And this just reminded me of what Peggy Noonan spoke about in her article yesterday:
Condi Rice. The new secretary of state has been doing something both different in public and, I suspect, not without meaning. When she meets with the leader of another country and poses for the handshake photo-op she never looks at the leader. She always looks at the journalists witnessing the event instead. She gives them her warmest, most connected smiles.
Then, when the picture taking is over, she turns to the foreign leader with a more neutral look, makes eye contact and chats. I don’t think this is an accident. I suspect it is the administration’s way of finally fighting back against 50 years of embarrassing and compromising pictures of American leaders meeting with leaders such as this, this and this. The Bush White House doesn’t want those pictures. They may be inconvenient down the road. And so administration members on meeting foreign leaders give all their jolly warmth to the moment, as it were, and not the man. Interesting. And Rice is not alone.
Turns out, Darth Vader is a woman.
Is it just me, or is the dominatrix look not quite the image we want to project around the world? Over at the Washington Post, they’re calling it “sexy”, “swashbuckling”, and “foreboding”. I think it’s just creepy.

CBS has MemoGate, NBC has its own problems, so what does ABC do, it goes Psycho.

Thanks for the Trackbacks, BlueOregon. But since you didn’t really link to me, my readers can type your address in.
Not that there is anything to read there that wasn’t included in your trackback.
Besides, most Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com readers come for the Jeremy-Gilby part of the dot-com.
