Pumping iron, with Condoleezza Rice

12 minutes ago



NEW YORK (AFP) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will flex more than her diplomatic muscles when she demonstrates her personal workout regime on network television this week.

In an unusual departure for such a high-profile official, Rice not only pumps some iron, but also discusses how she manages to stay fit during her continual globetrotting and reveals strategies for coping with high-calorie banquets.

"She is tough, I have to tell you," said Barbara Harrison, a news co-anchor with the NBC4 channel in Washington who persuaded Rice, 51, to put on her gym sweats and participate in a regular segment on health and fitness.

"She is amazing. The amount of weights she handles and the endurance she has ... As a person who has exercised all my life, I was very impressed," said Harrison, who joined in the workout at the State Department gym with Rice and her personal trainer.

1. This is the "access" the MSM gets in exchange for toadying to admin.

Shameful.

[slor]

2. Oh how sweet...

glad she can take care of herself, while she helps to make the nation sick.

[bluestateguy]

3. Kind of makes you wonder why she is still single at 51

I'm not trying to spread any rumors or anything...

[Mythsaje]

4. There's no news like no news...n/t

[IsItJustMe]

5. Sounds like like it needs to be a 4 hour CNN news special

and my wife keeps asking me, "And when is she going to get her teeth fixed".

My answer, Who cares.

[blm]

27. Yes - a companion piece to Flyboy - the coverup of GHWBush's WW2 cowardice

.

[IsItJustMe]

29. Dan Rather lives

[hatrack]

6. Dude, WTF?

:shrug:

[DancingBear]

7. "and look at these great workout shoes!"

got them "on sale" in New Orleans...

[katty]

8. more fluff and distraction from WH...hmmmmm

[rkc3]

9. You know pictures of her are bad enough - now we'll see her in

workout gear. Better get the air sickness bags ready.

[Solly Mack]

10. So uh - now it's time to make Condi look more human and accessible?

Wonder why?


they do this shit with Bush from time to time - "human interests" angles in an attempt to make him seem like "one of us" (barf)

So now it's Condi's turn?

Again - wonder why?

[acmejack]

23. You know why!

I've seen enough of your discerning posts to know this is no riddle to you! I cannot believe they would really do it though. But they certainly are proceeding apace, our friend Frank Luntz is undoubtedly conducting focus groups at this very moment determining if Ms. Rice may indeed be considered a potential GOP presidential figurehead.

[Solly Mack]

26. Yeah, I know :(

The tone of many of the news stories on Rice for the last year has been geared toward the promoting of Condi Rice as a candidate.

They're running her up the flag pole, so to speak.

[rodeodance]

11. she flunked flexing her diplomatic muscle in the ME last week--suspose

this is a pr stunt to raise her image. (Karen Hughes style).

12. They've finally figured out how to do "bread and circuses"

without the bread! The lowest common denominator is to now just give us the circuses, and let the riff-raff figure out where to get their own bread.

[SmokingJacket]

13. Doesn't the Secretary of State have better things to do than

make workout videos???

Like there aren't enough videos of people lifting weights out there....?

[leftofthedial]

14. she levels the stink eye on the barbells

and they just jump right off the rack

[libodem]

15. hhmmm, I thought she was an android?

I figured her tune-ups constituted a screwdriver and some circuitry adjustments, through a little trap door on her back. I'm highly surprised. Condroidessa isn't a bushbot???????? Huh?

[DetroitProle]

16. oh what a jolly little soiree

high-calorie banquets, and working out at the State Department gym...and to think, the rest of us earning an HONEST living have to work at least 2 jobs just to feed our families...work out at the gym? Oh please, like we even have time for a full night's sleep. Gym membership? Well, yeah, maybe after winning the lottery.

Let them eat cake!

[Beetwasher]

17. *sigh*

I weep for this country.

[dave29]

18. I was hoping more for shopping with Condi

:shrug:

[MuseRider]

19. This shit just really

pisses me off. "Let them eat cake"

Who cares? We are losing everything in the country, Iraq is in chaos and blowing up and this is what they give us, fucking workout videos of the powers that be?

I think I will now go smother myself with my pillow.

What a sad sad world this has become.

[HughBeaumont]

20. CONDI! SPORTS BRA! SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

Boy, if THAT ain't enough to make you copiously evacuate everything you've eaten in the past 4 days . . .

[MuseRider]

25. Next step

her own line of workout gear. :puke: Yup, that was about 4 days worth.

[Ksec]

21. Jane Fonda of the WH.

Makes me wanna stop working out.

[cally]

22. She is one strange woman

I just can't understand why she would do this. Doesn't she want to be taken seriously or is everything in Bush world about appearance and photo ops? :sarcasm: She's in great shape but why would a professional woman do this?

[Ksec]

24. Shes showing everyone what to do when their Medicare goes away

Excersize is their last hope of health with this bunch in charge. If pumping iron fails, yer toast man.

[Ilsa]

28. She also doesn't have to care for a family or even

pay attention to a family or husband when her work day is over. It's alot easier to maintain an exercise regimen and your diet and fitness when you don't have to squeeze others into a tight schedule. I've been thirty-something and single. It's alot easier to keep those fitness goals.

[Kadie]

32. Having a family makes a big difference.

I find that when I do find the time to exercise I am just too tired to do it. LOL

[chemenger]

30. Condisleezy will be featured on the cover of next

year's Sports Illustrates swimsuit edition.

[Javaman]

31. I hope she shaves her 5 o'clock shadow before she does...

Those steroids do some kooky things to people....

:puke:
