The First and Last Time You'll Ever See Condoleezza Rice and John Lennon Mentioned in the Same Paragraph

And when she reached the bottom of the steps, Condi crushed fresh strawberries into the tarmac with her Ferragamos before impishly crooning to the onlookers, "Imagine there's no Iran...."

EDIT: Also, hoo boy, Condi's gonna get a LOT of ribbing for this:

And in case you're confused, yes, it has been a three-country day for Condi: Line-dancing in Germany, enduring Chirac's spongey lips in Paris, and then on to defile John Lennon's memory in Liverpool. I'm sure she got just LOADS accomplished at each stop.

Someone needs to Photoshop that cartoon of John Lennon and make him puking.

No insightful comments about her 'do??

Well... nothing much going on there, is there? It's very helmety and shellacked. It really does look like a single unit, doesn't it? It's like one of those plastic wigs, like Devo wore on the cover of "New Traditionalists".

Also, does the hairdo's size relative to the head look a little larger than usual? I dunno... I yearn for change.

Do I see gray in the Chirac kiss pic, or is that just the light?

"Thanks for the chivalry, Monsieur, but keep yer damn tongue on the far side of your teeth."

Grey? No way!

The same Prussian military suit as yesterday?
Oh Condi!

Is he kissing her ring?

I'll bet her hand smelled like roquefort afterwards.
