Condoleeza’s retail therapy

Posted on 02. Sep, 2005 by Cassandra in Totally Whack

There’s nothing like a major national emergency to get the old retail therapy juices flowing.

Gawker reports that while New Orleans drowns, US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice shoe shops in Ferragamo.

What does surprise us: Just moments ago at the Ferragamo on 5th Avenue,
Condoleeza Rice was seen spending several thousands of dollars on some
nice, new shoes (we’ve confirmed this, so her new heels will surely get
coverage from the WaPo’s Robin Givhan). A fellow shopper,
unable to fathom the absurdity of Rice’s timing, went up to the
Secretary and reportedly shouted, “How dare you shop for shoes while
thousands are dying and homeless!” Never one to have her fashion
choices questioned, Rice had security PHYSICALLY REMOVE the woman.

Seems like looting is not just a problem down south.
