Dr. Rice: From Coon to Condom

It just hasn't been fashion plate Condi Rice's week.

First, a right-wing radio host, in the midst of telling us how wonderful (choke) it would be to have Rice as the first female president, calls her a coon.

Then - and this has NOT been widely reported here though it certainly draws enough press abroad - everyone from small school kids to sr oldsters overseas have showed up to boo her (Joe Lieberman can commisserate: he got booed down at a Dem fundraiser in Connecticut, his home turf).

And now, Britain's Jack Straw has accidentally called her Condom Rice.

Would that only Condi's dad had worn one the night she was conceived!
