One of the things that really annoys me about Condi, btw, is that she's smart, obviously, and an innately talented person, but she has no sense of her own limitations, and this is her--and our--undoing. She's a masterful pianist, a disciplined athlete, and an expert in Russian affairs (allegedly, but I have heard otherwise)-- but she doesn't/didn't know fuck-all about Iraq or Afghanistan. Maybe if she--like me--was musically retarded, she'd have humbly stepped back and thought, hmmmm, maybe I should read a book about the Shiah/Sunni schism before sending the 101st Airborne in to fuck shit up in Mosul.

Oh, that dry British wit.

I'm sorry, "legs like a piano??" Is that a phrase? Does that mean something?
