Condoleezza: "I'm not good with animals."
http://www.rawstory.com/news/mochila/Food_falcons_A_desert_delight_for_B_01132008.html

President Bush followed up a mild lecture about expanding democracy among the Mideast's comfortable dynasties with an opulent picnic at the desert playground of one of the region's wealthy leaders.

(snip)

At his host's urging, Bush hoisted one of the birds, using a protective mitt, and held it as the news cameras whirred. When the bird shifted suddenly, a startled Bush jumped slightly, then recovered.

"You're making him nervous," Bush told the assembled media. "He never had a press conference before."

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice trailed her boss and kept her distance from the fierce-looking birds.

"I'm not good with animals," she was heard to remark. A few minutes later, however, she, too, was holding a bird, though not for long.

(end snip)

I don't doubt that for a minute, Ms. Rice, not for a minute.

2. There are a lot of woo woo believers out there
who think they can judge a person's character by how cats, babies and birds react to them.

Poor Condi. For some of us, they sing.

12. Animals sense - exactly my thought too - We had a pet
squirrel and it would go to everyone in the family....except one individual...
it finally did jump on her shoulder.

And promptly peed !
:rofl:

9. when someone says that they're "not good with animals"
it usually means that animals take a dislike to them - and for good reason
