CNN just did CYA for Condi....poor Condi, just pushing her hair away.

[madfloridian]

Jeannie Moos just contributed that gem for us to see. Condi never put her hand to her forehead. Shame on all the photographers for taking still shots.

This has reached limits never reached before in our media. They sure do not do any CYA for Democrats.

No pics yet, but I am quite sure it will be all over the news now.

1. what did Rice do?

4. I think it's in reference to this photo

But there's a larger one where she's standing next to Lebanon's Prime Minister, Fouad Siniora

9. Yes, in reference to that. Said she did not do that.

That she was only brushing away her hair, and the bad photographers took stills.

[idgiehkt]

10. Yeah right.That helmet never moves.

If she went to "brush it away" it would peel off of her head in one piece.

[Emit]

12. That helmet never moves.

Bwhahaha...!!!

[jaxx]

15. LMAO

That hair don't move.

[malaise]

14. What fugging hair was she moving

She had no hair in her face. She never does. I watched that press conference live and she was caught in a most undiplomaic posture. Tell Bushco to keep on spinning image while they slaughter citizens of our planet.

11. Head on...Apply directly to the forehead.

Head on...Apply directly to the forehead. Head on...Apply directly to the forehead. :hide:

[catzies]

13. Now that's funny.

:P

[lumpy]

23. Brain overload and jet lag.

Flittin' around pretending to do something is tough on the brain. She should be tucked away in a safe place playing the piano instead of politics. Better yet, barefoot and pregnant.

[Cha]

24. Looks to me like..

all the lies she has to keep up with are giving her a motherfrigginheadache! The mother of all headaches if you will.

[Ghost Dog]

27. I see there were several distinct shots:

edit: looks like a real headache to me...

2. Here she comes to save the daaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

Consacenda's on the waaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

The MSM is trying sooooooo hard to might her the HEROINE! They could care less that she's an imcompetant joke with NO EXPERIENCE! They think it makes a good "human interest" story. No wonder all of our citizens are idiots.

[City Lights]

3. Disgraceful!

But not surprising. :-(

I fucking hate the corporate media whores. :nuke:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

5. moos soothes condi's blues.

[Master Mahon]

8. She played the blues

on the piano during her visit to malaysia??? Poor Condi! :+

[tinfoilinfor2005]

6. What did she do?

[Emit]

7. See pic in post #4 -- I think that's what this is in reference to. n/t

[partylessinOhio]

16. Photographers made Condoho look bad???

:shrug:

I didn't know she was a dummy with her hands being moved by the photographers.

Condoho doesn't need any help in making herself look evil, she has done that all by herself.

[eeltip]

20. She's 'evil' because she put her hand to her head?????

Cooooooooooooooooome ON! You folks HAVE top be concerned about something more important than THIS! This breaks 'petty' world records!

[madfloridian]

29. Welcome to DU. Poor poor little wittle Condi..

The media has to protect her.

[madfloridian]

30. Condi is so pathetic the media have to protect her?

Get it? Got it? Good.

[Kali]

31. Pizza?

:popcorn: :patriot:

17. Looks like the new pledge of allegience to me n/t

[Island Blue]

18. Tom Oliphant talked about this on Al Franken on Thursday.

He said Condi broke Lesson #1 for all "diplomats" - never, ever, ever, ever, EVER put your hands anywhere near your face or head when doing a press conference with another diplomat or foreign leader because if you do, the photographers will go crazy and THAT'S the photo that will be seen round the world. He said if you are a diplomat, you should stand there with your hand down in front of you. Poor Condi, she really sucks as a diplomat - she can't even get the simple, superficial stuff right.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

21. I think there are a million things we could rag on her for,

but I don't see how making a big deal of this picture is one of them. So the photog got a vulnerable shot of her. Big deal. And Oliphant is right, she should have remembered that this would happen, but so what? This is petty, and just makes folks who aren't all that political go to her defense. We aren't doing ourselves any big favors.

[Island Blue]

26. Of all the comments on this thread to pick on

for being superficial you choose mine? Whatever dude. Personally I don't give two shits where Condi does or does not put her hands. I was just repeating a comment made by a trusted journalist.

Thanks though for reminding me why I need a break from DU. :hi:

[madfloridian]

28. They are covering Condi's ass.....why? Ask yourself.

They sure don't do it for our Democrats. Never. This was so obvious so planned so pathetic.

It really has little to do with Condi and her cutesy little ineffective smile....it has to be with our pathetic media.

Some people here at DU can not see or understand what is in front of their noses.

[BenDavid]

19. Never have quite understood

the attraction the mediawhores have for this woman. She is the same woman that within months said two different things about Iraq and their ?????able weapons. Hell a sixth grader could tell she was lying at the 9 11 hearings and what has she really done by being Sect. of State? Nothing. That was a damn good picture of her and decribes her as not knowing chit to start with....Hell, I call her Condescension Rice.Always believes she is more important and more knowledgable then anyone else,and if you listen to her she does talk down to others. making no never mind who it is from a head of state to a group of American citizens.... and that pictures describes her well......

[emulatorloo]

22. kick n/t

[partylessinOhio]

25. NBC Evening News just showed a tape of Condoho descending

steps coming off her plane. She is having increasing difficulty walking down those steps. There is definitely something physically wrong with her. It could be her knees, her hips or a muscular disease. When she walks on a level surface she is markedly bent forward.

[AspenRose]

32. "Let's hear it for the rainbow tour..."

Would Condi win through? But the answer is yes...and no...and yes....and no....

[napi21]

33. I doubt there's anything physically wrong with her. I think it's fear!

I honestly think she realizes she's in over her head, and she's one the World Stage doing it! The photographers did what photographers do! Get the surprise shots, catch some public person doing something anything that looks dumb, confused, or embarrassing, and you'll have a winning pic!

I didn't hear anyone criticizing the photographers who videoed Shrub talking to Blair with his mouth full of bread!

The impression Condi gave with those hand gestures was weakness, an Oh My God what am I gonna do, moment. Like it or not, she made a mistake! Every public figure makes them once in while,a nd they usually are caught on film! The good figures shake it off, pull themselves together and go on, the incompetent ones continue to fail until they aren't public figures anymore.
