NATOlicious


U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (R) talks with NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer at the start of a NATO foreign ministers meeting at the Alliance's headquarters in Brussels December 7, 2007.

Fresh Condiproduct first thing this morning! She's in Brussels, which we noted yesterday. She looks like she's having fun after her awful African detour, and who can blame her? Look! It's our old friend, the Dutch Hula-Hoop Guy™! Condi's big NATO agenda mostly had to do with getting Russia to hate Iran just a little bit more, but then people kept distracting her by occasionally bringing up some weird Kosovo place and everything was getting all muddled up.

I also think Condi just doesn't quite know what to make of the pasty new boy:

And I think that's more or less it for the Condiweek. I'm assuming she'll be either traveling all day or, tantalizingly, shopping, and we never get to see that. When will we be able to go on a virtual shopping spree with Madame Secretary?

The look she is shooting Milband looks like a classic "meet cute" moment. Oh, she hates this guy! Who does he think he is?

Just like Lizzie Bennett and D'arcy.

Just Like Maid Marian and Robin.

Just like Buffy and Angel.

Soon enough... smoochy smoochy in the broom closet.

We're still allowed to imagine her happy, aren't we, even if she does carry the water for evil, lying scumbags?

She TOTALLY looks like she's telling Hula Hoop to meet her after school behind the bleachers! WTF?

But Pasty Turkey Guy probably felt cold for hours after Condi gave him that Freeze-Ray look of hers. Brrrrr!

Didn't Jaap de Hoop murder that American chick in Aruba a few years ago?
Or was that Van der Sloot?
Or Mott the Hoople?

Whatever.
