It was also cold as hell in Germany that day, making boots and a coat quite practical. But, lost in an S&M fantasy, the Post could only see Rice through the filter of its own kinky fantasies. This is the newspaper that brought down Nixon? For shame...
