Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, delivers opening remarks on the release of the State Departments 2005 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, Wednesday, March 8, 2006, in Washington. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)Something has obviously gone terribly wrong with the Condibot. I happen to know that a Pony Pal™ was in attendance at this event, so I'm anxiously awaiting a report. Were there sparks? Wisps of smoke?
UPDATE: Here's the preliminary report from the Pink Pony agent, obviously still rattled by his Close Condi Encounter:
omg she's fucking scary.There, there, I'm sure everything will be OK.
UPDATE 2: Pony Pal™ Ari has sufficiently recovered to give us this enthralling glimpse of the scene:
Okay, this is what happened. The folks in the press briefing room we're all wild and talkin and gossipin and stuff. Then, one hand emerged from the door on stage. No other body parts entered. Behind me I heard whispering: "Is it her? Is that Condi?" And it was. After about 10 seconds of the hand the rest of Condi entered the room. She sped to the podium. All I could concentrate on was her lips. It was like The Rocky Horror Picture Show lip thingy: just two bright red lips moving independently. She delivered some canned remarks read directly from the page--hardly ever looked up. She looked angry, like she wanted to be doing something other than speaking about how bad the world is (maybe she had missed her workout this morning?). After the last sentence, she spun around and bolted the hell out of the room. Apparently, she did not want to answer questions.Holy cow! Two sparkley hooves way, WAY up, Ari! I think my favorite part is imagining Condi's disembodied hand and the near hysteria it engendered.
Poor Condi... having to talk about human rights is such a drag.

Perhaps her batteries were running low..sorta like my laptop when I forget to charge it.
she has no friends. she has to talk to her own hand, thus the length.
She's heard that you are stepping out on her with Jo Ann Emerson... it's more than she can bear.
I agree with Lulu. She was sending you a "talk to the hand" message.
I'm disappointed she didn't linger for Q and A. She strikes me as such a charmer when she's before a live audience.
