Hey, what happened to the Condi Rice cartoon? Did you pull it? Why?
Because I wanted to share a protest chant heard in New York this year at an anti-war march:
Condi, Condi, Condi Rice
Your policies suck but your shoes are nice!
Explanation: Rice was in New York City shopping for clothes when Katrina's flooding was killing people; some outraged New Yorker stopped her inside Ferragamo shoe store and said - what are you doing here buying shoes? People are dying in New Orleans! - but security just hustled the shopper out, and Condi went on to her appointment with a couture designer. However the press reported the incident and it made a big impression.
Leila - that's hilarious (the Condi Rice chant) - trust New Yorkers to notice the shoes ;)
Haha! Funny Chant.. well, let me share one with you that Kefaya activists chant to her each time she comes to Cairo:
"Give Mubarak a visa, and take him with you Condalizza!":P
Seems there was some technical error that took the cartoon down when Issandr was resizing it.. I spoke with Issandr now, and he'll put it up again soon. It is funny indeed
