While the South DROWNS, Condi Rice buys shoes!

What was Condelezza Rice doing while the South was drowning under Katrina? Well. The over-worked Secretary of State was in New York City doing what her boss recommends all his people to do: "Git on with her life."

Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes. A fellow shopper, unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.

Next, the good Secretary of State was seen at the US Open hitting some balls with retired champ Monica Seles at the Indoor Tennis Club at.

Finally at night, the cultured and whimsical Secretary of State yucked (& I do mean YUCK) it up at 'Spamalot' ALL while the Gulf Coast lays in tatters.

Theater goers on New York' City's Great White Way were shocked to see the President's former National Security Advisor at the Monty Python farce last night AND MADE THEIR POINT BY BOOING CONDI RICE WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT UP.

Is it a conincidence that the lady who doesn't like her integrity IMPUGNED was in Washington, DC doing a press conference on Katrina the next day???

In any case, to help our Good Secretary of State keep her excellent grasp of what really matters -- FASHION!! -- we are urging all of you to send her shoes.

Preferably old & ratty (afterall, retro is SOOOOO in).
