In this photo released by the Palestinian Authority, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, right, meets with US Assistant Secretary of State David Welch, at his headquarters in the West Bank town of Ramallah, Friday, July 14, 2006. Abbas urged U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday to press Israel to end its military offensive in the Gaza Strip as the United States donated US$50 million to Palestinian refugees. (AP Photo/Palestinian Authority, Abd Alhalim Abu Askar)Ugh, is it any wonder our heroine passed this one up? I mean, that has got to be the lowest-rent matching armchair photo-op ever! I'm sure Condi was informed of this terrible situation by her crack squad of decorators, swatch-carriers and image consultants, and she wisely agreed with their declaration that the scene staked out for the press availability, as they termed it, was simply too gauche for the glamourous diplotaunte. Appropriately, a proxy was sent in her place, and the frightened, wooden yet tantastic Mr. Welch fit the bill.
And you thought it had something to do with diplomacy. It does! Honey, diplomacy is all about proper furniture placement.

So what's with the empty candy dish in the foreground? Did these two skinny tweakers eat all the M&M's?!
I just wish they'd keep condi the chickenhawk at home ALL the time. What a waste of DNA.
For that matter, fuck the chairs, fuck the empty candy dish. I want my country back. I hate these empty headed jerks in power.
Empty chairs would better represent the truth of US diplomacy.
Discreetly not making eye contact with that last commenter...this photo would have been so much better if they'd left a gob of stale Gauloise cigarette butts in that ashtray/candy dish.
Does anyone know what the deal is with Middle Eastern photo ops and boxes of tissue? Is it all the dust and sand? Why do the photographers never catch anyone in mid blow?
