"Why do I need to see her in Spandex? It has nothing to do with the quality of her mind."
Oh, spare me. We see the male politicians jogging about in their shorts all the time!

Heck, seeing Condi in Spandex is reason enough for me.
Cause she has a cute butt?
(grin,duck, and run)
Perhaps Ms Ritzy Ditzy von S merely objects to Spandex and not to a public Condi doing squats....
In any case Secretary Rice is in her 50's when the body has begun losing muscle and understands she needs to stay physically strong in order to contend with those world class egos.
But let's not forget the furor that accompanied Bill Clinton's appearances in short jogging shorts. There was much discussion of how his willingness to be seen in such attire proved that he lacked the gravitas for the presidency. (Some who said that may now be saying that ensuing events proved them correct.)
I suspect that the reason we get uptight about public figures in tights has less to do with a violation of gravitas than it does with the fact that most of us--including me--are not in good physical shape.

They're just jealous that she actually can pull it off.
The responses are falling along political lines as I predicted earlier this week.
(warning - gratuitous photos of Jane Fonda in leg warmers at link - warning)
And Bush Administration hating NYT reporter Elizabeth Bumiller is working on a Sec. Rice book. Any bets on whether the book will be positive or negative?
And Condi wore no Spandex, just good old (hopefully) American grown cotton (at least that's what it looks like from the photos).

I agree, they look like sweat pants to me. This sure seems to fit into "this has something to do with George Bush so we have to bitch about it" category.

I'm in okay physical shape, Mark, but I tell you, I wouldn't parade myself in shorts like Clinton did.
There was something very indecent about the way those Daisy Dukes would ride up on his thighs, ick.
And Dubya in shorts, whilst longer, and not being pasty like Clinton, a little more salutary-looking, still makes him look dorky.
You'd never see Chirac in shorts, is all I'm sayin'.
P.S.: Condi in Spandex is absolutely tame compared to Condi in black SS knee-high boots. Yowza!
Cheers,

Further proof that Condi rules.
I followed a link to a lefty site the other day, and the hatred for Condi is already unbelievably virulent. I SO want her to run in '08, but I really am dreading "Condi Derangement Syndrome" if she does. There were some really, really nasty racist, mysogynistic, and homophobic (use your imagination) comments.
