Are We Sick of Matching Armchair Shots Yet?

No? Good, because take a gander at those babies! Presumably, the contractually-required fireplace is on the other side of the room. Them chairs are totally Rococolicious! Also, interesting timing for Condi to be meeting with the United Arab Emirites*, no?

BUT THAT"S NOT ALL! Oops, sorry, capslock stuck. Anyway, it was a matching armchairs double header today! Observe:

How lucky can a gal get?

This second photo also demonstrates why it's good to have the matching armchairs situated before a fireplace or wall, because that brutal backlighting caused by the window isn't doing this photo op any favors.

*Also, I get confused... emirites are the ones that grow down from the cave ceiling, while emirmites grow up from the floor, right?

Personally I'd like to see Condi in matching camoflauge folding chairs, sitting next to Dick Cheney at the Armstrong Ranch after he'd drunk his lunch.

Where did Lebanon get their armchairs, the Camp David yard sale?

I think you are much too hard on those chairs, they are very slimming... :) Roccolicious! You make me smile. Thanks for that babe.

I enjoy the vast variety of matching armchairs available to the consumer. Almost as much fun as visiting the International Museum of Toilets in India.

In the bottom photo, check out the handshake. Condi is sliding him five, as if it's some sort of...hmm...secret handshake.

Miss Pony,
Rumour has it that your beloved Condi will be in Chile in March. Will send you pics.

Don't get too close, OK?
