:spray: there is a certain poster here that will LOVE that pic. :rofl:

2. They look like they're from payless.

Honestly why do I care? And if I'm made to care... Those shoes are farking ugly, and cut across the top of her foot in a way that looks like it would hurt at the end of the day.

5. But she shops at Ferragamo! While American cities flood out!

Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue, Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some nice, new shoes (we've confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get coverage from the WaPo's Robin Givhan). 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.

12. "let them eat shoes"

16. I know, but...

I remember walking in to many a boutique shoe store on Michigan's Mag Mile, trying to find the right kind of shoe for my wedding (outdoor terrain presented a 'heal' issue). I was willing to spend, and spend till it hurt - but I'd rather the pain come in my wallet, not my feet. I ended up with a great pair of shoes from DSW for $27. They were cute, perfect, and comfortable.

3. Makes me hurt just to look at them

Her feet look contorted. But I've always felt heels like that were designed to cripple women and make them powerless--after all, if your feel hurt, you can't think of much of anything else.

[Kitty Herder]

15. I agree. I hate heels.

18. Just call her "Dr. Scholls"

[Poll_Blind]

4. That's what happens when you put a big foot into a leeeetle shoe.

  Nowonder she walks around looking so pissed all the time. I can only imagine how restrictive and uncomfortable having her penis taped down must feel.

6. No matter what you might think of Condi or say about her, you sure can't knock her shoes although

wonder how any public servant could lavish so much such on only one item in one's wardrobe: she must own some Chevron stock. :D

8. She's obsessed with her feet - Al Bundy would understand

[MindPilot]

13. That was certainly the image in my head

Al with the clamps and and Griff spraying the WD40 as they try mightily to get that size 9 foot into a size 4 shoe.

7. ?

WTF!?

A picture of her shoes?

Is she running for office or something? Why all the fluff lately about this war criminal?

Hell, Imelda Marcos had shoes...

What I want to know is: what shoes was she wearing when she ignored the bin Laden memo?

[SlipperySlope]

9. Speculation of her on the ticket as VP

That's the republican Genius strategy. She's black AND a woman, so she's better than Obama and Hillary together, no?

[ColbertWatcher]

10. There is speculation on whether she's a woman...

...or black.

She is certainly an obedient neocon.

[dipsydoodle]

11. Her bike's a bit more upmarket

14. For some reason it makes me think of this

Begone, before someone drops a house on you... or maybe even a senate :P
