Second Fiddle

See Crazy Eyes' confident swagger? She knows who's in charge. See Condi's sour look? She does, too! I've mentioned before that many of Condi's duties have been turned over to the first lady, and last week's stunningly purposeless journey to Afghanistan certainly proved that. That was supposed to be Condi's unnecessary journey! And now, there she is, just there to sign the papers, I guess.

A lot of people leave comments here saying, OMG, what will you do when Condi leaves? But, you know, by that time, I'm thinking all of us will be pretty much over her*. Don't you think? Heck, coming up with a new subtitle for the blog won't be that hard. Hmmm... I keep track of Ursula Plassnik's scarves so you don't have to has a nice ring to it.

*The latest poll numbers suggest America agrees with us.

Plus, Condi's hairstyle has become pretty stagnant of late.

If it's all Ursula and crazy Christians, you know you'll have at least one loyal reader.

Actually, I'm pretty sure some other regulars will pop on over with a "Me, too!" or three.

If, g-d forbid, McInsane wins, you will always have Cindy-trollop and that Bakersfield-style daughter of theirs. Just sayin'

I'm so glad I found this blog. I certainly won't mind not hearing about lecdondel. You don't need her, Princess!

If Laura is the First Lady, what is Condi? The Second Lady?

Or the First Spinster?

Snake eyes completely over-dosed on whatever she's taking to forget about Dubya.

Part of Dr. Shoes' obvious disappointment is due to her realization that while Team Pickles had the smarts to send the PickleBot to meet with the Francies, Team Condi was dumb enough to slap an ugly suit on the real thing and send her. Merde!

In this one, the dreadful "Dr" Rice looks like a minor character out of the musical "The Big Parade."

The First Lady? Actually, that's Jack Nicholson as The Joker. In drag. He left LA on Friday for the Middle East.

Celtics rock!

That's not a confident swagger; she's just glad to be let out of the Airstream.

What will you do when Condi leaves? 2 words: Yulia Tyshmoshenko.

Just do a google image search.
