Condi Rice Meets New Colleague at UN
US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice meets the new
Moldovan Minister for Tractor Production in New York today.
Condi's legs may well be the finest in Western government. That is a very short skirt, well set off by her co-conversationalist. Marvellous erotic photo. Thanks.
Perhaps Margaret is going for the Guantanamo look?
On a semi serious point, we had a long conversation about equality on another thread.
Condi Reiss is very beautiful. Margaret Beckett isn't. However, she is Foreign Secretary, not Miss UK. We have had uglier Foreign Secretaries. Robin Cook leaps to mind.
Perhaps it is naive of me given how visually oriented men are- that's just nature, fair enough- to suggest that as a 63 year old womnan doing a serious job she might be judged by something other than the "hot babe" criterion.
I truly believe in equality for gay people, Iain. How about some equality for old ladies?
Orange trouser suit of Comrade Beckett is sign of respect to workers of First People's Collective Tractor Factory in Spinsk.
Only last year heroic workers builded ten thousand three hundred and sixty two tractors with bare hands! Six more than target set by Dear Leader. For this they awarded Orange Overall of Superior Productivity and postcard from Dear Leader himself.
Comrade Beckett pays great honour to heroic workers of First People's Collective Tractor Factory and wisdom of Dear Leader by wearing such trouser suit.
For lack of party knowledge and slander of heroic workers of Moldova, please be preparing for visit from People's Police. Pack only one peice of hand luggage and inform People's Milkman you will be away from home for indefinate period. Please remember to switch off gas.

Fair point, I'm sure you are right re: MB's likey reaction being described as old.
I guess what I was saying was that while 63 isn't old to be Foreign Secretary it is old to be a hot babe, given that most men's idea of total babedom is probably about 17. That's fair enough, there is biological reason for that. However, being a babe is not really relevant to international politics. However, judging by the above I'm wasting my time. Thanks for acknowledging my post, C!
True story - my aged aunt who was the world's worst driver cut up a lorry. At the next red light the lorry driver leaned out of his cab and (verbally) abused my aunt. He finished his tirade with "you f**king old whore!". To which my aunt spluttered indignantly "Old? Me Old??"
It's not a case of Mrs. Beckett not being a "babe", it's a case of her representing the UK whilst dressed as a sofa.
The Queen is a lot older than Mrs. Beckett, but always looks well-dressed on official occasions.
Incidently, I have the same complaint about John Prescott, who seems to think that purchasing a suit that actually fits him is beneath his socialist principles or something.
I take your point on the outfit - and I described it as the Guantanamo look myself. Mrs T is also much older than MB and always immaculately dressed. A bit more effort on the sartorial front from MB, JP and a number of others would be good.
However, I don't think that the comments that MB is "toad faced" and "bovine" and expressing relief at not seeing her legs were aimed at her fashion sense or lack of it.
You quip about Darkness at Noon so easily. Can this be interpreted as criticism of healthy clouds of smoke coming from First People's Collective Tractor Factory?
Are you not aware that Dear Leader has assured us thse clouds protect us from dangerous UV rays that beat upon honest comrades thanks to dangerous environmental practices of Capitalist Yankee Pig Bush?
I am begining to suspect you are agent of Bush. Working in league to cause much cancer and ugly facial growths to freedom loving Moldovians.
I'm sure Condi also works much harder on skin care, exercise, etc. Good for her- she looks stunning. However, my point is that this shouldn't be mandatory for a top politician. Smart and professionally turned out- essential. Gorgeous- optional.
To take it away from the distaff side, Dominic de Villepin is pretty hot for a guy his age but he is clearly a complete airhead.

Cruel... but accurate!

An orange trouser suit? Oy vey. The mono photo I saw earlier one was scary enough.
What does she wear when's she's slumming it? Puce? Barbie pink?
Makes me proud to be British.
Talent, style, gravitas... all rolled into one.

I'm just relieved that Margaret Becket wasn't showing showing off her legs.
Now that's just a nasty outfit. Jack Straw many not have had the world's greatest fashion sense, but orange?
Probably goes with the decor of her caravan ...
I presume our Foreign Secretary already has a shopping trolley and some filthy rags to match her dreadful hairstyle and Oxfam-reject suit?
Beauty and the Bovine!
They judge a man by the company he keeps.
Sure, TB thinks quickly on his feet, which makes him a great politician.
But as a statesman...
Silk purse......
Barbara - an entirely fair point, but I bet MB wouldn't like being called old.
Comrade Pontivsky - Darkness at Noon here I come....

So I reckon you're correct.
Dear old Margaret Beckett, she's such a toad faced frump. I feel very embarrassed that she is representing British interests abroad.
I’m surprised Condi isn’t wearing sun glasses! How awful.
It's not a case of Mrs. Beckett not being a "babe", it's a case of her representing the UK whilst dressed as a sofa.
The Queen is a lot older than Mrs. Beckett, but always looks well-dressed on official occasions.

This is an unfair comparison.
Condi Rice is black, and the extra melanin in her skin means that she won't wrinkle quite as easily.
Also, Beckett is about 10/15 years older.

Sorry, that's Dominique de Villpin
Well said, Barbara Worth!
Whatever I think of Ms Beckett, she is being unfairly judged by her appearance.
"I'm sure Condi also works much harder on skin care, exercise, etc."
Indeed she does; check out NBC's special, "Talking Fitness with Condi Rice".
